  Mary Jones : Not this woman and not this male.

• Joe O'Brien : Now, here's a bottle of wine that's really a bottle of wine! This was made by our iceman's grandfather. Same as he used to do in the old country.

  [pouring wine into paper cups] 

  Joe O'Brien : He puts the grapes in the bathtub and he jumps on 'em. I saw him do it.

  Joe O'Brien : Ah, real jumped on grapes, huh?

  Merrick : Why didn't he take his socks off?

• Joe O'Brien : Skol! But, I don't know what it means.

• Mary Jones : I wish you'd marry me, just like it is. I'm not afraid.
