• Frank Powers : Bright, remember you're not working on a vaudeville stage anymore. We lost some of your funny stuff when you went out of frame. And stop looking into the camera. It's not going to applaud.

• Frank Powers : Fatso and Cockeye, the fleets in and you're lookin' for dames. You spot the bathing beauties and you decide to treat them to ice cream cones.

  Fatso : Right!

  Frank Powers : Eh, Bright?

  William Simon aka Billy Bright : Yeah.

  Frank Powers : Much better. You're the ice cream man. Now, Mary, you run into the water, you start to drown, you yell for help. Where's the midget?

  Lifeguard in Film : Here, Mr. Powers.

  Frank Powers : Now, Fatso and Cockeye, you get into an argument about who's gonna save her. While you are figuring it out, the midget runs into the water and pulls her out. What is it Bright?

  William Simon aka Billy Bright : Nothing. I was just checking to make sure I got the story straight.

  Frank Powers : Jesus, its not all that complicated.

  William Simon aka Billy Bright : Well, well, well what do I do?

  Frank Powers : I told you, you're the ice cream man. Be funny!
