- Blanche Morton: I can't get over the fact that Ronnie's 21 now.
- Gracie Allen: Yeah, he's a man now, we'll have to treat him as one.
- Blanche Morton: Well, as I was telling Harry, Ronnie seems like the same sweet little boy he always was, but Harry disagrees.
- Gracie Allen: Oh?
- Blanche Morton: Yeah, Harry feels he's more mature, that any day now he'll be swept away by some pretty face and fly the coop.
- Gracie Allen: Oh, dear. I know how you feel, dear, but someday I expect Ronnie to do the same thing.
- Blanche Morton: What?
- Gracie Allen: Well, I wouldn't worry. If Harry gets tired of you, he could also get tired of a pretty face too!
- Blanche Morton: No, honey, you didn't understand - I meant Ronnie!
- Gracie Allen: Oh, Blanche! Why would Ronnie get tired of you? He isn't your husband! He's a friend, and he loves you just as all of us do!
- Gracie Allen: That's life. Time passes and the baby bird must leave its nest, the butterfly its cocoon and the little sardine its can, and all we mothers can do is stand by the shore and wave goodbye.
- George Burns: To the bird, the butterfly or the sardine?
- Gracie Allen: If I give him some silly prepared story, he'll be able to tell by the expression on my face that I'm lying. But if even I don't know what I'm gonna tell him, how can he possibly know I'm lying?
