Quotes 

• Ogden C. Osborne : Herbert, my hat. Maestro, if you please.

  [singing] 

  Ogden C. Osborne : A pretty girl is like a melody, That haunts you night and day, Just like the strain, Of a haunting refrain, She'll start up on a marathon, And run around your brain, You can't escape, She's in your memory, By morning, night and noon, She will leave you, And then come back again, A pretty girl, Is just like a pretty tune...

• Ogden C. Osborne : How can someone so - exquisitely beautiful, so intelligent, and so complicated as you are, get sucked in by a scared, suburban phony?

• Finn Earl : Who is this?

  [showing a photograph] 

  Ogden C. Osborne : That's Creamsicle.

  Finn Earl : Her name was Creamsicle?

  Ogden C. Osborne : No. No, she smelled like a Creamsicle.

  Finn Earl : Mr. Osborne, Creamsicle's don't smell.

  Ogden C. Osborne : [next scene, Ogden and Finn are sniffing a creamsicle]  Smells good, doesn't it?

• Ogden C. Osborne : Have a look at that.

  [shows Finn a photograph] 

  Finn Earl : She's really got a lot of pubic hair.

  Ogden C. Osborne : That woman is my mother.

• Ogden C. Osborne : King of Norway introduced me to her. She had a mole shaped like Cuba. She and Billy Holiday got into a catfight over me.

• Ogden C. Osborne : Ex malo bonum. Out of bad comes good. That's what people like you and me are put on this earth to prove.
