  • Alan Benson: Where have you been all these years?
  • Hal Carter: Oh, I was workin' back home - in the filling station. Then, I was in the Army.
  • Alan Benson: Yeah? How long?
  • Hal Carter: Until I got out.
  • Hal Carter: Then I said, "Okay, girls, party's over. Let's get goin'." And one of 'em sticks a gun right in my back and she says, "This party's goin' on until *we* say it's over, Buck!" You'd 've thought she was Humphrey Bogart.
  • Alan Benson: Now, wait a minute, now, then what?
  • Hal Carter: Well, so finally, I passed out. And when I woke up the dames were gone and so was my 200 bucks. I went to the police and they wouldn't believe me! They said my story was wishful thinkin'. How do you like that? I'm tellin' ya, Benson, women are gettin' desperate.
  • Alan Benson: I heard you went to Hollywood to become a big movie hero.
  • Hal Carter: I was gonna have a big career. They were gonna call me: Brush Carter.
  • Alan Benson: What babe?
  • Hal Carter: The babe that got me the screen test. She wasn't exactly a babe. She was kinda beat up. But, eh, not bad.
  • Hal Carter: What I was hopin' was that, you and your old man, between ya, might be able to fix me up with a job.
  • Alan Benson: Sure! These companies can always use me. I'll talk to Dad. I'm sure he can do something.
  • Hal Carter: Maybe, somethin' in a nice office where I can wear a tie and have a sweet little secretary. And talk over the telephone about - enterprises and things.
  • Alan Benson: Before you get to be President of the company, you'll have to be - a little patient.
  • Hal Carter: Yeah, that's somethin' I gotta learn Patience!
  • Howard Bevans: A young man comin' to town has *got* to be a good mixer.
  • Helen Potts: Wouldn't it be nice if he could join the Country Club and play golf.
  • Alan Benson: Oh, he won't be able to afford that.
  • Rosemary Sidney: The bowling team's a rowdy gang.
  • Helen Potts: There's a young mens bible class at the Baptist Church.
