- Cathy Shumway: The neighbors are gonna have something much more important to talk about. There's gonna be a celebrity around here. Daddy's gonna be union officer!
- Martha Shumway: What?
- George Shumway: Well, I'm thinking about running. I mean, I'm not elected yet.
- Cathy Shumway: Oh, you'll be elected! If Nixon got elected, you can get elected.
- Mary Hartman: [visiting Loretta in the hospital] Y'know, I was gonna bring you some flowers, but I was standing in the flower shop and I remembered I read an article that flowers take all the oxygen out of a room. And I thought to myself, Loretta has enough problems without choking to death! So I brought you a Milky Way.
