Across the Pacific Movie Quotes
Rick Leland
Hey, are you getting sick?
Alberta Marlow
I don't know. How do girls usually act when you kiss them?
Rick Leland
Well, they don't turn green.
Alberta Marlow
Then I'm sick. Get me out of here.

Rick Leland
I never saw anybody like you; you never have any clothes on.
Alberta Marlow
Well, if anyone heard you complaining about it, they would put you in a psychopathic ward.

Alberta Marlow
We were discussing Philippine economics when we were so rudely interrupted.
Dr. Lorenz
My own field! Miss Marlowe was kind enough to listen to me.
Rick Leland
They're going to be free in 1946, aren't they?
Dr. Lorenz
They are - provided America doesn't insist on fighting a war with Japan. It's my opinion, however, that that contingency is going to keep the Philippines from ever being free.
Alberta Marlow
Won't Japan gobble them up?
Rick Leland
No offense, but Japan or Canada or anybody else can have the Philippines, as far as I'm concerned. It's hot in Manila.
Dr. Lorenz
Might be even hotter before long.
Alberta Marlow
Hot enough to go around in shorts?
Rick Leland
Ah, there's a Canadian for you! Let 'em take their clothes off, and they're happy.
🧡

Rick Leland
Is that a gag, or do really come from a place called Medicine Hat?
Alberta Marlow
What's wrong with Medicine Hat, except that it's hot in summer, cold in winter and nothing ever happens there?

🥱
Rick Leland
How are you doing, angel?
Alberta Marlow
I think I got pushed in the face by someone. My - My lipstick's smeared.
Rick Leland
Aww, you look cute.
Alberta Marlow
And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go to my cabin... and faint.
🧡
👏
🥺

🥱
Rick Leland
You certainly are a girl of many colors. First, your legs get blue. Then, your face turns green. And, now, your red all over.
Alberta Marlow
I never knew what suffering was until I came on this pleasure trip.
🧡

Rick Leland
Don't be an innocent bystander; they always get hurt.

Alberta Marlow
I'm not so obsessed with money as you seem to be. I can do without it.
Rick Leland
You stick around with me and you'll get plenty of practice.

Alberta Marlow
[after they kiss]
What's the matter?
Rick Leland
Look, I didn't mean that.
Alberta Marlow
I did. Why didn't you?
Rick Leland
Well, a fellow with a suit like mine, shouldn't go around kissing girls.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Rick Leland
It'll probably end up with Captain Higoto marrying us on the boat.
Alberta Marlow
Oh, no! I want a church wedding and a groom who's got more than two suits.

Rick Leland
If you catch pneumonia, what will happen to our romance?
Alberta Marlow
What will happen to it anyway, if you don't shave.

Alberta Marlow
[Talking about Japanese people in general]
You are always so calm. You never show anything.
Capt. Higoto
We are told not to. It is our way of rife. We must not show too much sad-i-ness or too much joy. If you praise what we have, we say it is nus-sing. If you admire our sons, we must say thay are unworthy.

Rick Leland
[to Lorenz as they both view U.S. planes overhead]
Any of your friends in Tokyo have trouble committing hari-kiri, those boys'd be glad to help them out.

Dr. Lorenz
Where will you stay in Panama, Mr. Leland?
Rick Leland
The Pan American. It's very quite and respectable.
Joe Totsuiko
That ain't for me.
Rick Leland
Where are you going beautiful?
Alberta Marlow
I'll have to find some place where they have the bath at the end of the hall and a 40 cents lunch.
Rick Leland
I know the guy who owns the Pan American. He'll give you a rate.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Joe Totsuiko
Pull up a chair, Joe. Thanks, I will. What's that you're knocking yourselves out with? Hey, waiter, I'll have one of those. Well, how we doing?

Alberta Marlow
That seems reasonable enough. I'm Alberta Marlow.
Rick Leland
My name's Rick Leland. Would you mind stepping into the light? Please.
[Both walk towards the light]
Rick Leland
On a Jap freighter, too. You better pinch me.
Alberta Marlow
I don't think I know you that well.
Rick Leland
A pretty girl on a boat and no college boy, no handsome officers, no eligible men of any description. That's wonderful.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Rick Leland
Are your legs always blue?
Alberta Marlow
They're not blue!
Rick Leland
Oh, Sugi - give me that blanket, will you?
Alberta Marlow
I don't want a blanket; I want sunshine.

Oh, your teeth are chattering like a crap game. This is November, and it's winter, sunshine.

