Quotes 

• Estelle Penfield : [assessing all the food Stanley is wheeling on a cart to bring to the guests Mr. & Mrs. Dabney]  Stanley! For us?

  Stanley Potter : Mrs. Penfield! They're for our guests, Mr. and Mrs. Dabney. They put money in this place. Naturally we cant put them on a diet.

  Mrs. Dabney : Down the hatch!

  Stanley Potter : Hello, Mr. Dabney, sir!

  Mr. Dabney : [as Stanley starts serving the couple their 2 cornish hens]  There he is! End of the line, boy. Put them right here.

  Mrs. Dabney : Don't they look wonderful?

  Mr. Dabney : Oh yes, indeedy!

  Stanley Potter : This one's for you, Mr. Dabney.

  Mr. Dabney : Why thank you. Now I can serve the rest.

  Stanley Potter : Yes sir, Mr. Dabney.

  Mr. Dabney : All right.! You've got to hand it to Vera. When she throws a party she doesn't fool around.

  [Estelle Penfield sneakily lifts Mr. Dabney's cornish hen from behind the bush with a long serving fork while his mind is occupied on the ambrosia wine] 

  Mr. Dabney : Now what's this? Oh, ambrosia! Pour a little wine, dear.

  Mrs. Dabney : Oh yes. thank you.

  Mr. Dabney : [Suddenly discovering that his chicken is missing]  Hey it's gone!

  Mrs. Dabney : Did you say something?

  Mr. Dabney : Well, didn't the boy put a chicken on that plate, or am I going crazy?

  Mrs. Dabney : Well, he certainly put a chicken on your plate, I saw it.

  Mr. Dabney : I thought so. Ohhh!

  Mrs. Dabney : [as Estelle makes an attempt to steal Mrs. Dabney's chicken]  Now you have my chicken, honey! Honey!

  [Estelle accidentally pokes Mrs. Dabney in the butt] 

  Mrs. Dabney : OWWWW! Ahhh! I've been stabbed! Ohhh! Something bit me!

  Mr. Dabney : What's going on here?

  Mrs. Dabney : Something bit me and it hurts.

  [wailing in pain] 

  Mrs. Dabney : OH HO HO HO!

  Stanley Potter : Please sit down and relax.

  Mrs. Dabney : Oh I can't sit down. I've been stabbed!

  Mr. Dabney : Listen here now, young man, I'm not used to this sort of treatment!

  Vera Radford : What's going on here?

  [as Vera catches Stanley drinking from the Dabneys' wine bottle] 

  Vera Radford : STANLEY!

  Mr. Dabney : Vera, does this sort of thing happen everyday?

• Vera Radford : Oh, no, of course not. Stanley, please get Mr. and Mrs. Dabney fixed up. Will you please get them some more chicken?

  Mr. Dabney : Yes, and get us a chicken that won't fly away this time.

  Vera Radford : Oh

  [chuckles] 

  Vera Radford : of course.

  [turning to Mrs. Dabney] 

  Vera Radford : Are you all right, dear?

  Mrs. Dabney : Well, I think I am.

  Vera Radford : Of course, you're gonna have some more dinner, and now we're going to have some entertainment. All right?

  Mr. Dabney : Oh that's nice!

  Vera Radford : Lonnie. I think we better start the entertainment... right away.

  Lonnie Beale : Sure, Miss Radford.
