Memorable quotes for
I'm All Right Jack (1959)

advertisement
Windrush: [in induction program, Detto detergent factory] My aunt used Detto and she came out in an appalling rash.
Detto executive: Is that so? And I'll have you know my wife has always washed our baby's napkins in Detto and neither has shown the sign of a spot since birth.
Windrush: Of course, my aunt's rash was on her elbow.

Detto executive: With an attitude like that I not only see no future for you, but no future for us. You'd better go Mr Windrush. You are not the detergent type.

Kite: My daughter, Cynthia. She works 'ere in the factory. Spindle polishing.
Windrush: Oh, really? Perhaps I will take the room, Mr Kite.

Cynthia: [works canteen meeting - bored expression] What's 'e talkin' about, then?
Stanley: Commercial intercourse with foreigners.
Cynthia: [eyes light up - chews gum faster]

Fred Kite: Ahhh, Russia. All them corn fields and ballet in the evening.

Shop Steward: You c-c-c-clot!

Shop Steward: Hasn't started yet? Then what's he doing on a f-f-f fork lift truck?

Mrs. Kite: [talking about their daughter Cynthia] She just wants a bit of fun.
Fred Kite: Yes, and she makes sure she gets it.

Minister of Labour: [to the press out side Number 10 Downing Street] I see great principles at stake here. As Minister of Labour you can be sure that I will act. You shall also be sure that I will not interfere... That is with those great principles I deem to be at stake...

Fred Kite: We do not and cannot accept the principle that incompetence justifies dismissal. That is victimisation.

Windrush: Wherever you look it's a case of "Blow you, Jack, I'm all right.

Waters: The natural rhythm of the British worker is neither natural, rhythmic, or much to do with work.
Major Hitchcock: We've got chaps here who could break out in a muck sweat simply by standing still.

Fred Kite: I see from your particulars you was at college in Oxford. I was up there meself. I was at the Balliol summer school in 1946. Very good toast and preserves they give you at tea time, as you probably know.
