• Leo Powell : The world, my friends, as it is now constituted - stinks. To prove my point, I offer you the case of Barney and myself. On the one hand, a fine sensitive musician. An artist! On the other hand, a dubious individual named Barney. A throwback to the Stone Age. A stone in his head. A stone in his heart. A cross between a gorilla and a snake.

• Pete Bossett : How do you like this guy? I haven't seen him for three years and the first thing he thinks about is a measly five bucks. Why don't you ask me how I am? How I feel? What I've been doin'?

  Leo Powell : How are ya? How do you feel? What have you been doin'? Have you got the five bucks?

  Pete Bossett : No.

  Leo Powell : Have you got a job?

  Pete Bossett : No.

  Leo Powell : You want to go to work?

  Pete Bossett : I don't wanna; but, I have to.

• Leo Powell : I think that any dame that looks like her ought to flare up once in awhile. Gives her style, class, you know what I mean?
