• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : [after Johnny Johnson lets him out of the back of his truck]  Pineapples to barbed wire - don't you guys ever haul mattresses?

  Johnny Johnson : We don't haul passengers either if we want to hold our jobs.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Oh, wait a minute. It wasn't his fault. I'm a stowaway. He didn't know I was in the truck.

  Spotter : Oh, left your truck unlocked.

  Johnny Johnson : Mike, will ya keep quiet.

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Keep quiet? That's the trouble with the bunch of you. Why don't you speak up - shout till somebody hears you?

  Spotter : Planning against the good of the company. You better get started before this chump lands you on relief.

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Look, can't we settle this amicably?

  Spotter : Offering a bribe.

  Johnny Johnson : Good-bye.

  [he drives off in his truck] 

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : [to the spotter who has gotten into her car]  Why does an attractive girl like you have to do this kind of work?

  Spotter : Why grandma, what big teeth you've got.

  [and she drives off] 

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : You go ahead. I'm gonna bring you back M. J. Drew's scalp to hang on your radiator cap. If the old witch isn't bald.

  Margaret Drew : Yes, the old bag, that tire character.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : [as he's being hauled away, yells so the wedding guests can hear him]  Why don't you tell the groom's family you've got an insane uncle, bla-bla-bla-bla. They've got a right to know there's insanity in the family.

  Margaret Drew : [to the wedding guests below]  Somebody left the radio on.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : You don't know it, but you're beginning to be just like your boss. Pretty soon, you'll begin to enjoy it.

  Johnny Johnson : Yeah, I guess you're right.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Look out, M.J. Drew, I'm loaded for bear.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Please, please. I'm not a businessman. I'm an artist - a writer. A creator of moods. I can't just plunge into things like, like you captains of industry.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Are you sure when Margaret was born they didn't make a mistake at the hospital and give you the wrong brat?

  Mrs. Drew : Stephen, do you think they could have? Well, I wonder.

• Margaret Drew : I wanna know what was the idea telling those people downstairs I was your girlfriend?

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Well, would you want me to tell 'em that you came here on business?

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : I do hope this isn't putting you to too much trouble, old boy.

  Margaret Drew : No, the door's too far away.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : [watching Johnny and Margaret in the dance contest]  Getting kinda rough.

  Margaret Drew : Give me that hotdog.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Tell me the worst. How did I get here?

  Nolan - the Drew's Butler : I put you to bed last night, sir.

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : And what happened to Miss Drew?

  Nolan - the Drew's Butler : She took one of the guest bedrooms, sir.

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : [gets out of bed and looks at the huge garment he's dressed in]  Well, where'd you dig up the sleeping bag?

  Nolan - the Drew's Butler : My pajamas are a bit small, sir, so I borrowed that from the cook.

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : [spreading out the huge garment]  She must belong to a parachute battalion.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : You'd better go to bed, Margaret.

  Margaret Drew : The name is Maggie.

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : It's been a full day, Maggie.

  Margaret Drew : My name is Baby.

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : No. Please go to bed, Baby, please!

  Margaret Drew : Oh, Mike, I can't just plunge into sleep. I'm a creature of moods.

• Michael 'Mike' Holmes : [singing]  "You must have been a beautiful baby."

  Johnny Johnson : That's a nice way to talk about a lady.

  Michael 'Mike' Holmes : Lady? Oh, that's not a lady, that's a heel.
