- Ed Norton: [to Ralph] As long as I'm an executive in that bus company, you are sure of being a bus driver as long as you live.
- J.J. Marshall: Mr. Norton, in what line of business are you?
- Ed Norton: I work for the city.
- J.J. Marshall: In what capacity?
- Ed Norton: Capacity, about 50,000 gallons a day.
- Ed Norton: Boy, imagine that. Guy rich enough to have his own pool table.
- Ralph Kramden: Well, you never can tell, Norton. After tonight, I'm liable to have my own pool table in my apartment.
- Ed Norton: If you do, you'll have to stand in the sink to make a shot.
- Ed Norton: [examining a trophy] 1st prize International Dog Show, awarded to Mrs. J. J. Marshall.
- Ralph Kramden: Well, she might not be attractive, but she's a very lovely woman.
- Ed Norton: How do you do there, Mr. Marshall. I've heard your name mentioned in the Kramden household many times. As a matter of fact, when Ralph was laid off last year, he talked about you constantly.
