-
Jeff : Hey, Rusty, Little Rubber Ball is back. I told you he liked the way we bounced him around.
-
Jeff : Wait a minute, you mean I don't get to smack Baby?
-
Jeff : Well, if it ain't sock-me-again Beaumont!
Ed Beaumont : Hello, Jeff.
Jeff : Hey, Gang! Meet the swellest guy I ever skinned a knuckle on.
-
Jeff : We're gonna have a little drink.
Ed Beaumont : Okay.
[Walks to the bar]
Jeff : No, not with these mugs!
[Directs Ed toward the stairs]
Jeff : I got just the place for me and you - a little room upstairs that's too small for you to fall down in. I can bounce you around off the walls. That way we won't be wasting a lot of time while you get up off the floor.
[Turns to the crowd]
Jeff : Excuse us, gents. We gotta go up and play handball. Me and Cuddles.
-
Ed Beaumont : [Mock toasting Jeff] Here's lookin' at ya.
Jeff : I don't wanna look at you. You're a heel.
-
Jeff : Sit down. Go on, sit in any chair you want to sit in. If you don't like that one, take another one. I want you to consider yourself my guest. We'll have a couple of drinks, and then I'm gonna knock your teeth out.
-
Jeff : See, Beaumont? You don't know a cockeyed thing about chairs!
-
Jeff : I know what you're up to. You're a heel! That's what you are. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna beat the hide off you.

[to the waiter, after Jeff has strangled Nick Varna]
Ed Beaumont : Get the cops. Better get a doctor, too, in case Varna's not dead.
Jeff : Better get an undertaker in case he is.
[laughs]

[Jeff has just strangled Nick Varna]
Ed Beaumont : Take it easy, Jeff.
Jeff : I'm just a big, good-natured slob. Anybody can push me around all they want to. And I never do anything about it.
[laughs]
