  • [first lines]
  • Mrs. Doakes: For heaven's sake - get dressed! The agent may bring people here to look at the apartment - you don't want them to catch you looking like a sharecropper!
  • Joseph A. Doakes: Oh, nobody hunts apartments this time Sunday morning.
  • Mrs. Doakes: That's just the time they do hunt apartments. Now, if you're not going to get into civilian clothes, I'm gonna stay home from church. We'll never rent the apartment if people see a poor, poor mountain goat like you.
  • Joseph A. Doakes: Alright - I'll get into my admiral's uniform in just a minute.
  • [last lines]
  • Joseph A. Doakes: Uh, your wife will meet you down in the car; she went out the back way.
  • Mr. Mustavas: Oh - uh... thank you.
