Let’s talk like we’re in an old movie

Aw, go on, ya louse.

Gee, Tommy, I had a swell time tonight.

Say, would you get a load of the gams on that tomato!

Listen, bub, I’ve had just about enough of your antics. Why, I oughta sock some sense into you once and for all!

Just put your lips together and, blow.

I don’t know nuthin’, ya heah!?

Isn't it a pity, all the wrong people always have money.

Pleased to meet you, I'm sure.

Let’s hoof it sister!

She had a a walk I could feel in my left pocket!

He was a Lady killer, but don't get any ideas, I ain't no Lady.

I’ll send for my things.

She tried to sit on my lap, while I was standing up.

I made it ma! Top of the world!

What do ya take me for some kind f a sap or somethin.

Ah'd kiss ya, but ah just washed ma HAY-ah!

Beulah, peel me a grape.

I love this thread!

I was minding my own business, see?

Just reading some texts, see?

And there’s this link, see?

So I click on it, and BOOM —. here I am, see?

I didn’t know it was a fairy site! I ain’t one of them poofs!

Heyyy, who do ya think you're talkin' to, pal? I oughta fix your clock for ya!

Aw, OP, ya big lug.

I’ll show you to the door.

Charmed, I’m sure.

Saaaay, what's the idea? You tryin' to put one over on me?

Put up yer dukes, ya big palooka!

Whattsa matter, ya yellow?

Oh, how do you do, Mr. Bentworth? I'm Susan, Mr. Wilson's secretary. Please make yourself comfortable. Mr. Wilson will be with you in a moment.

Tea?

Mildred! Mildred!

With all my heart I still love the man I killed.

Keep yer mits to yerself, Buster!

Listen, sister!

What a story. Everything but the bloodhounds snapping at her rear end. -Thelma Ritter

Move it along, toots.

Dial the valet.

Listen-up, sis: shut yer yap or I'll shut it for ya- capice?!

I may have not grown up on Park Avenue, but common sense tells me you are nothing but a common thief.

Ah told ya a million times, not ta talk to me while I’m doing my lay-shez!

We're gonna take the train uptown, see. And then we're gonna meet Johnny who's gonna drop the goods on the corner of 1st and 2nd, see. And then we're gonna take the train back downtown and we don't say nothing to no one, see.

Hi there, dollface!

Awwwww, ya muddah!

She's a hash slinger. She ain't the kinda dame ya take home to mother.

I can do what I like - I'm free, white, and 21.

[italic]Woman:[/italic] What kind of dame do you take me for? Now scram! Beat it, before I call the cops!

[italic]Bartender or bystander, menacingly[/italic]: Is this guy givin' you trouble?

[italic]Woman, icily[/italic]: He was just leaving.

Fresh!

There's a word for women like you, but outside of a kennel, it's not used in polite society.

You're my kinda dame: breathing

I’ve met a lot of hard-boiled eggs in my time, but you- you’re twenty minutes.

Operator? Long distance please. Reverse the charges.

A kind colored boy help me bring in the groceries.

Check out those gams!

Ahhh, you're full of applesauce! Go tell it to the Marines!

Say, OP, I'm gonna put you wise!

We'll be having a madcap weekend in New York! It will be very gay!

Home is where you come to, when you run out of places.

She's a real tomato!

Young man, are you making love to me?

Operator -

GET ME THE POLICE 👮‍♂️!

Long distance, please. I want to place a call to Reno Nevada.

So I sez to Mabel, I sez, "Why would ya wanna go with a masher like that? He gets ya into his car and then he becomes all arms like an octopus!"

That's fine! That's just fine!

I'm going to Reno to get a divorce!

You're a beast and a bully and I wish I never met you!

Every time you'd kiss me, I always used to wipe my mouth! Wipe my mouth!

A man hops into a taxi and says-

Driver,

FOLLOW THAT CAR!

