• Fred G. Sanford : See, Miss Horne, I'm a fan of yours, I mean a real big fan. I saw your movie "Stormy Weather" 38 times.

  Lena Horne : You're joking. You mean to tell me you paid to see "Stormy Weather" 38 times?

  Fred G. Sanford : No, I only paid once. I went in on a Saturday and came out on a Wednesday evening.

• Lena Horne : I didn't mean to startle you, but what are you doing in my dressing room?

  Fred G. Sanford : Right now I'm having a heart attack.

• Lena Horne : [Discussing Lamont]  Well, doesn't he go to school?

  Fred G. Sanford : Not anymore. He's a drop in.

  Lena Horne : You mean a drop out?

  Fred G. Sanford : No, a drop in. He dropped in a few times then he just quit.

• Lena Horne : [Asking about "little" Lamont]  Oh, is he asleep?

  Fred G. Sanford : Just went to sleep.

  Lena Horne : Oh, I'm so sorry. I could've helped put him into his 'jammies.

  Fred G. Sanford : Yeah, he would have liked that.

• Lena Horne : [after he had come down, seen her, and had his first "heart attack"]  This is Lamont? This is *little* Lamont?

  [Getting increasingly angry] 

  Lena Horne : This is little *lame* Lamont?
