"Your own son almost murdered in cold blood."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Well, the way I figure, it's a fine tribute to Georgie's acting."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"The way he plays the part, every kid will want to take a punch..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...at Peck's bad boy just to see what happens."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"What?! Have I got to go through that every night?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Yes. And matinees Wednesdays and Saturdays."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Georgie, those boys did you a great favor..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...and they saved me a lot of trouble."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"You know, most actors give their whole lives to their profession, not once scoring a hit."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"You're lucky. You're a hit at the age of 13."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"I've been in this business a long time and never met a performer..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...who, in the long run, wouldn't rather be a great guy than a great actor."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"That is, until I made your acquaintance."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Can't I be both?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Chances are, the way you're going, you won't be either."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"If the hoodlums don't get you, a committee of actors will."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Actors are considered a very bad risk by insurance companies."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"And any actor with a conceit like yours..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...well, we just couldn't afford the premium."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"What your father really means is you're too sensitive."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"You're too anxious to make good."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"You love the theater too much."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Oh, I know you can improve, if you want to."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Sure, I can. Just watch me."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"From now on I'm Peck's bad boy only from 8:30 till 11 in the evening."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- That's a boy, Georgie. - I promise, Mother."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"And don't forget Wednesdays and Saturdays, 2:30 till 5."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Yes, sir! And the other 21 and a half hours, I pattern myself after dad."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Heh-heh. Well, you could find a better example..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...but that's the general idea."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Jerry, what do you know. Ed Albee's coming backstage to see you."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Albee. - That's B.F. Keys' partner!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"He's big-time vaudeville. We're in the big time."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"He didn't send for us. He's come here to see us."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Maybe it'd be better if I spoke business to him."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Georgie, I thought you said you were going to reform."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"I'm sorry."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"When he comes in here, I want you to keep quiet."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Look at the condition of this room."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Josie, get the cheap makeup off the table."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Hurry up!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Quick, Georgie!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Get the stuff off that shelf there. That's right."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Hey, Albee'll be right in."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"He just stopped at the water cooler."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Jerry, if he offers you a cigar, don't take it."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"I'll take it. That'll impress him if he thinks I can smoke."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"You get behind that curtain. Hurry up!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"I don't want to hear a word out of you. I don't even want to hear you breathe."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Josie, fix the chairs. The other one."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Here, take this. Oh, Jerry."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Sit down, Nellie. Sit down. - All right."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Come in."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Mr. E.F. Albee."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Hello, Cohan. - Mr. Albee."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Meet Mrs. Cohan. - How do you do?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- How do you do? - Sit down."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Thank you."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"I saw your show tonight. Not bad."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Have a cigar?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Uh, no, thanks."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Your show is no good for vaudeville..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...but I've seen a lot worse right here in Brooklyn."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"We're opening a new theater in Philadelphia..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...the Bijou, on the Fourth of July."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"If you can fix up a good vaudeville act, we'll double your present salary..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...give you 10 weeks' guarantee, and third or fourth billing."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Double our salary? - You'll be with the best in the country."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Vesta Victoria, Eddie Foy, Warren Volk, Charlie Case..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Just a second."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"I'm George M. Cohan."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"You're opening a theater in Philadelphia on July 4th?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Yes, that's right. - That's my birthday."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Heh. Well, that isn't why we're opening the theater."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"The salary's all right, but how have you got the nerve..."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"...to offer us third or fourth billing after my performance tonight?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Is this kid in your show?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Am I in the show?!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Who do you think was Peck's bad boy?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Oh, I beg your pardon. I didn't quite recognize you."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"You didn't? Then maybe you're not the showman you're cracked up to be."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"George!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Well, now, maybe I'm not."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Maybe you're not quite ready for the big time yet."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Mrs. Cohan. Mr. Cohan. Good night."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Good night. - Uh, Mr. Albee."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- How do you do, Mr. Albee? - Good evening."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Call you a carriage? - If you will."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Carriage for Mr. Albee!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"See what happens because you wouldn't lay a hand on him all these years?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"A mother isn't supposed to punish. She just gives her permission."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Have I your permission?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- You certainly have. - Ahem."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Don't you ought to get my permission too, Dad?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Not the hand! He plays the violin."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"All right, not on the hand."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Not on the mouth! He has to sing."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"All right, not on the mouth. Come here."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Here's one place without any talent!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Ow! Ow! Ow!"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"- Who were Lewis and Clark, George? - Acrobats?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Look at this swell write-up we got in the clipper."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"You'd find us wherever new states sprouted on the prairie."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"We played every town in America that had a theater."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Any mail for Mr. Cohan?"
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"No. Your father picked up his mail."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"I mean, for Mr. George M. Cohan."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"The next 10 years rushed by like a circus train."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Dad seemed content with the sticks, but I was straining at the leash."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Here's your mail, Mr. Cohan."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Oh, thanks. A couple of tickets for the show."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"We played stock in Buffalo."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Being versatile, I was playing my mother's father."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Oh, Daddy, he has left me."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"All is for the best, my daughter."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"In life, we trip, but right ourselves."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"I was correct about man's love."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"First, he considers his pleasure or his honor or his purse."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"And only secondly does he think of the woman he says he loves."
Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Now I must go life's journey alone..."
