- You never had a woman in any of your other pictures. Why do you want one in this?
- Holy mackerel! Do you think I want to haul a woman around?
- Because the public, bless 'em, must have a pretty face to look at.
- Sure. Everybody likes romance.
- Well, isn't there any romance or adventure in the world without having a flapper in it?
- Well, Mr. Denham, why not take a picture in a monastery?
- All right, the public wants a girl, and this time, I'm going to give them what they want.
- I don't know where you're gonna get her.
- I've got to get her, Weston.
- We've got to leave here on the morning tide. We've got to be gone by daylight.
- Why?
- Well, there's a good reason.
- Everything I hear about this thing makes me like it less.
- I'm glad I didn't get you a girl.
- You are, eh? Well, I'll show you.
