[edit]- Stan: How'd you know I was here?
- Oliver: I saw your picture in the paper!
- Stan: Did you?
- Oliver: Yeah!
- Stan: How'd I look?
- Oliver: Well, you haven't changed a bit!
- Stan: Huh! Neither've you, too. You know, if I hadn't of seen ya, I never would've known ya.
- Oliver: Lulu, I haven't seen you in ages. You remember Stan, don't you?
- Lulu: How could I ever forget him.
- Oliver: I just met him today. You know, I haven't seen him in 20 years.
- Stan: No, you see, everybody thought I was dead. Didn't they?
- Oliver: Umm-hmm.
- Lulu: How did you find out you weren't?
- Stan: Well, I figured that - well, I saw my picture in the paper.
- Stan: What's a knick-knack?
- Oliver: Oh a knick-knack is a thing that sits on top of a whatnot.
- Stan: You remember how dumb I used to be?
- Oliver: Yeah?
- Stan: Well, I'm better now.
- Stan: Do you think your wife would mind if I smoked my pipe?
- Oliver: Of course not. What's all right with me is okay with her.
- Stan: I know, but a lot of dames are particular.
- Oliver: Well yes, but... What do you mean calling my wife a dame?
- Oliver: Why didn't you tell me you had two legs?
- Stan: Well, you didn't ask me! I've always had 'em...
- Oliver: [sarcastically] You're better now...
- Oliver: Who do you think you're talking to?
- Finn: I'm talking to you! You big, overstuffed pollywog!
- Oliver: You smile when you call me that.
- ...
- Finn: Apologize? Ha! For what?
- Oliver: For calling me an overstuffed pollywog! No man living can call me an overstuffed pollywog and get away with it!
- James: All right, all right. You're NOT an overstuffed polliwog.
- Oliver: Well, that's better.
- Finn: You're an inflated blimp!
- Oliver: That's different!
