JOURNALISTS – HOLLYWOOD STYLE

“His Girl Friday” starring Rosiland Russell and Cary Grant:

Hildy Johnson:  Now, get this, you double-crossing chimpanzee: There ain’t going to be any interview and there ain’t going to be any story. And that certified check of yours is leaving with me in twenty minutes. I wouldn’t cover the burning of Rome for you if they were just lighting it up. If I ever lay my two eyes on you again, I’m gonna walk right up to you and hammer on that monkeyed skull of yours ’til it rings like a Chinese gong!

      I think I liked that one — until the end where she is reduced to ruining breakfast and turning coffee into some kind of lava flow… But it ends with a redemptive “be your own woman” statement… so that’s okay ;D

        I know, when I was a little girl I always wondered why Eliza didn’t just go off with Freddy — besides, he could really sing, unlike Mr. Harrison.
