• Bill : This thing will never get off the ground. Never fly. Take my word for it.

  Gloria Swanson : Young man, you think this thing will not fly? In 1917 I was flying in something wilder than this. Do you know who the pilot was?

  Bill : Wiley Post?

  Gloria Swanson : [Chuckles]  No. Cecil B. De Mille and we flew from Hollywood nonstop to Pasadena. Yes, and on the way home we did loop the loops so I could see the moon upside down.

• Arnie : What do you do in Salt Lake City?

  Bill : I went there once. It was closed.

• Bill : That's enough of that for you. The convention's over. I want you to taper off.

  Bill : No more!

  Sam : You should've stuck to the Blue Nun.

  Arnie : We've got a plane to catch, Sammy boy!

  Bill : [Drunk]  We've got a plane!

  Arnie : Bartender, another one all around.

  Bill : No more!

  Sam : [sings]  California here I come right back where!

  Sam : I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. Oh excuse me...

  Bill : Oh Sammy! I'm sorry he's a little sloshed. You know what I mean?... Listen, we'd like to buy you a drink.

  Mrs. Devaney : Well, maybe a little bourbon on the rocks.

  Bill : You got it. Nurse, bourbon on the rocks for the lady, please.

  Mrs. Devaney : With a small beer chaser.

  Arnie : Jesus Christ, a boilermaker.

• Bill : I went out with a girl once who was half French and half Chinese. I came home late one night, she ate my laundry!
