Quotes 

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Al : Okay, Chicken. Get on the phone.

    Irma Peterson : But I don't know what to say.

    Al : Just say you're calling for Miss Jane Stacy. She's been delayed, she's only half-dressed, and it would take a load off her mind if you would pick her up at her house instead of at the bar. Got it?

    Irma Peterson : Got it, word-for-word.

    [into telephone] 

    Irma Peterson : Hello?

    Al : [covering the receiver]  Just to play it safe, let me have it back.

    Irma Peterson : Uh... "She would like you to pick her up here because she's half-dressed, half-loaded, and would make a very easy pick-up."

  • Al : Got anything to drink at your place?

    Irma Peterson : We have milk.

    Al : Milk? Chicken, this guy's a multi-millionaire. A blue blood. He's used to the best. I'll go out and get a couple bottles of beer.

  • [the radio contest calls Irma's home after her friends find her suicide note] 

    Al : How do you like that? They're calling Chicken from the contest and she has to pick a moment like this to knock herself off. That dame never had no consideration!

  • Al : Chicken, you're cryin'. What's happened?... You didn't lose your job?

    Irma Peterson : Oh, no.

    Al : Oh, you had me scared for a minute.

  • Al : Chicken, believe me. You've got no chance to win this contest.

    Irma Peterson : Why not?

    Al : For one thing, all contest winners live in one of two places - Butte, Montana, or Keokuk, Iowa.

    Irma Peterson : I'll move.

    Al : ...And the only other way you can win a contest is if you have a husband who isn't working and you 're the mother of 32 children.
