• Father O'Dowd : Where can I take him to dinner - and we could bump into you, uh, purely by accident?

  Jerry Macy : We used to like the cocktail lounge at the Plaza.

  Father O'Dowd : Alright; how do I entice him to the Plaza?

  Jerry Macy : Simple - bring Lola.

  Father O'Dowd : That's not so funny. I liked your other joke better.

• Tom Macy : Won't you sit down, Father?

  Father O'Dowd : No, thank you... Goodbye, my dear... Tom, I'm leaving you on third base.

• Jerry Macy : When he's with me, he wants me - it's written all over his face. He - he just won't weaken and say so. And I refuse to run after him!

  Father O'Dowd : That's right. You must remain strong - and unhappy.

• Father O'Dowd : There are no women around the athletic club. That's half the charm of eating out! I love to look at beautiful women.

• Father O'Dowd : This is an adult problem - you've got to think of the little fellow first. And you can't be a jerk. He mustn't know that... until he's a little older.
