The Narrow Corner (film) Quotes

Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as Fred Blake

• (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) "I want life to be fair. I want life to be brave and honest. I'm not willing to stand by while the good are punished and the wicked go scott free. I want all men to be descent. Surely, that's not asking too much."

• (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) "Well, a fellow doesn't like to see his girl talking to another fellow with no clothes on, does he."
