• Oliver : [Escorting Grocer's Wife down the stairs from the bedroom]  I've never been in a position like that before!

  [laughs] 

  Oliver : But, it's certainly a pleasure to have seen you again.

  Grocer's Wife : Oh, it's my pleasure!

• Grocer : Did you hear me tell 'em, baby?

  Grocer's Wife : You sure did, daddy!

  Grocer : When I tell 'em, they stay told. No beatin' around the Busch with me.

  Grocer's Wife : That's right!

• Policeman : [breaks up a fight between Stan, Ollie and Charlie]  Just a minute. Don't you think this thing has gone far enough? Who started this anyway?

  Oliver : [he and Stan point to Charlie]  He did.

  Grocer : I did not.

  Oliver : Why he did too. Why this little upstart, in the presence of my friend, slandered my character, for which I demanded an apology. He refused to give it, hence this petty little argument.

  Policeman : Slandered your character?

  Stanley : Yes, sir. He filtered his good name, didn't he?

  Policeman : Filtered his good name?

  Oliver : Why you know what he did? He accused me of a clandestine meeting with his wife.

  [Mae gasps] 

  Oliver : For which I was wholly, and absolutely, innocent.

  Grocer : Then what were you doing coming downstairs with my wife?

  Grocer's Wife : Oh, what nonsense. There was nothing to it.

  Stanley : Nothing to it, Officer. He was waiting for a street car...

  Policeman : [to Charlie]  Well it looks like you're to blame. You better apologize to this gentleman.

  Grocer : I will not.

  Policeman : Oh yes you will, or I'll run you in.

  Grocer : Well, alright. But don't let it happen again.

  Oliver : [They shake hands]  No hard feelings.
