Mr. Dabney: [as Stanley starts serving the couple their 2 cornish hens] There he is! End of the line, boy. Put them right here.

Mrs. Dabney: Don't they look wonderful?

Mr. Dabney: Oh yes, indeedy!

Stanley Potter: This one's for you, Mr. Dabney.

Mr. Dabney: [Suddenly discovering that his chicken is missing] Hey it's gone!
