It Happened One Night Quote

[Peter is carrying Ellie across the creek slung over his shoulder]

Ellie: You know this is the first time in years I've ridden piggy-back.

Peter Warne: This isn't piggy-back.

Ellie: Course it is.

Peter Warne: You're crazy.

Ellie: I remember distinctly my father taking me for a piggy-back ride.

Peter Warne: And he carried you like this, I suppose?

Ellie: Yes.

Peter Warne: Your father didn't know beans about piggy-back riding.

Ellie: My uncle, mother's brother, has four children and I've seen them ride piggy-back.

Peter Warne: I'll bet there isn't a good piggy-back rider in your whole family. I never knew a rich man yet who could piggy-back ride.

Ellie: You're prejudiced.

Peter Warne: You show me a good piggy-backer and I'll show you a real human. Now you take Abraham Lincoln for instance. A natural born piggy-backer. Where do you get all of that stuffed-shirt family of yours?

Ellie: My father was a great piggy-backer.
[Peter slaps her behind for that remark]
