Dialogue
[edit]- Oliver: Well, looks like we're in it. Gee, I wish I could go.
- Stan: Go where?
- Oliver: Why to war!
- Stan: Why can't ya go?
- Oliver: There you are, I knew you'd take that selfish attitude. I'd go in a minute if it wasn't for my flat feet.
- Recruiting Sergeant: How about gettin' in one of these uniforms?
- Oliver: I'm awfully sorry; but, we're incapacitated.
- Recruiting Sergeant: Incapacitated?
- Stan: Yes, sir. There's been a lot of it going around lately.
- Oliver: [on KP Duty] Say, what are we supposed to do with this stuff?
- George Marshall: Are you kidding me? What do you think you do with it? Take it to the General!
- Stan: Now what do you suppose the General wants with this?
- Oliver: There you go asking questions again! When will you learn to follow Army curriculum? OBEY ORDERS, WITH DISCIPLINE! If the General wants it, he can have it!
- Charles Middleton: I'll swear out a warrant for your arrest! And I'll have that child in the orphanage tonight!
- Oliver: How much will you charge me to haunt a house?
- Oliver: Why didn't you tell me it was you?
- Stan: It was so dark, I didn't think you would hear me.
- Bank President: What is your business?
- Oliver: We're in the restaurant business.
- Bank President: Here in town?
- Oliver: Oh, all over town. Here, there and thither.
- Bank President: Chain business?
- Stan: No, restaurant.
- Stan: Now what are we gonna do?
- Oliver: All we've got to do is find Mr. Smith.
- Stan: You don't know where they live.

- Oliver: Pardon me, Officer. Would you happen to tell us where Mr. Smith lives?
- Policeman: Smith?
- Oliver: Yes, sir.
- Policeman: Smith. Smith. Let me think. What Smith?
- Stan: It's Eddie's father.
- Policeman: Eddie who?

- Policeman: Why the father of this child. That's who you're looking for, isn't it?
- Oliver: Ah no, sir.
- Policeman: No?
- Oliver: The man we're looking for is the father of the father of this child.
- Policeman: Oh, now I understand you. It's the grandfather that's lost.
- Oliver: Yes. Oh, no sir. He's not lost.
- Policeman: No? Well, then what are you looking for him for?
- Stan: We're not looking for him. We just tryin' to find him.
- Oliver: Wasting your time like that! While I'm here slaving all day. Why don't you do something to help me?
- Stan: Well, what can I do?

- Mr. Smith: [pointing out the window to the lunch wagon] And is that part of your business?
- Oliver: Part of it? Why, that's all *of it.
- Mr. Smith: [laughs uproariously] To lend you money on that, I'd have to be unconscious!
