- Benny Miller: Do you mind if I have a piece of candy while I wait on you?
- Hazel Temple Morrison: Aren't you worried you're going to wear your teeth down to the bones?
- Benny Miller: What?
- Hazel Temple Morrison: You ate three packages of cracker jacks, two bags of peanuts, one of those red gooey apples on a stick, and three chocolate malked milkshakes.
- Benny Miller: And don't forget the banana split, with a lot of fruit on it!
- T.S. Chandler: Don't tell me, let me guess, he took the shirt off your back.
- Benny Miller: Took my pants too.
- T.S. Chandler: [Benny insists 7 goes into 28 13 times, Chandler has him write 7 13s on a blackboard] We'll add these up this time.
- [adds the 3's]
- T.S. Chandler: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21. Now, if you can get 28 out of that, you have a job.
- Benny Miller: [adds the 1's on the 13's] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, plus 21 is 28.
- T.S. Chandler: [defeated] You've got the job.
- T.S. Chandler: Did you ever go to school, stupid?
- Benny Miller: Yes, sir, and I came out the same way.
