Sylvia Hunter: You love your uncle Herbie, don't you? Yvonne 'Evie' LeBrec: Oh yes, I'd marry him if I was a little bigger and he was a little littler. Herbie Brown: [explaining their situation with Evie] We've been like a mama and a papa to her. Slicker Smith: Leave me out of this. Herbie Brown: Okay, Papa. [Herbie and Slicker have just purchased a house, only to find out that it's actually just a broken-down bus.] Slicker Smith: Seven-hundred and thirty-five dollars for a broken down old bus! Herbie Brown: What are you kickin' about? I got the worst of it. I can't drive. [After Collins let Herbie and Slicker get away with Evie] Police Captain: All right, Collins. What's your alibi this time? Sergeant Collins: [nervously] Well, Captain, there was... Police Captain: I know, there were two peddlers and a little girl. And they got away again. And this time, I suppose they took your badge. [Collins smiles as he looks at the Captain before showing him his badge] Sergeant Collins: Oh, no, sir. Here it is. Police Captain: Oh, that's fine. Now you can give it to me! [Slicker and Herbie can be seen examining a car in Mulroney's garage] Herbie Brown: Boy. Slicker Smith: That's a pip. And Bill says it'll do better than 90 miles an hour. [Slicker looks at Herbie] Slicker Smith: Get inside. Herbie Brown: No, I will not. Even standing still, it's going too fast for me. [Losing his temper, Collins has chased Herbie onto the street wearing only his long underwear] Police Captain: I think you forgot your gloves, patrolman! Sergeant Collins: I was chasing one of those peddlers, Captain. He was in my bed! Police Captain: And then he got up and he put on your pants? Sergeant Collins: Yes, sir...I mean, NO SIR!! I was so excited, I forgot! I'll put em' on right away. Police Captain: That'll be fine, Collins. [Pause] Oh, and Collins, don't bother putting on your shoes. Because where I am transferring you, the grass will be SO HIGH...nobody will even NOTICE your feet! Sergeant Collins: But... but... but... Police Captain: And Collins, keep your trap shut!
