Heat Lightning (1934)

Lyle Talbot: Jeff

Quotes 

• George : Want another barbequed sandwich?

  Jeff : I can hear the warden ask if I have any last words before they turn on the heat and you ask if I want another barbequed sandwich?

• Girl with Black Bangs : Say, doesn't your boyfriend talk?

  George : Speak to the girls, Jeff.

  Jeff : Hiya, Toots.

  Blonde Cutie : Well, we got that all cleared up.

• Myra : Sorry about the paper. We get the news quicker from the radio there.

  George : Yeah, but not this time of day though, do you?

  Myra : No, along about evening. Even then sometimes the static is so bad we can't get anything. This time of year we have quite a bit of heat lightning, you know.

  George : Heat lightning, huh? That will give my pal a thrill. Won't it Jeff?

  Jeff : Yeah. That's all I need now. Something to remind me of...

  Myra : It's enough to get on anyone's nerves.

• Jeff : Holy cats. Well, let's scram.

• George : We're staying on here, but just long enough to get our hooks on the rocks those dames lugging around. We're in a tough spot and we might have to do some greasing to get across the border.

  Jeff : Thanks. I'm glad you let me in on the plot.

  George : We got our own New Deal coming up. Prosperity is just across the border.

• Mrs. Tifton : I demand this man's arrest. He's a Peeping Tom.

  Jeff : Hey, listen, she's got me all wrong. I'm out taking a walk, see. How do I know I'm gonna come around a corner and run into a dame standing with a piece of soap in her hand? I ain't used to seeing women taking baths out in the middle of the desert.

  Mrs. Tifton : Well, you certainly stared as though you'd never seen a woman at all before.

  Jeff : Listen, Toots. I seen plenty. And I seen a lot better than you.

  Mrs. Tifton : Well, you certainly seemed to be enjoying it at the time. You know, you could have turned around if you didn't like it.

  Jeff : Yeah? And if you didn't like it you could have ducked down. It don't take no longer to do one than the other.

  Mrs. Tifton : I demand this man's arrest immediately!

  Olga : That might not be wise. This gentleman might enter counter charges demanding your arrest on the grounds of immoral exposure.

  Mrs. Tifton : Huh?

• Jeff : When we're staying we're leaving and when we're leaving we're staying. You got me all mixed up.
