• Seymour : The least you could do is show me some sympathy, Steve. When you was sick, I was very considerate. Remember when the doctor gave you only 30 days to live?

  Steve Laird : Yes!

  Seymour : Didn't I go out and get you a calender?

• Seymour : And that's how Steve and I became pals. But he's too easygoing. He's not like me. Somebody does something I consider an offense, I don't take it. I fight back. I revolt.

  Irma Peterson : Oh, Seymour that's a sign of character and I admire you for it. I like men who are offensive and revolting.

• Al : Your time will come, son. Have to hold you back a little. Don't want to push you too much. Save you for a rainy day.

  Seymour : Rainy day? I got some news for you, Al. I get hungry in clear weather!

• Professor Kropotkin : My little pigeon!

  Seymour : Who's a pigeon?

  Professor Kropotkin : It's only me, Professor Kropotkin.

  Jane Stacy : Well, hello, Professor.

  Irma Peterson : Hi, Professor.

  Professor Kropotkin : Oh, Jane and Irma, my two little proud beauties! One with her head in the air and the other with air in her head.

• Al : Now, there's the mirror. Take a look at yourself. Now, if you notice, you have deep expression in your eyes and a very sensitive chin - all the qualities of a legitimate actor - maybe even a great lover.

  Seymour : Yeah, but isn't my voice too high?

  Al : Not necessarily. You can make love to tall girls.
