-
Freddy Lee : How much will you charge me for publishing my song?
Miss Murphy : [Stunned] Who let you off the farm?
Freddy Lee : My Uncle Leland.
-
William Spencer : I think it's great, really great.
Chester Dooley : You'll publish it then?
William Spencer : Sure. I'll have the contracts drawn, same deal as before.
Chester Dooley : [Shakes his head] Uh-uh.
Freddy Lee : Oh, oh.
William Spencer : What do you mean, Chester?
Chester Dooley : Well, no offense, Mr. Spencer, but I want a $100 advance, two cents a copy from the first, and my picture on the sheet music.
William Spencer : Why, that's a holdup. You gotta lot of nerve.
Chester Dooley : I had two martinis for lunch.
William Spencer : How can you come in here and pull a trick like this? You owe everything to me. I picked you out of the gutter and made your name a byword. I plucked you out of obscurity and placed your music in every home in our nation. And this is the thanks I get. Aren't you ashamed?
Chester Dooley : Yes, sir. I'm ashamed.
William Spencer : Well, that's better...
Chester Dooley : And I want a $100 advance, two cents a copy from the first, and my picture on the sheet music.
[Looks at himself in the mirror]
Chester Dooley : On second thought, you can leave my picture off.
Miss Murphy : You gotta give it a fighting chance.

Freddy Lee : Gosh, you mean you're not going to see me again?
Terry Martin : You're a sweet boy and I like you very much. But there are two things wrong with you. Number one is you're not rich. Number two is I'm not rich.
-
Freddy Lee : Gosh, I sure am glad you found me again, Hortense. Whoops, sorry.
Terry Martin : I'm going to make you remember Terry Martin if I have to engrave it on every bone in your head.
Freddy Lee : Yeah. It sure is swell seeing you again. Remember the happy times we had back in Texas? Remember the time you proposed to me and I accepted?
Terry Martin : I was only 12 at the time and I had two Cokes.