[italic]To be said by a guy pushing his head up on his forehead and quizzically scratching his hairline:[/italic]

Well, how do ya like that!

Dames!

Well, I'll be.

Huh! Takes all kinds.

Well if that don't beat all.

^^^ er, pushing his *hat* up on his forehead....

Mind your own beeswax!

Aww come on and lick my cunt. You know you want to eat that damned thing.

Bridge? Golf? Pete, I've never seen this side of you!

Aw gee, kid.

Youse & me got off on the wrong foot.

Hows about we be pals?

Shut up and suck my pussy!

I'm soused!

Great Caesar’s Ghost!

Oh, Johnny, I think you're swell. But don't be a knucklehead and get mixed up with a crummy dame like me.

"Six Thousand Dollars? It's Not Even Leather!”

Oh god please don’t hurt me

Does anyone remember those old madtv skits with the 1940s "bad dame" in the modern world?

"I told ya, Johnny, I'm no good" to the befuddled guy who broke in.

In Living Color, and Velma Mulholland.

Yes, In Living Color!

Organdy, perhaps we're wrong!

OP what do you define as old. Movies from the 70s and 80s are old now. I was thinking 50s and classic Hollywood.

We'll have to do a separate thread, "Let's talk like we're in a Film Brat of the '70s' Movie."

R83?? Try again honey.

Pipe down this is a toll call!

Pray, scat r83.

C’mon sailor, let’s cut a rug!

Beat it, dust!

23 ski doo!

Awww, you give me a pain!

Does anyone recall the movie from 20-30 years ago in which at least one or more of characters exclusively spoke in language of around the 1920s?

No dice, kid.

To sound legitimately "old movie," it helps to begin every other sentence with " Say, . . . "

I’ll have the ham sandwich and a cup of coffee.

That’ll be five cents.

Well, golly, Darla, I'm just crazy for ya, don't ya know?

R21, The Hudsucker Proxy?

Operator! OPERATOR! Get me the police!

Hello Lover...

I can feel the baby kicking.

"86 the wisecracks"

[quote]I can feel the baby kicking.

Whatever movie that's from wasn't so old.

"What is the meaning of this?!"

"Ted Casablanca is NOT a fag... and I'm the dame who can prove it!"

And Toto too?

What's this about a Depression? Old man Wickford was spreadin' it around pretty thick last night.

Here's a swinging little number from Buster Grimes and his orchestra, "Baby You Made It Hard On Me, Now I have It In For You".

You're a bunch of heelots!

Hey, can the chin music bub!

Buzz off, will ya!

What's the rumpus, bub? She give you the air?

"Wait. She has a sister"?

Police 👮‍♀️ Dispatcher says in monotone voice-

CALLING ALL CARS

CALLING ALL CARS

Be on the lookout for a 1948 Hudson Coupe , Black

Come out with your hands up.

Drift!

"You're a fickle boy, Mink. The Dane finds out you got another "amigo," well, I don't peg him as the understandin' type".

So, we'll struggle like most me couples. Just wait till the baby gets here. Say., Wat the idea? A bat for on the middle of the lake?

Hello, Operator.

Where to, Mac?

Good day to you sir!

Aw, so's your ol' man!

[quote]Good day to you sir!

I said good day!

Why, Miss Jones! You're beautiful without your eyeglasses!

"May I come in?"

"May I take your coat?"

"My! What a LOVELY home you have!"

"Can I offer you a drink?"

Ya ain't got nothin' on me, copper!

“Oh, how very grand it all was!”

G’wan, beat it! Scram!

He tried to make love to me, so I shot him.

Howard wake up, I think I hear a prowler!

R123, I still say those things.

Nuts to you!

Fasten your seat belts it’s going to be a bumpy night.

Yeah... in a BIG way, sista!

And if I ever lay my two eyes on you again, I’m gonna walk right up to you and hammer on that monkey skull of yours ’til it rings like a Chinese gong!

