Quotes

Their First Mistake

Edit
  • Oliver: She says I think more of you than I do of her.
  • Stanley: Well you do, don't you?
  • Oliver: Well, we won't go into that...
  • Stanley: I'm not as dumb as you look.
  • Stanley: Well, I'll be seeing you.
  • Oliver: Where are you going?
  • Stanley: Just going down...
  • Oliver: Well you can't leave me alone here with this child.
  • Stanley: Why?
  • Oliver: Why? Well you're just as much responsible for it as I am.
  • Stanley: What have I got to do with it?
  • Oliver: What have you got to do with it? What have YOU got to do with it? Why, you were the one who wanted me to have a baby, and now that you've gotten me into this trouble, you want to walk out and leave me flat.
  • Stanley: But I don't know anything about babies.
  • Oliver: Well, you should have thought of that before we got it.
  • Stanley: I don't wanna get mixed up in this thing. I've got my future, my career to think of.
  • Oliver: Your career? What about me? What will my friends say? Why, I'll be ostracized.
  • Stanley: Well I'm not going to lose my hook, line and sinker.
  • Oliver: So, you're going to desert me, just when I need you most?
  • [Stan heads for the door, Ollie runs and beats him to it]
  • Oliver: You're not leaving this room!
  • Stanley: The baby's crying.
  • Oliver: Of course he's crying. Will you put that floor lamp over here!
  • Stanley: But it won't reach.
  • Oliver: Certainly it won't reach. You have to pull the plug out of the socket. Here
  • [hands him baby's milk bottle]
  • Stanley: [immediately starts drinking from it]
  • Oliver: [grabs the cord and literally yanks it so hard that the socket casing comes out of the wall. A wierd noise is heard and a second later the socket casing hits him in the nose!] Ooooh!
  • Stanley: [startled spits out the milk he was drinking. The door phone starts ringing]
  • Oliver: [while making his way to the phone] Will you see if you can keep that baby quiet.
  • [answers the phone]
  • Oliver: Hello?
  • [one-second pause]
  • Oliver: How do you expect us to keep this baby quiet with you ringing the phone!
  • [slams the reciver down so hard, that the phone nearly comes off the wall]
  • Oliver: What are you putting that cotton in your ears for?
  • Stanley: If I make a noise, I won't be able to hear it.
  • Ollie: What did you strike that match for?
  • Stan: I wanted to see if the light switch was off.
  • Stanley: You woke the baby up.
  • Oliver: Come on.
  • Stanley: Where are we going?
  • Oliver: We're going to adopt a baby.
  • Stanley: What for?
  • Oliver: Come on. "What for."
