Broadway Melody of 1936 (1935)

Paul Harvey: Managing Editor

Quotes 

• Bert Keeler : It gives my column a homey feeling, a sort of a domestic touch.

  Managing Editor : That's not Broadway. Now get this Keeler, I want the kind of stuff you get looking over transoms and peeking through keyholes.

  Bert Keeler : Well, you can't always get stuff through keyholes. Sometimes the people aren't home.

  Managing Editor : Then, you find out where they went and why.

  Bert Keeler : Well, suppose I find them and they're doing nothing wrong?

  Managing Editor : People are *always* doing something wrong - for a good reporter.

• Managing Editor : Say, this mademoiselle Arlette you've been spreading all over your column, do you know who she is?

  Bert Keeler : Yeah. She's a five cent cigar - and a very bad smoke.

• Managing Editor : Keep up the good work, my boy. I may give you a bonus.

  Bert Keeler : Thanks. Looks like I'll die a rich man. If I live long enough!

• Managing Editor : Listen, your column's going strong. You're a success! People are beginning to hate the ground you walk on. Everybody in town wants to see you hit by a taxi. Think of it!

  Bert Keeler : Boy, am I hot. Everybody hates me! Ain't that swell.
