It Happened One Night Quote

[ Peter is carrying Ellie across the creek slung over his shoulder ]
Ellie Andrews : You know this is the first time in years I've ridden piggy-back.
Peter Warne : This isn't piggy-back.
Ellie Andrews : Course it is.
Peter Warne : You're crazy.
Ellie Andrews : I remember distinctly my father taking me for a piggy-back ride.
Peter Warne : And he carried you like this, I suppose?
Ellie Andrews : Yes.
Peter Warne : Your father didn't know beans about piggy-back riding.
Ellie Andrews : 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 Andrews : 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 Andrews : My father was a great piggy-backer.
Peter Warne : Here, hold this. [ Peter hands to Ellie the case he was carrying and slaps her behind for that remark ]
