- Cicily: It's awful spooky down here. Do you believe in reincarnation?
- Wally Campbell: Huh?
- Cicily: You know... that dead people come back?
- Wally Campbell: You mean like the Republicans?
- Wally Campbell: [to Joyce] You know, what this party needs is more drinks and more laughs. I'll tell you, I'll bring a bottle of scotch from the dining room and we'll sit around here and drink scotch and make wry faces. Ha. You get it? Scotch and rye?
- [Joyce chuckles. Wally hands her the gun]
- Wally Campbell: Here, I don't need a gun with jokes like that.
- Wally Campbell: [Wiscracking to his stoic Indian guide] You seem like the jolly type, Clarence. D'yuh like jokes? You don't mind if I ramble on, do you? Keeps my mind off the malaria germs.
- Wally Campbell: [Telling a joke to his Indian guide] A farmer had a cow, see, but he couldn't afford to feed it alfalfa so he fed it sawdust. He saved a lot of money alright, but he sure wasted plenty of time getting the splinters out of the milk. Ha, ha, ha, ha, Doesn't that just, uh... Splinters, milk. Don't you get it?
- Indian Guide: Hm. Heard it last year, Jack Benny program.
- Miss Lu: There are spirits all around you.
- Wally Campbell: Well, could you put some in a glass with a little ice? I need it badly.
- Cicily: I'm psychic. I was in a trance once.
- Wally Campbell: I know, I know. When are you coming out of it?
- Mr. Crosby, lawyer: [Referring to Miss Lu's talk about spiritualism] Wait, wait! Stop all this, Miss Lu. Do you want to frighten these ladies out of their wits?
- Fred Blythe: [Sarcastically referring to Aunt Susan and Cicily] Oh, there's not much danger in that.
- Fred Blythe: I could use a drink.
- Wally Campbell: Yeah, I could too. Might as well be a live stiff as a dead stiff.
- Aunt Susan: Come, Cecily, let's go to our room, pile the furniture against the door, and go to bed.
- Cicily: In a house full of lunatics, what good is the bed?
