Raymond Walburn: Walter

Quotes 

• Longfellow Deeds : Hand me my pants. I wrote her phone number on a piece of paper.

  Walter : You have no pants, sir. You came home last night without them.

  Longfellow Deeds : I did what?

  Walter : As a matter of fact, you came home without any clothes at all. You were in your shorts. Yes, sir.

  Longfellow Deeds : Don't be silly, Walter. I couldn't walk around on the streets without any clothes. I'd be arrested.

  Walter : That's what the two policemen said, sir.

  Longfellow Deeds : What two policemen?

  Walter : The ones who brought you home, sir. They said you and another gentleman kept walking up and down the street shouting "back to nature! Clothes are a blight on civilization! Back to nature!"

• Longfellow Deeds : He talks about women as if they were cattle.

  Walter : Every man to his taste, sir.

  Longfellow Deeds : Tell me, Walter, are all these stories I hear about my uncle true?

  Walter : Well, sir, he sometimes had as many as twenty in the house at the same time.

  Longfellow Deeds : Twenty! What did he do with them?

  Walter : That is something I was never able to find out, sir.

• Walter : If you permit me to say so, sir, you were out on quite a bender last night, sir.

  Longfellow Deeds : Bender? You're wrong, Walter. We were out to a binge but we never got to it.
