• Ellen Shanley : Do you think you'll be coming back tomorrow?

  Edwin Dingle : Oh, by all means. I enjoy it here very much, uh, I love the smell of leather bindings.

• Edwin Dingle : Ellen.

  Ellen Shanley : You've got a nerve, hanging around here. You just got me fired!

  Edwin Dingle : I'm sorry, but, I must resort to force.

  Ellen Shanley : Oh, now you're a cave man!

  Edwin Dingle : Well, the Neanderthal Man had his merits.

• Ellen Shanley : [Talking on the phone]  But, I just have to talk to the District Attorney about a young man he arrested. He's not really out of his mind. I upset him because he's not used to girls.

• Ellen Shanley : You know, Mr. Dingle, you have the most extraordinary mind I've ever heard of.

  Edwin Dingle : Oh, I wouldn't say that.

  Ellen Shanley : You're very modest, aren't you?

  Edwin Dingle : Yes, I guess, I am.

  Ellen Shanley : That's odd. If I had a mind like yours; in fact, if I had any mind at all; I'd be a brazen hussy! Ha-ha-ha.

  Edwin Dingle : Oh! Ha-ha-ha

  Ellen Shanley : There! I bet that's the first time you've laughed since you've read Professor Zimmel's inaccuracies of the Phoenician wars. Ha-ha-ha

  Edwin Dingle : Ha-ha-ha. Yes, I guess it is, at that. You know, I really enjoy being here.

  Ellen Shanley : I'm glad. I like having you.

• Ellen Shanley : Edwin, do you always where your hair parted in the middle?

  Edwin Dingle : Yes, why?

  Ellen Shanley : Why, I never saw anybody look good with their hair that way, except Hedy Lamarr.

• Edwin Dingle : I want to explain about last night.

  Ellen Shanley : Well, it better be good. Making me wait hours for potato salad and telephoning me and barking like a dog, meowing like a cat and hooting like an owl.

• Ellen Shanley : You're nutty as a fruit cake!
