Quotes 

• 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] 

• Rabbi Baumel : My heart is filled with grief!
