Huntz Hall: Glimpy

Quotes 

• Glimpy : Hey, Mugs, why can't I sing in dat quartet? I used to sing in a quartet wit' six members. I can sing those fortissimos aloud too.

• Jack : [dejected, sitting on a coach next to Betty, in a quarantined room, surrounded by the East Side Kids]  What a honeymoon.

  Mugs : [to Glimpy]  Y'always gotta do everything the hard way. Everybody else gets plain, ordinary, common measles. So, you gotta go out and dig up German measles.

  [Glimpy's face is covered in Swastikas] 

  Glimpy : Who are you pickin' on me for? Did I know dem guys were Nazis?

• Mugs : You really think the place looks pretty nice, huh?

  Jack : Oh, it's fine, Mugs.

  Glimpy : Yeah. It could look better with some of them pictures on the wall, those, uh, paintings, those moralls.

  Mugs : Not moralls, morales!

  Jack : Look, uh, you guys mean, uh, murals?

  Mugs : Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's right. He threw me off, you know. He's dumb sometimes.

• Mugs : Well, can you picture dat? I must be havin' optical delusions.

  Lieutenant : What's the matter?

  Mugs : Well, there was a printin' press here ten minutes ago.

  Lieutenant : Ah, just got up and walked away, eh?

  Glimpy : Well, if ink can run, I guess a printing press can walk.

• Mugs : Wow, this is really nice! Lamps, drapes, books, everything. I wonder why he bought that old house next door instead of this one?

  Glimpy : I guess there wasn't enough room in the yard for a Victory Garden.

• Jack : Where's Betty?

  Glimpy : She's in her room seein' which window curtain looks best on her.

• Mugs : Why don't you use some diplomacy?

  Glimpy : I got my diploma. I graduated from school.

  Mugs : What did you graduate? Kindergarten?

  Glimpy : Oh, I skipped Kindergarten. I was too old.

• Mugs : Well, they ought to be here any minute.

  Glimpy : Who?

  Mugs : Oh, he's on first.

• Mugs : [to Jack]  We was decoratin' that house.

  Glimpy : Yeah, we thought it was yours.

  Mugs : We found a printin' press with a lot of Nazi propaganda.

  Glimpy : Yeah, we thought it was yours.

  Mugs : So, we moved it over here.

  Glimpy : Yeah, then we found out that was yours.

  Mugs : So, we moved it back again.

  Jack : Nazi propaganda?

  Mugs : Sure!

  Jack : So, that's why they didn't want us to come out here. Why didn't you call the police?

  Glimpy : We thought it was yours!

  Jack : Is there a phone next door?

  Mugs : Yeah, but that ain't yours.

• Glimpy : Are you sure you saw what you saw?

  Scruno : Sure, I'm sure.
