 * Oliver: Umm-hmm.
 * Lulu: How did you find out you weren't?
 * Stan: Well, I figured that - well, I saw my picture in the paper.


 * Stan: What's a knick-knack?
 * Oliver: Oh a knick-knack is a thing that sits on top of a whatnot.


 * Stan: You remember how dumb I used to be?
 * Oliver: Yeah?
 * Stan: Well, I'm better now.


 * Stan: Do you think your wife would mind if I smoked my pipe?
 * Oliver: Of course not. What's all right with me is okay with her.
 * Stan: I know, but a lot of dames are particular.
 * Oliver: Well yes, but... What do you mean calling my wife a dame?


 * Oliver: Why didn't you tell me you had two legs?
 * Stan: Well, you didn't ask me! I've always had 'em...
 * Oliver: [sarcastically] You're better now...


 * Oliver: Who do you think you're talking to?
 * Finn: I'm talking to you! You big, overstuffed pollywog!
 * Oliver: You smile when you call me that.
 * Finn: Apologize? Ha! For what?
 * Oliver: For calling me an overstuffed pollywog! No man living can call me an overstuffed pollywog and get away with it!
 * James: All right, all right. You're NOT an overstuffed polliwog.
 * Oliver: Well, that's better.
 * Finn: You're an inflated blimp!
 * Oliver: That's different!
 * Oliver: That's different!
