- Harry R. Baker: [when his wife complains about his habit of entering and tossing the evening newspaper on the dining room table] It's clean, I had it boiled.
- Alan Baker: I promise you I will not lose the account.
- Harry R. Baker: Right. It won't be the first one you ever lost. You want to see the list? You can ski down your cancellations.
- Alan Baker: Skiing has nothing to do with it.
- Harry R. Baker: Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. I left out golf and sailing ... sleeping and drinking ... women ... If I was in the "bum: business, I would want ten like you!
- Alan Baker: You talk as though I put no time at all in the business.
- Harry R. Baker: So, do you? You take off legal holidays ... Jewish holidays ... Catholic holidays ... Last year you took off Halloween.
- Mrs. Sophie Baker: [Harry comes through the front door while Sophie is in the kitchen] Harry, is that you?
- Harry R. Baker: [shouting to her] No, it's a burglar ... coming through the front door at 5 0'clock ... for dinner.
- Mrs. Sophie Baker: I see you're in a good mood.
- Harry R. Baker: Don't start with me!
- Harry R. Baker: [Alan walks in] Ah, the other bum! Come on in, bum. We're having a party!
- Alan Baker: Well, what are you doing here, Dad?
- Harry R. Baker: I was invited to dinner. That's some cook you got in there.
- Alan Baker: What cook? What's he talking about?
- Buddy Baker: Ah, he means Peggy.
- Alan Baker: Oh, ho, ho!
- [laughs]
- Alan Baker: Well, why don't you tell him she's waiting for me?
- Harry R. Baker: Look, I don't need you to make up stories.
- [Looks at Buddy]
- Harry R. Baker: For this, I've got Tennessee Williams.
- Harry R. Baker: [laughs while smiling to his sons] May you and your brother be well. God bless you all the luck in the world. You should know nothing but happiness.
- [He goes to the door and turns back]
- Harry R. Baker: If I ever speak to either one of you again ...
- [yells]
