• Bill : Running away from home?

  Kate : I'm an orphan.

  Bill : What happened to your folks?

  Kate : They died. Went down with a boat. Sank. Forget the name of it. Big boat.

  Bill : Titanic?

  Kate : Yeah, that's it!

  Bill : Then your parents died 63 years before you were born!

  Kate : Which is why I hardly knew them.

  Bill : Yeah, well that... that... that makes sense.

• Shirl : Sometimes I think you don't realize what's going on, I think sometimes you're getting...

  Bill : Senile? That's the operative word nowadays, isn't it, Shirl? You know, it's funny. When I was young, I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my 50s I was considered eccentric. Here I am, doing and saying the same thing that I did then, and I'm labeled senile. I wonder what my billing is going to be ten years from now?

• Policeman : Sorry we bothered you, sir.

  Bill : That's alright, officer. You did what you had to do even though I told you you didn't have to do it. G'bye girls.

• Bill : Memories don't belong in drawers.

• Box Boy : How come I never heard of Max Wellington?

  Bill : Maybe because he was great. You never really remember anyone who was great. It's a sad fact of life, Joe. The truly great not only go unremembered, they seldom get hired. It's the mediocre talent that gets all the work. Nobody expects anything from them, and they're never disappointed.

  Box Boy : Well, I don't understand that.

  Bill : Neither do I, but remember it.

• Dr. Nancy Faulkner : Do you have another doctor?

  Bill : I gave them up when I decided to try for old age.

• Kate : What are you staring at?

  Bill : I forgot I have to replace that tube.

  Kate : Well, where are we?

  Bill : You're in the trunk of my car and I'm out here wondering why you are there.

  Kate : Take me home.

  Bill : Where do you live?

  Kate : Your home.

  Bill : Young lady, what makes you think that I would take you to my home?

  Kate : If you don't, you're in trouble. You've got a naked girl in your car and I'm going to scream.

  Bill : I'll take you home.
