Oliver: Now isn't this nice? Stan: It sure is. We're just like two peas in a pot. Oliver: To catch a Hardy they've got to get up very early in the morning. Stan: What time? Oliver: Oh about half past - "What time." Hmph. Stan: I've certainly got to hand it to you, Ollie. Oliver: For what?

Oliver: Get in bed. "Meticulous." Hmph. Oliver: Where is she? Stan: Maybe she went to the mountains. Oliver: I'll bet she did. You know she makes me sick. Stan: Well if she didn't go to the mountains, then Mohammad would have to come here. Oliver: Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into. Lottie: Have you anything else to say?

If my old ball and chain ever talked to me... If she even dared... You know what I'd say? Oliver: What? Stan: I'd say... [Sees Betty] Stan: Hello, honey. I... [Double takes] Stan: If you don't be careful, she's going to get the upper hand of you. Lottie: I'll show you, you Son of a Desert! Go to a convention on me, ha! ha! Dr. Horace Meddick: What seems to be the trouble? Stan: I think he's suffering from a nervous shakedown.
