• Mother : I don't know what to do, Rabbi. Every night, he listens to the radio. I can't keep him away. I say, "Go to the beach. Play in the sun. Get some fresh air." No. "The Lone Ranger," "The Shadow," "The Masked Avenger."

  Rabbi Baumel : This is not good. This boy needs discipline. Radio, it's all right once in a while. Otherwise, it tends to induce bad values false dreams, lazy habits. Listening to the radio these stories of foolishness and violence this is no way for a boy to grow up!

  Joe : You speak the truth, my faithful Indian companion.

  Rabbi Baumel : To a rabbi you say "my faithful Indian companion"?

  [hits him in a head] 

• Joe : [as he realizes the substitute teacher is the woman he and his friends saw dancing naked in the window]  Oh God, we're all going straight to hell!

• Mother : Pay more attention to your schoolwork and less to the radio!

  Joe : You always listen to the radio.

  Mother : It's different. Our lives are ruined already. You still have a chance to grow up and be somebody.

• Father : You think I want you working at the job I do?

  Joe : I don't even know what your job is.
