• Inmates : [singing]  You gotta get up, you gotta get up, you're in the army now!

  Jimmy Haskell : Johnny plays the bugle, he knows the calls from A to Z. But he's always at his best when blowing reveille.

  Inmates : So Johnny blows and blows...

  Jimmy Haskell : He toot-a-lee-toots you into your clothes.

  Inmates : And makes you rue the day that you were born. There's nothing any one can do. The captain has to make it too! So you gotta get up, you gotta get up!

• Jasper : Well, it didn't take you long to undermine me with your uncle, did it?

  Jimmy Haskell : Hmm, mmm.

  Jasper : How do I know you didn't write that yourself?

• Jasper : You know very well that I have charge of the Happiness Hour during Mr. Haskell's absence. He trusts me implicitly.

  Jimmy Haskell : Well, not a hundred percent.

  Jasper : I beg your pardon.

• Charles 'C.J.' Haskell : And I told him when he opened this place, he'd never make a go of it.

  Jimmy Haskell : Well, he kept it fairly successful for 25 years. That's not bad.

• Charles 'C.J.' Haskell : That's a good idea for my radio program, tomorrow night. You've heard my Happiness Hour, of course?

  Jimmy Haskell : Oh, yes. Everybody's heard that - once.

  Charles 'C.J.' Haskell : Listen to this: The clouds that make the day so gray, Will sooner or later pass away; there's always a pot o' gold a the end of the rainbow. Good old home spun philosophy.

  Jimmy Haskell : Oh, no. It's all right. This has been fun here.

  Jimmy Haskell : Oh, well, just another country boy got mixed up with a lot of evil companions.

• Jimmy Haskell : [reading the Happiness Hour radio script]  The pansies... the pansies and lilies and primrose so fickle, They're ours to enjoy without spending a nickel.

• Charles 'C.J.' Haskell : They're in the phones now! Listen to that!

  Charles 'C.J.' Haskell : String cor-tet? That's bugles!

  Horace Heidt : [writing down a medical report]  Hears bugles in phone.

• Molly McCorkle : On your feet, big boy! If you think the McCorkles are going to let any Haskell fight their battles for them, you're cuckoo!

  Jimmy Haskell : Now, if you think the Haskells are going to let the McCorkles kick them around, you're cuckoo too.
