Funny movie quotes from Our Wife – a very funny Laurel and Hardy short film, where Stan Laurel “helps” Oliver Hardy elope. Over his future father-in-law’s objection!
Ollie: Goodbye, Ducky Lover.
Dulcy: Goodbye, Dimple Dumpling.
Ollie: Goodbye.
Stan: [on the phone in the other room, having listened in] GOODBYE!
Ollie: Don’t you understand? We’re going to elope. Nobody must know about it. It’s strictly on the qui vive.
Stan: [confused] Qui vive?
Ollie: Certainly. Null… and void. Do you understand?
Father of the Bride (James Finlayson): Who is the lucky boy?
Dulcy: [giddily hands him a photograph] There.
Father of the Bride: [Beaming] Daughter, this is the proudest moment of my life! [Looks at photo of Ollie for the first time, does several double-takes] D’OH!
Dulcy: But Dad…
Father of the Bride: No! Emphatically no! A thousand times no! Young lady, you will remain in this room under lock and key until you come to your senses!
Stan: I’d like to see Mr. Hardy.
Finlayson’s Butler: Hardy?
Stan: Yeah, he’s going to elope with Dulcy.
Ollie: [hears him from behind a bush] Ohhhhhhhhh!
Finlayson’s Butler: Elope? [slams the door] Elope!
Ollie: What are you trying to do now?
Ollie: Ahhhhhhh!!
Stan: What’s the matter?
Ollie: I’m on fire! Do something to help me!
