The Mad Miss Manton

Movie The Mad Miss Manton
Year 1938
Lt. Mike Brent: Look, lady, it's been ten minutes since you called us. The murderer, that is if there is a murderer, could be in Brooklyn by now - that is, if anybody *wants* to be in in Brooklyn.
Melsa Manton: Helen, you search the upstairs.
Helen Frayne: Oh, no! I was never much of an individualist. If the upstairs has to be searched, we'll search it together.
Dora Fenton: Why, that's communism!
Dora Fenton: You know, psychiatrists say hate's just a step away from love.
Helen Frayne: Yeah, but it's the lull in between that drives you crazy.
Peter Ames: [to Melsa] You're up to your beautiful hips in murder!
Lt. Mike Brent: Miss Manton, I don't know what your game is but I know this - either your education or your spankin's been neglected. Now I can't do anything about spankin' ya, or can I?
