• Leo Silver : [reading from a newspaper]  "To the question, 'What were you doing naked in Central Park, in Bethesda Fountain, at 3 in the morning?' Swann replied, 'The back stroke.'" Now, is this your idea of watching him, Benji?

  Benjy Stone : The police are treating it like a parking ticket. It's no big deal.

  Sy : No big deal? We've got kids watching this show. We're talkin' generations to come, here! We're discussin' morals, here!

  Alice Miller : [for Herb]  You're not qualified to discuss morals, Sy.

  Sy : Up your hole with a Mello Roll, Alice! And yours too, Herb!

• King Kaiser : You look real nice today, Alice. Did you get those shoes I sent you?

  Alice Miller : Oh yeah.

  King Kaiser : Why did you send them back?

  Alice Miller : They were the wrong size. And they were used.

• Alice Miller : Sy Benson: a tower of Jell-O.

• Sy : Swann's never going to show up anyhow.

  Alice Miller : We'll find him, Sy.

  Benjy Stone : What happened?

  Alice Miller : He landed fine last night. That much we know.

  Benjy Stone : So where is he?

  Sy : Where else? Drinking and humping!

• Sy : Benjy, you want to see movies, get a job as an usher. The rest of us are here to write professional show-business comedy!

  Herb Lee : [whispers to Alice] 

  Alice Miller : [to Sy, for Herb]  In your case, semi-professional.
