- Good night, son.

- Good night, Pop. Thanks.

- What you got there?

- Our supper. Cream of corn soup, potato salad, salami and liverwurst.

- We're going to Jackie's Hot Spot. I phoned and made a reservation.

- We're eating at home.

- What's the matter, honey? You sick or something?

- No, dear. Broke.

- But what happened? Where did it go to?

- We spent it, babe. That's what happened.

- I'm sorry it's so sudden. I didn't tell you the money was almost gone because every day I kept hoping I was gonna land a good job. At last I got it through my thick skull that I'm not going to get one...

- So we'll have to forget about Jackie's Hot Spot and the Blue Devil and all the rest.

- Why couldn't you get a job? You really been trying?

- Sure. I've been all over town. All the employment offices and the USES. They all tell me I don't know anything. They say I ought to spend a couple of years as an apprentice or go to a trade school.

- A couple of years with you going to kindergarten. And what would I be doing in the meantime?

- Well, you could always help me with my homework.

- Are you really all right?

- Of course, I'm all right. Why?

- I mean, in your mind. Is there anything?

- My mind? You mean you think I'm going goofy?

- I've been wondering.

Top rated lines from this movie

I say that our bank is alive, it's generous, it's... It's human! And we're going to have such a line of customers seeking and getting small loans that people will think we're gambling with the depositors' money. And we will be.

Yeah, I know. You're the junkman. You get everything sooner or later.

Well, that's vanishing cream. This is a vanishing cream remover. I'll tell you how you can save money. If you don't put that on, then you don't need this to take that off.

Don't say it, chum. The customer's always right, so I'm fired. But this customer wasn't right.

How many times have I told you I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times have you said you were sick and tired of me, that we were all washed up? How many times have we had to fall in love all over again?
