• Mrs. Riley : You want to be an undertaker?

• Gussie : It's a camera. I always wanted a camera.

• Mrs. Riley : The sun doesn't rise and set on Bus Riley.

  Gussie : I think he's greater than - Rock Hudson, Gordon Cooper, Cary Grant, and George Maharis - all rolled up into one.

  Gussie : Of course, he's human.

• Carlotta : I cannot live in this house with that boy of yours any - more.

  Mrs. Riley : I'm sorry, Carlotta.

  Carlotta : He comes in at all hours of the night and he sounds like some wild man from Borneo! And he turned this place into a jungle. And he appears in the hall and he is not fully clothed!

• Mrs. Riley : Paula, you know that Bus makes some of his deliveries at night.

  Paula : Oh, is that right? Well, that's what you think! He doesn't make any deliveries at night. He just drives over to that floozy's house and stays there until morning.
