• Mrs. Hardy : Don't lie to me, you big lunk!

  Oliver : Don't you call me a lunk.

• Mrs. Hardy : Now you've done it, you big sap!

  Oliver : Who's a sap? Don't call me a sap.

• [first lines] 

  Oliver : Darling, isn't it wonderful to be alone?

  Mrs. Hardy : Oh, it certainly is, honey. And what a relief not to be bothered with those Laurels tonight.

  Oliver : Now we can have a nice quiet evening. Nothing to mar our happiness.

  Mrs. Hardy : Oh, Poppa!

  [the Laurels ring the doorbell] 

• Mrs. Hardy : Get up from there, you big chump!

  Oliver : Don't you call me...

  Mrs. Hardy : Don't argue with me! Go get that ice cream.

• Mrs. Hardy : What are you doing?

  Oliver : Just playing.

  Mrs. Hardy : I believe you're going cuckoo! Just because you have the mind of a four year old child, you don't need to display it. Remember, we have company. Come, Mrs. Laurel.

• Stanley : So then her husband came in and shot the travelling salesman.

  Mrs. Hardy : [angrily]  Why you!

  [She attempts to slap Stanley in the face but misses and hits Oliver who has entered the door from behind him] 

  Stanley : I must have told the wrong story.
