Stan: How'd you know I was here?
Oliver: I saw your picture in the paper!
Stan: Did you?
Oliver: Yeah!
Stan: How'd I look?
Oliver: Well, you haven't changed a bit!
Stan: Huh! Neither've you, too. You know, if I hadn't of seen ya, I never would've known ya.

Oliver: Lulu, I haven't seen you in ages. You remember Stan, don't you?
Lulu: How could I ever forget him.
Oliver: I just met him today. You know, I haven't seen him in 20 years.
Stan: No, you see, everybody thought I was dead. Didn't they?
Oliver: Umm-hmm.
Lulu: How did you find out you weren't?
Stan: Well, I figured that - well, I saw my picture in the paper.

Stan: What's a knick-knack?
Oliver: Oh a knick-knack is a thing that sits on top of a whatnot.

Stan: You remember how dumb I used to be?
Oliver: Yeah?
Stan: Well, I'm better now.

Stan: Do you think your wife would mind if I smoked my pipe?
Oliver: Of course not. What's all right with me is okay with her.
Stan: I know, but a lot of dames are particular.
Oliver: Well yes, but... What do you mean calling my wife a dame?

Oliver: Why didn't you tell me you had two legs?
Stan: Well, you didn't ask me! I've always had 'em...
Oliver: [sarcastically] You're better now...

Oliver: Who do you think you're talking to?
Finn: I'm talking to you! You big, overstuffed pollywog!
Oliver: You smile when you call me that.
...
Finn: Apologize? Ha! For what?
Oliver: For calling me an overstuffed pollywog! No man living can call me an overstuffed pollywog and get away with it!
James: All right, all right. You're NOT an overstuffed polliwog.
Oliver: Well, that's better.
Finn: You're an inflated blimp!
Oliver: That's different!
