- George Burns: I'm a pretty good businessman. A few years ago they wanted me to invest some money in a Broadway show, but I knew a western didn't have a chance on Broadway so I turned it down. They went right ahead and they did "Oklahoma" without me.
- Blanche Morton: Oh, I'm sorry, Harry.
- Harry Morton: Well you should be. You should be sorry, failing at a task that wouldn't tax the mentality of a maladjusted amoeba!

- Harry Morton: There's never a shortage of hamburger in this house, you serve it at least four times a week.
