Quote of the week

KITTY: “I was reading a book the other day.”

CARLOTTA: “Reading a book?”

KITTY: Yes. It’s all about civilization or something, a nutty kind of a book. Do you know that the guy said that machinery is going to take the place of every profession?”

CARLOTTA: “Oh, my dear, that’s something you need never worry about.”

~ Jean Harlow (Kitty) and Marie Dressler (Carlotta), Dinner at Eight
