Quotes 

• Gerald : Does Polly want a cracker?

  Caesar (voice) : Polly wants a drink, let's get loaded.*hiccup*

  Gerald : He says the darnest things, doesn't he?

  Caesar (voice) : How about a short one, how about a short one?

  Beauregard Bottomley : [to Caesar]  You've had your quota for the day. As I told you before, Gerald, neither I nor my sister taught him these expressions. His former master must have been the greatest reprobate since the emperor Nero.

  Gwenn Bottomley : We found him one night leaning up against a lamppost. He couldn't remember where he lived.

  Beauregard Bottomley : He still can't.

  Gwenn Bottomley : Now we have him down to two drinks a day... soon we'll have him down to no drinks a day.

  Caesar (voice) : SQUAWK.

  Beauregard Bottomley : Now you have frightened him. Caesar, Caesar...

  Caesar (voice) : CHAMPAGNE.

  Beauregard Bottomley : No, no, sorry, you must rough it for a while.

• Happy Hogan : Is there something special about me that you dislike or do you hate me for myself alone?

  Beauregard Bottomley : Oh, I don't hate you Mr. Hogan.

  Gwenn Bottomley : He merely thinks you are the forerunner of intellectual destruction in America.

  Beauregard Bottomley : Yes, nothing personal.

• [Happy Hogan leaves coldly when Gwenn is flirting with him] 

  Beauregard Bottomley : You'll never be more spotless, Gwenn. You've been sutterly brushed off.

  Gwenn Bottomley : I think he's quite amusing. Did you notice his wonderful smile?

  Beauregard Bottomley : Did I? I feel I know personally each one of his teeth.

• Gwenn Bottomley : You know my brother thinks you're seeing me in order to get some information about him. I think so too.

  Happy Hogan : In other words, I'm a heel?

  Gwenn Bottomley : Not in other words. Same words.

• Happy Hogan : Hi!

  Beauregard Bottomley : Mr Hogan, you are most unwelcome here.

  Gwenn Bottomley : He's taking lessons.

  Beauregard Bottomley : My dear Happy Hogan, at the last count there was ten thousand, four hundred and eighty-two piano teachers in greater Los Angeles. Your appearance here suggests an ulterior design.

  Gwenn Bottomley : But I think he's really interested in the piano and I'd like us to continue what we started... with the piano.
