Quotes 

• Stan : [Mrs Gilbert is hiding inside a trunk in Ollie's living room, and Stan tries to explain why everyone's acting nervous]  Well, y'see, he's got a girl in the trunk and he didn't want his wife to know.

  Oliver : [incensed]  What did you tell him that for?

  Stan : Well, he asked me.

  Mr. Gilbert : [delighted with Ollie's apparent infidelity]  While the wife's away the rats will play! What do you want to bring 'em into your own home for? Dat's ridiculous. Why don't you come with me some time. I know where there's a whole bunch of blondes! Say, listen, why do you think I go to Borneo all the time!

• Mr. Gilbert : If you keep cool, everything is all right. And I was cool. I had a chill in my back!

• Mr. Gilbert : And you can say in your newspaper that that is the largest boar ever bagged in India! It kept me two extra months away from the little lady.

• Mr. Gilbert : 'Course, I'm not like other hunters. I don't bring 'em back alive. I bring 'em back dead. *I* come back alive.
