Famous quotes containing the word king:
“Andrews: Do you mind if I ask a question frankly? Do you love my daughter?
Peter: Any guy thatd fall in love with your daughter ought to have his head examined.
Andrews: Now thats an evasion.
Peter: She grabbed herself a perfect running mate. King Westley! The pill of the century. What she needs is a guy thatd take a sock at her once a day, whether its coming to her or not.”
—Robert Riskin (18971955)
