• Jennings : If this is a singing lesson I'm a ring-tailed monkey!

  Professor Wagstaff : This is a singing lesson, and keep your family out of it.

• Jennings : What are you doing here?

  Baravelli : Me? I'm the music teacher. I give her singing lessons.

  Jennings : [to Connie]  Since when are you taking singing lessons?

  Baravelli : Since you came in.

  Jennings : [to Wagstaff]  What are you doing here?

  Professor Wagstaff : I'm the plumber. I'm just hanging around in case something goes wrong with her pipes.

  [to audience] 

  Professor Wagstaff : That's the first time I've used that joke in twenty years.

• Jennings : I love good music.

  Professor Wagstaff : So do I, let's get out of here.

  Jennings : Sit down!

  Professor Wagstaff : [to the audience]  I've got to stay here, but there's no reason why you folks shouldn't go out into the lobby until this thing blows over.

• Jennings : [at the College Widow's apartment]  Pretty popular place, huh?

  Professor Wagstaff : Yes, a hot dog stand would clean up here.

• Jennings : I want to talk to Baravelli. Now, you wouldn't mind stepping out, would you?

  Professor Wagstaff : Well, I'd love to step out, but, I'd have to see the girl first.

• Jennings : Baravelli, I've got a proposition for you.

  Professor Wagstaff : Watch yourself, Baravelli. He's almost as crooked as you are.

• Jennings : Now look, all you've got to do is to get to Professor Wagstaff. He's got the Huxley signals and I'm depending on you to get them here before the game.

  Connie : Yes, but how?

  Jennings : You know how! Romance him, baby. Romance him. And remember, all you're to get is football signals.
