- I don't know. That's what I intend to find out.
- The world is changing out there. There's a lot of new, exciting ideas running around. Some of them might be right and some might be cockeyed, but they're affecting all our lives.
- I want to know how I stand, where I fit into the picture, what it's all going to mean to me. I can't find that out sitting behind some desk in an office, so as soon as I get enough money together, I'm gonna knock off for a while.

- Oh, that's out. No, I don't want her dough. I want to earn it myself.
- That's foolish.
