• Al : All the time alone, wandering off up to the golf course, taking off on his bike, listening to phonograph records alone over in the choir room.

  Laura Reynolds : Al, there are certain times in your life when you would rather be alone than with crowds of people.

• Al : Why doesn't he talk about the same things the other guys talk about? Long-hair music! All the time!

  Laura Reynolds : All right, he wants to be a singer, so he talks about it.

• Al : Why don't you do something about it?

  Tom Lee : Well, what can I do?

  Al : Well, gee, you could - you - I don't know?

• Al : I think you're swell, Mrs. Reynolds. I think you're the nicest housemaster's wife I've ever run into.

• Al : Look, Tom, do you mind if I try to help you?

  Tom Lee : Gee, no. How?

  Al : Now, I know this is going to burn your tail, and I know it sounds stupid, but it isn't stupid! It's the way people look at things. Now, you could do a lot for yourself. Just the way you look and talk.
