- Café Cook: [as Leopold is just showing up for work] About time you showed up.
- Leopold Jaynos: Punctuality, my friend, was invented for slaves.
- Gyp Beagle: Take your hamburger, for instance. Did you ever toss one together, maestro?
- Leopold Jaynos: Please, Mr. Beagle. Never mention that disgusting word in my presence again!
- Gyp Beagle: What word? "Maestro"?
- Leopold Jaynos: No, no... "hamburger". Ugh! Fit only for pigs!
- Gyp Beagle: Hey, *I* eat 'em. And I like 'em.
- Leopold Jaynos: Yes, I know.
- Leopold Jaynos: A prophet is always without honor in his own country. My family simply doesn't appreciate me. But now, I shall take matters into my own hands.
- Duke Regan: That's what I'm afraid of.
- Leopold Jaynos: And like all great geniuses, I stand alone until the world recognizes me. If you will please excuse me, I must go now and prepare my secret recipes.
- Mr. Hassler: [as Duke tries to tell Hassler his new scheme] You- you're insane!
- Duke Regan: Let me finish.
- Mr. Hassler: You *are* finished. You're discharged!
- Duke Regan: Discharged? Discharged? For what?
- Mr. Hassler: You haven't delivered, Regan. All you've done is to draw a salary.
- Duke Regan: Whyy, didn't I invite a lot of important people to stay here?
- Mr. Hassler: Where are they? The only guests you ever brought to us were two lightweight pugilists -they checked out as heavyweights, and we're *still* holding their baggage.
