• Maynard : What's the matter?

  Dolly Fletcher : Nothing. It's love in bloom.

  Maynard : Goodbye. I've watched it bloom before.

  Willy Grogan : Look, Dolly... this may seem funny to you but... the kid doesn't know about us.

  Dolly Fletcher : I gathered that much. I can even quote you. "Rose, this is Miss What's-her-name. She just happened to drop by this morning." Were you so scared, you couldn't even remember my name?

  Willy Grogan : Dolly...

  Dolly Fletcher : What is there to know about us anyway? Am I a lady barber or something? They've got sex in the Bronx, too, so what's the mystery?

  Willy Grogan : I'm only trying to tell you, she's only a baby... a protected baby.

  Dolly Fletcher : Oh come off it! Babies aren't built like that. And besides... if you're such a blue-nosed puritan about your sister... then - - just forget it.

  Willy Grogan : I just didn't know she was coming up here, understand? I-I-I just wasn't prepared.

  Dolly Fletcher : I know. You're not prepared for a lot of things. I'm beginning to get the idea.

• Max Lieberman : [at the Independence Day Picnic]  Plenty of food, men. Plenty of food. You think you've eaten lobster before, Maynard, just wait till you taste this. Well, Maynard?

  Maynard : [looking at his plate of lobster with little enthusiasm]  I ain't saying this lobster is for the birds, but I'd rather be eating my own corned beef.

  Father Higgins : Lobster? I think I'd like some of that, is it good?

  Maynard : Fine, Father.

  [Galahad starts to sing "I Got Lucky"] 

• Dolly Fletcher : [as Maynard carves up the corned beef]  You think I did all right?

  Maynard : You cooked this great. It cuts real fine!

  Willy Grogan : [as Willy and Lew walk in the kitchen arguing about Rose's whereabouts]  Let's get one thing settled, Lew. Exactly what time was it when you saw Rose leave the picnic?

  Lew Nyack : I told you before, 6:30, quarter to 7, 10 to 7 - I didn't make a note of it.

  Dolly Fletcher : [as Dolly and Lew munch on some of Maynard's corned beef]  What's all the commotion about? She was with Galahad, wasn't she?

  Willy Grogan : I know who she was with. And I'll tell you something else I know: It's 20 minutes to 9.

  Dolly Fletcher : Could she be safer with the F.B.I.?

  Willy Grogan : Which way were they going?

  Lew Nyack : I told you that before too, back towards the village.

  Willy Grogan : You sure?

  Lew Nyack : Man, how could anybody not recognize that jalopy? It's the same color as a bloody nose!

  Willy Grogan : Very funny. How would you like one?

  Dolly Fletcher : Little father!

• Maynard : He's carrying a torch for Dolly. Like life ain't worth a chopped chicken liver sandwich without her.

• Maynard : he merges with the flora and the fauna, whatever, just to get a chance to see her.
