Mervin Q. Milgrim

[reading from radio script] The title of this story is---"The Midget Gets The Chair", or "Small Fry"!

Chick Larkin: [about Juliet Collins] She's only got a couple of buck teeth.

Mervin Q. Milgrim: Why do I care what she paid for them?

Customer: What happened to my strawberry sundae?

Mervin Q. Milgrim: What's today?

Customer: Friday.

Mervin Q. Milgrim: You've got two more days to wait.

Mervin Q. Milgrim: [nauseous] I gotta go back upstairs and get something...

Chick Larkin: What have you gotta get?

Mervin Q. Milgrim: My stomach...

Col. J.R. Andrews: Mr. Turner, may I remind you that I have a contract for your services, and I intend to exercise it.

Jimmy Turner: You'll get plenty of exercise trying to find me.

Wiseguy Kid Usher: Hey, do you know there's a couple of soda jerks around here playing detective?

Detective Brannigan: G'wan! Don't you know it's against the law to impersonate an officer?

Wiseguy Kid Usher: Well, then how do you get away with it?

Chick Larkin: If we solve this case, the public will be begging for "MUCK AND MIRE'.

Mervin Q. Milgrim: And if the murderer gets us, we'll do plenty of begging, too!

Mervin Q. Milgrim: Don't call me Blimp!

Detective Brannigan: Why not?

Mervin Q. Milgrim: What makes a blimp go up?

Detective Brannigan: Hot air.

Mervin Q. Milgrim: What's holding you down?

Mervin Q. Milgrim: I'm getting a lot of silly answers from this guy.

Chick Larkin: Well, grill him.

Mervin Q. Milgrim: What?

Chick Larkin: Grill him.

Mervin Q. Milgrim: I'm not hungry!
