- [Margaret and Chuck wink knowingly to each other]
- Margaret MacDonald: Well, I admit no ordinary fellow could convince him, but Bob, nobody could call you ordinary.

- Chuck MacDonald: Yeah, Uncle Bob could'a been governor.
- Margaret MacDonald: He could have been senator.
- Chuck MacDonald: Yeah, even president.
- Bob Collins: Oh, hold it, who do you two think you're kidding! Please give me credit for a little intelligence.

- Bob Collins: I couldn't be elected president. I'm a bachelor.

- Bob Collins: Not much.
- George Burns: You've got a smash.
