Charles Butterworth: Ludwig Pfeffer Jr.

Quotes 

• Reporter at Airport : How did you find the American women?

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : I took a taxi cab.

• Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : [upon walking in on Baron Josef and Susie in a tight embrace]  Hmmm. Looks like another merger to me.

• Baron Josef von Ullrich : Well, Ludwig, how do you flying?

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : Oh, I don't think it'll ever take the place of the horse and buggy.

• Baron Josef von Ullrich : Well, Ludwig, we'll be there in no time. I tell you, the airplane is the greatest invention of the age!

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : Yes, excellency, but I still prefer the bicycle.

• Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : The Baron's other secretaries were fast too. But, not around the office.

• Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : Oh, Chappel, how do you get to 32 Rue Blondel?

  Chappel : That's a very disreputable neighborhood!

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : It is? Hmm, how do you get there?

• Ludwig's Girl : Oh, shall we dance?

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : Certainly. You don't think I came here just for pleasure.

• Baron Josef von Ullrich : [while in Paris]  And Ludwig, I'm feeling in the humor for a little diversion.

  [with a knowing look] 

  Baron Josef von Ullrich : If I'm not here for breakfast in the morning, don't be alarmed.

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : If anyone calls, I'll say you're doing some research work.

  Baron Josef von Ullrich : Yes.

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : Anything else, sir?

  Baron Josef von Ullrich : Go out and enjoy yourself. Dance, have a good time, and charge it to me.

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : Quite so, excellency.

  Baron Josef von Ullrich : And what will you do?

  Ludwig Pfeffer Jr. : Probably a little research work.
