Which character in "The Awful Truth" said...

So you think you are a fan of "The Awful Truth." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. Oh, I've heard everything. I'm going out to get some popcorn and pink lemonade. I've just seen a three-ring circus.

  2. [to Barbara] I've seen your pictures in the paper and I've wondered what you look like.

  3. (You) can't have a happy married life if you're always going to be suspicious of each other...No one's interested in my night's adventure except Jerry and he knows it's innocent, just as well as he knows that, well, that he just got back from Florida.

  4. [to Jerry, about Barbara] Tell her I'd love to meet her. Tell her to wear boxing gloves.

  5. I was working my head off at the Virginia Club but the minute he started doing better, you know what I mean, why he made me give up my job and, uhm, take a trip to London and Paris and uh, I think that was pretty swell, don't you?...it was a little act, kind of uh, well, it's a little hard to explain.

  6. [to Mrs. Vance, about Jerry] We call him Jerry the Nipper. He likes to sneak 'em when nobody's looking. So cute about it too. I've seen him go along a whole evening and apparently not have a thing to drink and all of a sudden fall flat on his puss.

  7. What in the world was Dad ever doing with a football?...Of course I remember. Pop loved Princeton. He was there nearly twenty years. If ever a man loved a place, he did - he just adored it. And he certainly kept it looking beautiful. You've seen the grounds, of course?

  8. [to Mrs. Leeson] Well, I guess a man's best friend is his mother. I certainly learned about women from you.

  9. [about Jerry] I'm convinced he must care about me or he wouldn't do the funny things he does.

  10. [on the phone] Now, now Lucy, don't do anything in haste that you might regret later. Marriage is a beautiful thing. [to his wife] Please be quiet, will you?...Please shut your mouth!...Will you shut your big mouth! I'll eat when I get good and ready and if you don't like it, you know what you can do, so shut up!

  11. [to Jerry, after Lucy answers his phone] Have you made up your mind who the woman is?

  12. I've gotta get a deep Florida tan if it takes all afternoon...All aboard for Miami, Palm Beach and points south.
