- They'll tell you money isn't everything. Well, maybe it isn't, but, boy, how it helps.

- Do you know that while Fred was away, I was drawing over $500 a month? I mean, from his Army pay and the job I had.

- Now the two of us gotta live on what Fred gets from being a drugstore cowboy. Thirty-two fifty a week.

- Poor Fred. I guess you think he's an awful sourpuss. He didn't used to be that way, though. Army's had an awful effect on him. Knocked all the life out of him.

- Fred isn't going to be satisfied with that job at the drugstore. He'll get something better.

- Oh, sure. Maybe in five years he'll be drawing down 40 or 50 bucks.

- You can't have happy marriages on that kind of dough.

- You know, Peggy, you're cute. But if you don't mind a personal suggestion, you could use a little more makeup.

- And I think you could get yourself a better hairdo. I'll give you the name of my hairdresser.

- Oh, but you've got nothing to worry about. You'll get Woody and live happily ever after. It's in the bag.

- Now, everybody get in close together, we're all palsy-walsy put our arms around each other. Come on, Fred. I don't mind.

I used to toss a scoop of ice cream in the air adjust for wind drift, velocity, altitude, and, wham, in the cone every time. I figure that's where I really learned to drop bombs.
