The Amazing Mr. Williams (1939)
Sarah Edwards: Citizens Committee Woman
Quotes
-
Police Captain McGovern : I've been thinking of sending one of our men out on the streets at night, eh, as a decoy, dressed as a woman.
Citizens Committee Woman : That's the first sensible plan I've heard.
Citizens Committee Man : Why hasn't this suggestion been offered before?
Police Captain McGovern : The difficulty is in finding a good man willing to undertake the job. Most of my fellas would resign before they'd parade the streets in woman's clothes.
Citizens Committee Woman : Humph. I can't see why?
Police Captain McGovern : For some reason madame, men still prefer to dress as men. You could hardly expect the average man to, eh, take the ridicule and the humiliation he'd be put through.
