    The Fall of the Wall of Jericho

    The reason why this film is regarded as a classic is not only for a story of love between men and women, but also because there are many original plots and lines in the film, many of which have become plagiarized by later generations: the chorus of the bus, Hitchhiking, dividing sheets, escaping...

    classic forever

It Happened One Night quotes

  • [Peter is carrying Ellie across the creek slung over his shoulder]

    Ellie Andrews: You know this is the first time in years I've ridden piggy-back.

    Peter Warne: This isn't piggy-back.

    Ellie Andrews: Course it is.

    Peter Warne: You're crazy.

    Ellie Andrews: I remember distinctly my father taking me for a piggy-back ride.

    Peter Warne: And he carried you like this, I suppose?

    Ellie Andrews: Yes.

    Peter Warne: Your father didn't know beans about piggy-back riding.

    Ellie Andrews: My uncle, mother's brother, has four children and I've seen them ride piggy-back.

    Peter Warne: I'll bet there isn't a good piggy-back rider in your whole family. I never knew a rich man yet who could piggy-back ride.

    Ellie Andrews: You're prejudiced.

    Peter Warne: You show me a good piggy-backer and I'll show you a real human. Now you take Abraham Lincoln for instance. A natural born piggy-backer. Where do you get all of that stuffed-shirt family of yours?

    Ellie Andrews: My father was a great piggy-backer.

    Peter Warne: Here, hold this.

    [Peter hands to Ellie the case he was carrying and slaps her behind for that remark]

  • [Peter makes a couple of "beds" from hay off of a haystack]

    Peter Warne: All right, come on. Your bed's all ready.

    Ellie Andrews: I'll get my clothes all wrinkled.

    Peter Warne: Well, then take 'em off.

    Ellie Andrews: What?

    Peter Warne: All right, don't take 'em off. Do whatever you please, but shut up about it!
