“Oh Godfrey, now I know you love me!”
“I do not love you and you’re going to get me all wet!”
“You do or you wouldn’t have lost your temper. Oh, Mother - Godfrey loves me! He put me in the shower!”

Blooper reels are rarely available for films that are over 70 yrs old, but luckily that’s not the case for My Man Godfrey (1936).

Carole Lombard was famous for having the mouth of a sailor and she admirably lives up to that reputation in this outtake reel for My Man Godfrey.
