- David Nelson: Is it OK if I borrow your tie, Pop?
- [Ozzie responds tongue-in-cheek, seeing that Dave is already wearing the tie]
- Ozzie Nelson: Oh, I think it can be arranged.
- Harriet Nelson: What's the big occasion, Dave?... Don't tell me they're playing football in that this year.
- Ricky Nelson: He's gonna get a job.
- Harriet Nelson: A job?
- Ozzie Nelson: Job?
- David Nelson: [annoyed] What'd you have to open your big mouth for, Ricky.
- Ricky Nelson: It's much easier to talk that way.
- Harriet Nelson: For goodness sakes, Ricky, what are you doing?
- Ricky Nelson: I'm just packing a little lunch here, Mom.
- Harriet Nelson: A little lunch? You've got three sandwiches, two bananas, a jar of potato salad, and three pieces of cake.
- Ricky Nelson: I'm going to the show.
- Harriet Nelson: Well, I'm sure the manager of the theater won't appreciate a banquet going on while the picture is being shown.
- Ricky Nelson: It's OK, Mom. A lot of kids take sandwiches and stuff to the show.
- Harriet Nelson: Well, if you're sure it's all right.
- Ricky Nelson: Oh, sure. Everything but celery.
- [David comes to breakfast wearing a sport coat and tie]
- Ozzie Nelson: Hey, you look pretty sharp this morning.
- David Nelson: Oh, thanks, Pop.
- Harriet Nelson: Yes, you certainly do.
- Ricky Nelson: Yeah. Sharp as a meatball.
