Mike Conovan: Not much meat on her, but what's there is 'cherce'.

Mike Conovan: I don't think you've ever been properly handled.

Pat Pemberton: That's right... not even by myself.

Mike Conovan: What do you weigh this morning?

Gibby: Ninety-eight, up two.

Mike Conovan: Why up two? Did you eat extra?

Gibby: No, no, honest.

Mike Conovan: Let him talk himself, will ya?

[looks at Hucko]

Davie Hucko: No, no, honest.

Mike Conovan: That's all, honey, that's all, say no more. Of course, there's always a chance you could be an escaped fruitcake. But if there is something in what... as a matter of fact, if there is anything in what you say, I am going to promote you into the king of the world! Queen, I mean. Let's go.

Pat Pemberton: [bouncing tennis balls with her racket] Would you like to see me serve a few, Mr. Conovan?

Mike Conovan: Oh, no, no, just hit a couple.

Mike Conovan: Like I told you - don't feel like running, slow down. You're supposed to feel like it. That shows you're in condition. People do like they feel, they go on sometimes practically forever, some of them.

Pat Pemberton: It was Collier. Never can do anything when he's watching me. It's always been that way.

Mike Conovan: Why?

Pat Pemberton: In love with him I guess.

Mike Conovan: Oh. Like me with lobster.

Pat Pemberton: What?

Mike Conovan: Lobster... the one thing I'm nuts about. The one thing that don't agree with me. Like you and him.

Pat Pemberton: Not exactly.

Mike Conovan: Why?

Pat Pemberton: Well, you see, this is a question of getting married. You've never been married to a lobster.

Mike Conovan: Ha ha ha ha ha. That's what you think.

Mike Conovan: [suspicious] Have another beer?

Davie Hucko: [inanely] No thanks, no more.

Mike Conovan: [hollers at Gibby] You see that?

Gibby: Davie, what're you doin' to me?

Davie Hucko: Nervous, thirsty!

Mike Conovan: Water, did you ever hear of water?

[Hucko nods, grinning]

Mike Conovan: Well, why didn't you drink water?

Davie Hucko: Um, ashamed.

Mike Conovan: You're what?

Davie Hucko: Nervous, thirsty- I go in the place, I'm ashamed to ask for free water! Took one beer.

Mike Conovan: Aww.

Davie Hucko: Yeah.

[hangs head]

Mike Conovan: Uh-huh. Did you like it?

Davie Hucko: [chuckles] Yeah!

Mike Conovan: What?

Davie Hucko: No!

Mike Conovan: When am I not around?

Pat Pemberton: Well, you don't expect to be watching me every minute... out of every... twenty-four hours... out of every day, do you?

Mike Conovan: If I have to, sure.

Pat Pemberton: Not sure I'll like that.

Mike Conovan: Not asking you to like it. But you'll see pretty soon, pretty soon I'll trust you because you'll trust me. Because what's good for you is good for me and you for me, see? We're the same. We're equal. We're partners, see? Five-oh, Five-oh.

Mike Conovan: Hiya, Glory. Put away the can opener, gorgeous, I won't be home for dinner. I'm going out to make time with a girl.

Gloria Conovan: Well, be careful of her bubbles.

Sleeper: Naturally, I know you know I know somethin'.

Mike Conovan: I know you know I know you know somethin'.
