Quotes 

• Gracie Allen : Isn't it a lovely day? I'm glad we're having lunch out in the garden.

  George Burns : Yeah, it was a good idea.

  Gracie Allen : Yes! Isn't the air wonderful?

  George Burns : Yeah, and I notice that we get more of it outdoors than we do indoors.

  Gracie Allen : Yeah, you know, and it's surprising because we've got more windows indoors.
