Dialogue

 * Hobson: [Arthur is conversing with the ghost of Hobson] Arthur, I've seen your son.
 * Arthur: [inebriated, looks stricken] Oh!
 * Hobson: I've told him all about you. But he still wants to meet you very much.
 * Arthur: Ah, old man, you're not playing fair!


 * Susan: Weren't we happy, Arthur?
 * Arthur: Of course. Then we meet.


 * Arthur: What can I do, Hobson? I mean what would you do if you were me?
 * Hobson: The word "bathe" comes to mind.


 * Arthur: Yesterday, I sold some blood at a hospital.
 * Hobson: Hospital? I should've thought a local distillery would have paid you much more.


 * Bitterman: Mr. Bach?
 * Athur: Bitterman! How the hell are you?
 * Bitterman: Sir, what are you doing here?
 * Arthur: They said I'd never make it Bitterman, they said the city would eat me alive. But not look at me, I got my own pail and my own squeegee, I showed them ALL!
 * Martha Bach: Arthur?
 * Arthur: Martha!
 * Martha Bach: Arthur, what are you doing?
 * Arthur: Well, I was...
 * Martha Bach: Are you going to marry Susan Johnson or not?
 * Arthur: I already told you Martha, I can't!
 * Martha Bach: Enough is enough, Arthur. Marry the bitch!
 * Arthur: You marry her, Martha!


 * Arthur: Where's Mrs. Bach? Is she...
 * Fairchild: Madam awoke early. She had some phone calls to make.
 * Arthur: Ah. Ah, well in that case, put on one of her nightgowns and come in here, would you?
 * Fairchild: Sir?
 * Arthur: Oh, come on, Fairchild. I know you want it. I've seen the way you look at me. [Fairchild heads towards the closet] Hey! Fairchild, I'm kidding! I'm kidding. God, it's the truth. Don't they ever kid each other on your planet?
