• Winnie Kirkwood : The Air Force thought my husband was smarter then yours. That's why they made Wilbur a lieutenant and the Colonel... well a colonel.

  Carol Post : I don't want to say that Gordon's career was helped, but I understand your father was a three-star general.

  Winnie Kirkwood : So what? My husband came right up through the ranks.

  Wilbur Post : From private to colonel in only three months?

  Gordon Kirkwood : It was four months.

• Wilbur Post : Gordon, why are we fighting? This whole thing as been a misunderstanding.

  Gordon Kirkwood : Well, you still haven't told me what happened at that examination as to why you were declared mentaly incopetent.

  Wilbur Post : All right... I'll level with you. I had some old wigs and prop hats left over from a masqurade party. What happened was Ed somehow put them on...

  Gordon Kirkwood : [interupting]  I knew it! That horse again. Wilbur, if I told you this I've told you a hundred times, that horse of yours is a trouble maker! He has caused you and all of us enough trouble around here. I'm warning you... sell that old plug or forget me as a friend!

  Wilbur Post : Gordon, please! Don't ask me to sell Ed. Would I ask you to get rid of Winnie?

  Gordon Kirkwood : [behildered]  Huh?

  Carol Post : What Wilbur is trying to say is that his horse is just as important as his wife.

  [to Wilbur] 

  Carol Post : Is that what you're trying to say?

  Wilbur Post : Yes. I mean... no! I... uh...

  [Carol angrily exits] 

  Gordon Kirkwood : Come on, Winnie. Let's get out of here. Maybe I can find someone else to buy and fly that plane with me and not this loony bird who's so attached to his dumb horse!

  Winnie Kirkwood : [to Wilbur]  A horse may be a man's best friend. But remember, a wife is a relative.
