• Oliver Wendell Douglas : [Eb is glued to the TV]  I said, "Did you see Mr. Douglas?"

  Eb Dawson : No, sir. The only thing I've seen is "Petticoat Junction."

  Oliver Wendell Douglas : Eb, I'm not in the mood - Turn that thing off!

  Eb Dawson : [watching intently]  Huh?

  Eb Dawson : [Oliver turns TV off]  Mr. Douglas do you know what you just did?

  Oliver Wendell Douglas : Yes.

  Eb Dawson : You silenced the work of hundreds of technicians and actors. Not to mention the relatives of the producer. Those people that slave in the fleshpots of Hollywood to bring you a few moments of happiness and joy, and you cut 'em off with the flick of your wrist!

• Oliver Wendell Douglas : [learning Lisa was upset]  She had nothing to cry about. All I did was complain she out to be able to do a few things like changing light bulbs or hammering a nail in the wall.

  Eb Dawson : How can she hammer a nail in the wall when it's got that big home in it?

  Oliver Wendell Douglas : She made that hole.

  Eb Dawson : And you say she's not handy!
