• Ed Norton : [to Ralph]  Look, just don't get upset. You're gettin' all upset now. Let's calm down and look nice when we get down there. There's no sense in getting upset. Now listen, the boys in the sewer, there, when we get upset we got a little motto - a little saying that gives us a little comfort in time of need. Maybe, I can pass it on to you. May I favor you with this little ode? "When the tides of life turn against you, and the current upsets your boat. Don't waste those tears on what might have been, just lay on your back and float."

• [Alice and Trixie are wearing the exact same dress] 

  Ralph Kramden : Hey, don't those dresses look alike?

  Ed Norton : *Alike*? They're like the Bobbsey Twins!

• Martin, the reporter : Mr. Norton, tell me something. What kind of work do you do?

  Ed Norton : Well, I'm employed by the city.

  Martin, the reporter : I see. A white collar job?

  Ed Norton : No, you could say it's more of a wet collar job. I'm an underground engineer.

  Ralph Kramden : He works in the sewer!

  Ed Norton : That's a layman's way of putting it.

• Martin, the reporter : How long ago did you meet?

  Ed Norton : Oh, I'd say 150 pounds ago.
