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!
-
Oliver : I remember you!
Grocer : And I remember you too. Now get out of my store and stay out!
Oliver : Oh, don't be like that. Let bygones be bygones. Let's help each other. You have a business, and we have a business. We'll send people to your store, and you send people to our store. What do you say?
Grocer : You mind your business and I'll mind my business. Now get out before I throw you out!

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.
