  • By the way, Fatty.....you don't seem to have the dignity becoming of a lackey. You don't walk right or something. Throw your shoulders back. Now, chin up!! No, no, no - both of them!

Dialogue edit

Student: Pardon me sir, but haven't you come to the wrong college?
Ollie: This is Oxford isn't it?
Student: Yes but, you're dressed for Eton
Stan: Just as well, we haven't eaten since breakfast

Stan: [Pointing to Wilfred Lucas] Look, he's having one of those dizzy spells.
Ollie: Yeah, he's a Dizzy Dean!

Stan: Ollie, where ya goin'?
Ollie: Back to America for me!
Stan: Ollie?
Ollie: What?
Stan: [starts to cry] You're going without me...
Ollie: Stan! You know me!
Stan: Well, of course I know you... What do you have, one of those dizzy spells?
