  Lisa Douglas : Well, I was just dreaming that their names were over us.

• Oliver Wendell Douglas : [upon seeing Kimball at the airplane factory]  Don't tell me you work here!

  Hank Kimball : [holding a box of dirt and some bamboo]  Yes, I'm the plant manager. I manage these plants.

• Oliver Wendell Douglas : [Alf and Ralph have started working while Oliver and Lisa are still in bed]  Hold it! What do you think you're doing?

  Alf Monroe : We were gonna try to finish the bedroom for ya by twelve o'clock.

  Ralph Monroe : That's when the bus leaves for Bleedswell.

  Alf Monroe : We're going up there to get a job in the defence plan.

  [a beat] 

  Ralph Monroe : Come on, Alf.

• Oliver Wendell Douglas : Eb, would you mind telling me: What's the big attraction at Bleedswell?

  Eb Dawson : They're opening a defense plant up there, and they're offering all kinds of inducements to get people to go there and work. Didn't you read the ads they ran in the World Guardian? Listen to this...

  [reads from newspaper] 

  Eb Dawson : Join the Space Age! Work for Astro Digitronics, makers of the Mighty Mark Five Mokker Rocket. Astro Digitronics is located in carefree, smog-free Bleedswell, Home of the Sympathetic Draft Board.

  Lisa Douglas : That's a nice thing to have.

  Eb Dawson : [continuing to read]  Astro Digitronics offers more fringe benefits than any other space age company, including: unlimited sick pay, free psychoanalysis, and a year's supply of cracked crab.

• Sam Drucker : Mr. Douglas, town council met last night and we voted to reopen the Hooterville Airplane Company that we had here during the war.

  Sam Drucker : [continuing]  And for suggesting it, we're making you president.

  Oliver Wendell Douglas : You're making me...

  Roy Trendell : [interrupting]  Don't he ever finish a sentence?

  Oliver Wendell Douglas : Well I...

  Roy Trendell : There he goes again!

  Sam Drucker : Roy!
