-
Vivien Clements : Who was that?
Big Drag : He's a famous art dealer. He's been after my stuff for a long time. But, I won't sell. Big Drag is for the ages. Someday when I'm gone, some proud collector will say, "Look at this! It's a real Drag."
-
Vivien Clements : I know these kids. Those surfers are building strong, healthy bodies. And together with the boys who build the dragsters, they'll be responsible for tomorrow's rockets to the moon.
-
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : I have something I wish to show you.
Vivien Clements : I'm not so sure I want to see it.
-
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : The music of the youth of today is straight out of the jungle. It's savage music that stimulates their post-adolescent preoccupation with sex!
Vivien Clements : You sure love that three letter word.
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : These children are nothing more than - animals!
Vivien Clements : Oh, come on, Harvey. They're having fun. Fun - now that's a three letter word I bet you never heard of.
-
Vivien Clements : Let's join them.
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : I'm here strictly as an observer.
Vivien Clements : I have a feeling you've *always* been an observer.
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : Let's not be vulgar.
-
Vivien Clements : You're trying to buy up that beach property so you can expand your O.F.H.
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : And what is O.F.H.?
Vivien Clements : Old Folks Home.
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : It is not an Old Folks Home! It is Siesta-by-the-Sea.
Vivien Clements : You mean, Fee-esta. The fee is the only thing you're interested in.
-
Secretary : I'm sorry, Mr. Honeywagon, I told her you were tied up.
Vivien Clements : Tied up is too good for him! He should be locked up!
-
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : Have you quite finished?
Vivien Clements : I've finished! And don't ask me to leave. I'd rather that was my idea.
-
Vivien Clements : All they do is sit and vegetate. Honeywagon's Vegetable Farm - that's what you're running.
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : Now, that's really an insult. All I'm trying to do is help these poor people who've been forced into retirement.
Vivien Clements : You're helping them into their graves. Why don't you furnish shovels?
Harvey Huntington Honeywagon : I'm only doing what I think is proper and right.
Vivien Clements : Harvey Honeywell, you listen to me! You're holding a double barrel shotgun. Killing off the old folks, while you kill off the fun for the youngsters. I guess it never occurred to you that the beach is a place to live, not to die.