[quote] Does anyone recall the movie from 20-30 years ago in which at least one or more of characters exclusively spoke in language of around the 1920s?

Anyone?! It was a low budget film. No actors of any reknown.

^ Also, the lead male character - portraying either a reporter or a cop - was the only one in the movie who spoke as if was a figure from the distant past.

Well, what was the movie R135? I guessed Hudsucker Proxy above.

Mine is not a trivia question, R136. I’m asking because I’m looking for help in identifying the movie. And it’s not Hudsucker Proxy I’m thinking of. It featured - as I recall - a fairly no-name cast.

The Man With Bogart's Face.

"Yassa, boss."

What's the matta? Ain't ya man enough? Stick it in!

"Don't fuck under the apple tree, with anyone except you, ur hott brother, and Tyrone Power."

"You've got me moister than a flap jack down there"

Awww, wise guy, 'ey??!!

Hey Honey, does the carpet match the drapes!

He’s doing the old 23 skidoo with me, giving me the air, see?

R142 and r144 — never, not even in pre-code Hollywood 🙄

Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

Why Mildred, how gay you look!!

That’s not it, either, R138.

“I slapped her face because she deserved it!”

R150 proves that half the people in the comments don’t understand the game

Got any hooch around here? Ya’know… sauce.

Just let ol *Uncle Wally* take care of that.

"Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars."

Gimme a packa smokes.

Pancakes, Barbara!

Johnny, you gotta take a powder! That gumshoe was back last night, nosing around and giving me the third degree.

Wife- I’ve kept your dinner warm for you. Husband- I’m too tired to eat I’m just going right to bed.

[quote]half the people in the comments don’t understand the game.

Which is why what started out as a fun thread is now played out.

Just tell me the facts ma’am.

I wonder if you know what I mean.

Keep your powder dry.

Say! dat’s da suck job!

Okay, I laughed at r163

R34

Very, very clever!

Cigars Cigarettes !

Cigars Cigarettes!

Why I outta POUND youuu!

Saaaay, what's the big idea?

My puddy stinks.

Don’t bother, Marie, I’ll send Ramon for the bags.

That Delilah! Ya gotta watch ‘em every minute.

You’re DRUNK!

Say, you guys. Say.

I've seen that there a speed limit scene from Double Indemnity too many times so it's lost its cuteness.

Phyllis: There's a speed limit in this state, Mr. Neff. Forty-five miles an hour.

Walter Neff: How fast was I going, officer?

Phyllis: I'd say around ninety.

Walter Neff: Suppose you get down off your motorcycle and give me a ticket.

Phyllis: Suppose I let you off with a warning this time.

Walter Neff: Suppose it doesn't take.

Phyllis: Suppose I have to whack you over the knuckles.

Walter Neff: Suppose I bust out crying and put my head on your shoulder.

Phyllis: Suppose you try putting it on my husband's shoulder.

Walter Neff: That tears it.

I hadn't noticed this one.

Phyllis: Neff is the name, isn't it?

Walter Neff: Yeah. Two "F"s, like in Philadelphia, if you know the story.

Phyllis: What story?

Walter Neff: The Philadelphia Story.

Pearly, you forgot to dust the credenza again! If you want to go to the movies with Rastus I expect the house to be tiptop. Did you forget I'm hosting a benefit for that lovely Father Coughlin tonight?

Say, you ain't from around here, are you?

Slang sounds funnier when said by Ingrid Bergman Notorious.

I hate low, under-handed people like policemen, pussy-footing after you. Of course, I'm a marked woman, you know? I'm liable to blow up the Panama Canal any minute now.

You can add Sebastian's name to my list of playmates.

You double-crossing buzzard - you're a cop!

But I do, I RALLY RALLY DO. love you

I’ll WIPE THE FLOOR WITH YOU!

Let's not fight. Let's make love.

Hey bub, gotta light?

