- Elmer Purdy: Pete, you old sourpuss. How have things been going?
- Pete, the Canvasman: Pretty bad. But now it looks like things are gonna get worse.
- Big Tim Champion: I don't care what you do in your spare time, Elmer. But don't blow up the tent, set fire to anything and involve Corky in anything dangerous.
- Pete, the Canvasman: Knock it off Elmer. I got a lot of canvas for you to patch up.
- Corky: Pete never lets you get any work done.
- Elmer Purdy: Pete is a broken axle on the wheel of progress.
- Elmer Purdy: Oh Mr. Conway, keep in touch because someday I'm going to invent a picture that also speaks.
- Pete, the Canvasman: Now that's what I call a real crazy idea.
- Joey, the Clown: I wouldn't laugh, fellas. He might just do it.
