 * Stan: Go where?
 * Oliver: Why to war!
 * Stan: Why can't ya go?
 * Oliver: There you are, I knew you'd take that selfish attitude. I'd go in a minute if it wasn't for my flat feet.

 * Oliver: I'm awfully sorry; but, we're incapacitated.
 * Recruiting Sergeant: Incapacitated?
 * Stan: Yes, sir. There's been a lot of it going around lately.


 * Oliver: [on KP Duty] Say, what are we supposed to do with this stuff?
 * George Marshall: Are you kidding me? What do you think you do with it? Take it to the General!
 * Stan: Now what do you suppose the General wants with this?
 * Oliver: There you go asking questions again! When will you learn to follow Army curriculum? OBEY ORDERS, WITH DISCIPLINE! If the General wants it, he can have it!


 * Charles Middleton: I'll swear out a warrant for your arrest! And I'll have that child in the orphanage tonight!
 * Oliver: How much will you charge me to haunt a house?


 * Oliver: Why didn't you tell me it was you?
 * Stan: It was so dark, I didn't think you would hear me.


 * Bank President: What is your business?
 * Oliver: We're in the restaurant business.
 * Bank President: Here in town?
 * Oliver: Oh, all over town. Here, there and thither.
 * Bank President: Chain business?
 * Stan: No, restaurant.


 * Stan: Now what are we gonna do?
 * Oliver: All we've got to do is find Mr. Smith.
 * Stan: You don't know where they live.
 * Oliver: Will you leave that to me. It's the simplest thing in the world.


 * Oliver: Pardon me, Officer. Would you happen to tell us where Mr. Smith lives?
 * Policeman: Smith?
 * Oliver: Yes, sir.
 * Policeman: Smith. Smith. Let me think. What Smith?
 * Stan: It's Eddie's father.
 * Policeman: Eddie who?
 * Oliver: Why the father of this child.
 * Policeman: What's his name?
 * Stan: Who?
 * Policeman: Why the father of this child. That's who you're looking for, isn't it?
 * Oliver: Ah no, sir.
 * Policeman: No?
 * Oliver: The man we're looking for is the father of the father of this child.
 * Policeman: Oh, now I understand you. It's the grandfather that's lost.
 * Oliver: Yes. Oh, no sir. He's not lost.
 * Policeman: No? Well, then what are you looking for him for?
 * Stan: We're not looking for him. We just tryin' to find him.


 * Oliver: Wasting your time like that! While I'm here slaving all day. Why don't you do something to help me?
 * Stan: Well, what can I do?
 * Oliver: Well, you can take care of the baby awhile. I've got my ironing to do!


 * Mr. Smith: [pointing out the window to the lunch wagon] And is that part of your business?
 * Oliver: Part of it? Why, that's all *of it.
 * Mr. Smith: [laughs uproariously] To lend you money on that, I'd have to be unconscious!
