- Nora Dugan: You'll keep monkeying with that gun until you've blown out what few brains you have left.
- Beverly: Would you mind showing me to my room, Nora?
- Nora Dugan: Oh, yes, it's right over here, Mrs. Beckwith. And there's everything in it that you want; powder for your nose and everything - not that your nose needs any powder.
- Alan Beckwith: We're going to live under the same roof for a year. My only hope was to keep us from being as unpleasant as possible.
- Beverly: Oh, how could it be anything but unpleasant?
- Squint Dugan: What's the matter? Didn't your wife like them roses?
- Alan Beckwith: No, I changed my mind. Take 'em home to your girl.
- Squint Dugan: My girl, nuttin', I'll give 'em to me wife. The shock will probably kill her.
- Alan Beckwith: Every time I step out of the house you start doggin' it after me. I'm beginning to get a little annoyed.
- Squint Dugan: You're annoyed? You should have my bunions.
- Alan Beckwith: What's going on here?
- Andrew North: I was just satisfying your wife's curiosity -- as to why you married her.
- Policeman: [sees Squint outside the barber shop, waiting for Alan] You've been hangin' around here long enough.
- Squint Dugan: It's a public place, ain't it? Well, I'm one of the public, ain't I?
- Policeman: We got another public place with *bars* on the windows.
- [pokes Squint with his finger]
- Squint Dugan: Yeahhh... I seen the rest of your family hangin' from dem bars with their tails yesterday.
- [walks away with Alan]
