• Dr. Brown : I asked you to come here and take care of my possessions while I'm gone, not destroy them.

  Ned Brown : Don't worry. Don't worry about anything. When you come back here, you'll find everything just as as is - if not, more so.

  Dr. Brown : But, it's a big responsibility you've got, Ned, and I want you to realize it.

  Ned Brown : Now, don't be a boy. Don't be a boy! Remember, we are here today, yes sir, we are here today and tomorrow - tomorrow we're in Brooklyn. Forget all about this place. Go out there and get a load of those dames - with the shredded wheat and the big ukuleles. And you'll come back here with that school girl complexion, where no metal can touch you. Everything's going to be Jake! Signed and sealed.

• Ned Brown : How do you do? How do you do? How do you don't? Well, there's plenty more where she came from.

• Ned Brown : How do you do? Pardon me, haven't I seen your shape somewhere? I mean, your face, somewhere before? Yes, I have, don't go girlie. I remember you. Glad to see you again. How have you been? How would you like to park the torso right in there and you and I would go around the world, cutting a couple of figure eights on the highway of life, huh? Oh, don't be that way, baby. Lift the weight right off those fallen arches. Come. Follow Papa. The car's all paid for.

• Ned Brown : Hello, Sarge. How do you do?

  Officer Hendricks : Hello, Doctor.

  Ned Brown : Press the flesh.

  Officer Hendricks : Nice day, isn't it? Nice day.

  Ned Brown : Aw, beautiful day. Beautiful day. If you like weather, here it is.

• Ned Brown : Open the mouth a little - up - a little further - a little higher. Those wide open spaces! Aren't they wonderful! A little higher. That's just fine. I thought so! Her tongue is perspiring! You must keep away from raw meat!

• Officer Hendricks : Personally, I think it's her lungs. What about her breathing?

  Ned Brown : We'll stop that in a minute!
