Susan Turner(Shirley Temple): What man?
Richard Nugent: Man with the power.
Susan Turner: What power?
Richard Nugent: Power of hoodoo.
Susan Turner: Hoodoo?
Richard Nugent: You do.
Susan Turner: Do what?
Richard Nugent: Remind me of a man...

Sound familiar?

Myrna Loy was really great. I loved her in the Thin Man films.
