Rusty Parker : I suppose you've noticed that I'm *just* so full of animation and everything is just impossible for me to sit still a minute. My grandmother used to say it's because my *glands* weren't right.

Genius , Rusty Parker , Danny McGuire : [being served raw oysters] Come on, pearl!

Genius : Did you ever see a man that didn't?
-
Danny McGuire : This puts me in a grave spot, Chicken. If I'm sorry nothing came of it, I'm a liar. If I'm glad, I'm a heel. Where do we go from here?

Rusty Parker : Oh, how I hate oysters!
Genius : Ain't they repulsive?

Maurine Martin : Does - Danny know you came?
Rusty Parker : Well, I - didn't tell him, if that's what you mean.

Rusty Parker : I get so tired, Danny. This way it takes so long before you get anywhere. If you can get there quicker, why shouldn't you?
Danny McGuire : Look, Chicken, when you get there quick, you're out quick. Easy get, easy lose. I've never seen it fail. You gotta work for what you get. You're gonna be a great star, Rusty. But, you're gonna get there on your feet, not your face. Oh, Shortcut Susie!
Rusty Parker : Oh, Hardway McGuire!

Genius : How long since you left Harvard?
Joe : Neva heard of it. I beg you to be reasonable. How could an oyster give birth to a pearl?
Danny McGuire : How could an oyster give birth to an oyster?
Rusty Parker : Hey, that's something to think about.
Genius : You know what I say? They can live their lives and I'll live mine.
Danny McGuire : When? I want to see that.
Joe : I don't.
