• Norman Taylor : Gee, Mr. Dignan, you're awful nice.

  Francis X. Dignan : It comes and goes...

• Joe Wickes : Say, how'd you finish the episode?

  Francis X. Dignan : Snips kicks Runty, robs a liquor store, shoves his grandmother down the stairs, sets fire to the orphanage and shoots himself in the head. He's been under a strain.

• Norman Taylor : Why did you split up? Did she fall in love with someone else?

  Francis X. Dignan : Yeah, it was a triangle - Her, me and the man I might've been.

• Francis X. Dignan : When I was thirteen I had typhoid fever. When I got over it, I was bald for a while. Pink and shiny and bald. Everybody laughed at me. And I had a hassle with a kid whose old man was my old man's boss. He called me "Erich von Stroheim" for the third time and I let him have it.