Rick Leland
At last, we're alone. Now, listen, bright eyes.
Alberta Marlow
No romance. There's something very interesting over there, Ricky.
Rick Leland
Where? What do you mean?
Alberta Marlow
T. Oki. It's not the same Oki that came down from Halifax with us. That's another man.
Rick Leland
Ah, the heat's getting you, Angel. They all look alike.
Alberta Marlow
No they don't either. Not if you examine them closely.
🧡
👏

🥱
Rick Leland
Sam, you can help me. People tell you things.
Sam Wing On
People tell me because I don't tell. I tell, they don't tell me any more.

Joe Totsuiko
You can sit down now, folks. Nobody's going anywhere.
Rick Leland
You guys been lookin' for a war, haven't you?
Joe Totsuiko
That's right, Rick. That's why we're starting it.
Rick Leland
You may start it, Joe, but we'll finish it.

Alberta Marlow
Mr. Leland, I believe that a man should tell the woman he's going to marry everything.
Rick Leland
Oh, in that case, I'll come clean.
Alberta Marlow
What?
Rick Leland
I look old, but that's because I've worried a lot. Actually, I haven't yet reached the age of legal consent, and if you don't get out of here, I'm gonna yell for help.
Alberta Marlow
All right, you can get yourself another heiress.
🧡
👏
🥺

Sam Wing On
What's the matter you, Rick?
Rick Leland
What's a matter you? What's a matter me, Sam?
Sam Wing On
All the time, people say you no good. Big smell from up north. I what's a matter you come back? Too much Army here. Everyone know. You through with Panama. Panama through with you!
Rick Leland
Well, Sam, maybe I won't be here long.
🧡
👏
🥺

🥱
Rick Leland
I'm sorry to be late, angel. I was held up.
Alberta Marlow
Oh, I like waiting for you Ricky. Wouldn't I make a splendid wife.

Alberta Marlow
Something cool and long.

Dr. Lorenz
One night, you told me about your troubles in the Army. I'd like to hear more about that.
Rick Leland
I got in a jam with a dame.
Dr. Lorenz
Yes?
Rick Leland
I needed some dough. I had access to the regimental funds so I borrowed it, intending to put it back, of course.
Dr. Lorenz
Of course.
Rick Leland
They found out first. The brass hats could have given me a chance if they wanted to, but they didn't. They tied me up with pink ribbons and threw me to the wolves. Write your own finish.
🧡

🥱
Sam Wing On
You no need money? Sam smell big fish.
Rick Leland
Sam keep nose clean. Sam no smell fish. No catchy trouble.
Sam Wing On

Rick Leland
Maybe so.
Sam Wing On
Gal too?
Rick Leland
I don't know Sam. I hope she's all right.

She got your bad. Much trouble. All the time, much trouble.

Rick Leland
Maybe you overlooked something?
Dr. Lorenz
Could you suggest anything, sir, that we might have overlooked?
Rick Leland
What about your getaway?
Dr. Lorenz
We have a rendezvous with an undersea boat.

Canadian Major
Your full name?
Rick Leland
Richard Lomas Leland.
Canadian Major
[recognising the name]
Richard Leland?
Rick Leland
Yes, sir.
Canadian Major
I believe at this time we have a full complement of coastal artillery officers of all ranks.
Rick Leland
I thought the Canadian army needed men of experience.
Canadian Major
Oh, regardless of his qualifications, no one man is indispensable.
Rick Leland
Maybe Chiang Kai-shek won't be so particular.
Canadian Major
I'm aware neither of the exact desperation of the Generalissimo's needs, nor how good are his sources of information. Good day, Mr Leland.
🧡

🥱
Dr. Lorenz
Don't you find, Mr. Leland, that the United States is inclined to forget that most of the world is at war already, with more war to come? Perhaps in the Pacific?
Rick Leland
Well, if it comes, it'll have to do without me.
🧡
👏
🥺
🤔
🥱
Dr. Lorenz
Relationships between modern young Americans seem most peculiar to a man of my years. You give your lovemaking an assault and battery twist. Living so long in the Far East has perhaps given me a more or less Oriental view of things.

Rick Leland
Someone should tell our little friend that tight overcoats and guns don't go together. He's liable to get picked up by a cop.

Rick Leland
What was that boat you were talking about?
Steamship Office Clerk
The Genoa Maru, sailing tonight for Yokohama, by way of New York, the Panama Canal, and Honolulu.
Rick Leland
It's for me.
Steamship Office Clerk
Excuse, please.
Rick Leland
How much?
Steamship Office Clerk
To port of final destination, 212 dollars 80 cents.

Alberta Marlow
Who are you after? Are you a G-man or something?
Rick Leland
What if I was?
Alberta Marlow
I just wondered.

Dr. Lorenz
You probably don't share my enthusiasm for the Japanese.
Rick Leland
I don't know, I never thought much about them.
Dr. Lorenz
A wonderful little people. Wonderful. Greatly misunderstood, believe me. To know them, that is to really know them, is to feel the deepest affection for them.
