• Pedro - Waiter : Will you have your especiale?

  Bill Lonagan : You better make it a double especiale, Pedro.

  Pedro - Waiter : ¡Sí Señor!

• Rena : Why did you advise me to get off here?

  Bill Lonagan : Because I know Aunt Sophie and the Blue Moon Casino.

  Rena : The what?

  Bill Lonagan : Do you know what a Blue Moon girl does? Sits with the customers. Soft drinks at first and then she graduates to the hard stuff. It's a gay life and a short one.

• Rena : I just thought, maybe, you had some problems. Like the ones I have.

  Bill Lonagan : No. No problems. You see before you a man that's about to become a member of the idle rich. I'm going to be a sun dweller - on the prettiest stretch of beach you ever saw.

  Rena : Florida?

  Bill Lonagan : No. It's near Boca Grande. But, it's real quiet. I'm going to sit in the sand and listen to my beard grow.

  Rena : How would you like a neighbor?

  Bill Lonagan : No. No problems.

• Bill Lonagan : Well, bless my buttons if it isn't Crimp.

• Crimp : Oh, Miss. You're destination's the Blue Moon Casino, too.

  Bill Lonagan : Yes.

  Crimp : Well, I guess I just better take a look.

  [Rena slaps Crimp] 

  Bill Lonagan : Say, surly. I like that!

• Joe Brooks : We've formulated a plan. Shall I tell them?

  Bill Lonagan : Yeah. Go ahead.

  Joe Brooks : Well, I suppose we ought to let the ladies take care of the cooking. Mrs. Spangler, you'll be in charge.

  Martha Spangler : Well, I'll be glad to do whatever I can.

  Joe Brooks : And today the men will be split into two work groups.