Listen, mac, I ain't got all day.

EX-try! EX-try! Read all about it! Chorus girl found dead in love nest! Millionaire playboy boyfriend on the lam!

You gotta telephone? You know, Alexander Graham?

How about lines from ancient gay pron, i.e. some classic Jeff Stryker dialogue:

"Suck that cock. Suck that big fucking cock"

.

Well buddy, are ya gonna just stand there lookin stupid or are ya gonna say somethin stupid too?

Gee, Betty, if you go to the dance with me I’d be the luckiest guy in the whole world!

Gosh, Wally, it’s swell of you to ask, but I have to wash my hair that night.

Keep tha change… ya filthy animal!

"Now see here! You can't just barge in here without an appointment and expect --"

Negroes.

"I don't know nuffin bout birthin no babies"

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!

I'm sure I don't know [italic]what[/italic] you're talking about. Now, if you'll excuse me --

The path you're on, mister, you're gonna end up in one of two places -- the Big House or the cemetery. You'd better straighten up and fly right, pronto!

"Shall we have a cigarette on it?

"Three on a match - that's bad luck."

Say! that hussy is hot to trot!

I've had just about enough outta you!

Taxi! TAXI! Follow that car! And step on it!

Here, have a drink. It'll steady your nerves.

Why, as I live and breathe, it's Sally Jones! It's been absolutely [italic]ages![/italic]

Your daughter's a tramp, mister!

Mama, face it! I was the slut of all time!

Pipe down, wouldja?

She’s a loose woman, kid. Sorry to tell ya.

All right, all right, I'm comin'. Keep your shirt on.

Oh, my dear, I assure you, you wouldn't be the first to try. But I'm afraid the Duke is a confirmed bachelor.

I have a sick headache.

Why is there a blonde hair in my sink?

She's a brazen hussy!

Interesting. There's a cigarette butt in that ashtray with a lipstick stain. And it's NOT my shade!

Say, what's the big idea?

Say! why don’t you make like a drummer a beat it, bub?

Hey kids, let's put on a show!

How rotten!

We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren’t developed… But we're going back again in a couple of weeks.

I'd like to kiss ya, but I just washed ma hair.

I guess I’m as the French say, “de trop,” too much.

Oh mother, really!

My mother! A common waitress!

Henry!

Coming, mother!!

Buck up, sister, and quit yer blubbin'.

Tell it to the Chief. You're comin' downtown with us.

Pipe the new fish!

Well, this is a fine how d'ya do!

Won't you come in?

Thought you'd play me for a sucker, is that it? Well, I'm wise to you!

Oh, lawsy! Laws a'mercy!

Now you listen, and listen good!

I think it needs a little more “oomph!”

Why do we have to live like this?

Do sit down. Would you care for some brandy?

Are my seams straight?

Gimme a cup o' java. Black.

Skip the sob story, sister. You gonna pay, or do I call a cop?

So you’re a fake, and I’m a phony. Big deal!

All of Philadelphia society will be in attendance.

[quote]Gee, Tommy, I had a swell time tonight.

Please, no curse words!

Haven't scrolled through the thread, but how about:

"Go chase yourself!"

The very idea!

Up your alley!

Go soak yer head

So's your old man!

Say, this looks like a real high-class joint!

I'll send for my things.

What’s all the hubbub, bub?

"Cigarette me, big boy."

"Stealing a man's wife, that's nothing, but stealing his car: that's larceny!"

Whaddaya know, whaddya say . . . Jimmy Cagney, in at least two films, one of which was likely "Angels with Dirty Faces".

"You know, it was one of them optical delusions" Leo Gorcey as Terence "Slip" Mahoney in "The Bowery Boys"

Ah, gimme a break.

Who knew that murder could smell like honeysuckle?

Take it on the heel and toe, sister!

Shut your whore mouth!

Gee Mr. Kent, that'll be swell!
