  • Joshua 'Josh' Mallon V: If the world was run right, only women'd get married.
  • Ace Lannigan: Yeah. Hey, could they do that?
  • Ace Lannigan: Whew! That was a close one. In another minute, she'd have had a wedding ring through my nose.
  • Ace Lannigan: I just want you to stand there and admire me for a while. I just got an idea that's gonna make us a fortune. I don't know how I do it.

  • Joshua Mallon IV: The night air is bad for you junior, back in the net.
  • Ace Lannigan: Yeah, now I know how a salmon feels.
  • Ace Lannigan: Your engagement? Why you double-crossin', moonstruck pushover. Gloria hits you with a little billin' and cooin' and - bang - you're a dead pigeon, huh?
  • Ace Lannigan: [wrestling with a just caught Marlin] Hey, he's still alive!
  • Joshua 'Josh' Mallon V: He won't give up!
  • Ace Lannigan: He must be a Republican.
  • Joshua 'Josh' Mallon V: This is a very special offer. The dollar bottle has been selling for 50 cents. It's now available for a quarter.

  • Ace Lannigan: [in brown face, disguised as natives] Shucky-ducky-walky?

  • Joshua 'Josh' Mallon V: Okey-dokey.
  • Joshua 'Josh' Mallon V: Where is Josh going?
  • Ace Lannigan: Oh, where's he always goin'? He sees a pair of big, brown eyes and he starts doin' nip-ups. Give him a girl, a moon and some stars and he goes haywire. In fact, just give him a girl!
  • Joshua 'Josh' Mallon V: Well, you dopey-looking cluck! You're kidding. You in love?

  • Ace Lannigan: Boy, what I'd give for a patty-cake.

  • Ace Lannigan: Why, if either of us looks at anything in a skirt, the other can clip his ears off and stuff 'em down his throat.
