Quotes 

  • Carpenter Foreman : On them second floor lintels between the lally columns, do you want we should rabbet them or not?

    [Long pause as Jim and Muriel look at him with puzzled frowns on their faces] 

    Jim Blandings : The, uh, second floor lallies?

    Carpenter Foreman : Second floor lintels between the lallies.

    Jim Blandings : Oh, the lintels between the lallies?

    Carpenter Foreman : Yeah, from the blueprints you can't tell. You want they should be rabbeted?

    Jim Blandings : No, no. I guess not.

    Carpenter Foreman : Okay. You're the doctor.

    [He calls out to his workers] 

    Carpenter Foreman : Hey fellas. If you got any of them rabbeted lintels set, rip 'em out.

    [Sound of nails being pried out, and scene of pieces of wood dropping onto the floor around Jim and Muriel] 

    Jim Blandings : It sounded less expensive to say, No!
