Quotes
-
Howard Foxhugh : I'm glad you like the car, and we're going to give you a chance to drive it, but you've got to promise me one thing.
Mike McCoy : Well, let's have it!
Howard Foxhugh : Don't encourage Cynthia!
Mike McCoy : Cynthia? What's she got to do with it?
Howard Foxhugh : Well, I didn't mind you singing for her. That was her birthday present, but now she is talking about marriage, and that, of course, is out of the question.
Mike McCoy : You're trying to say I'm good enough to drive your car, but I'm not good enough to marry your daughter?
Howard Foxhugh : Oh, now, Mike, don't put it that way!
Mike McCoy : I'll put it this way - if I want to marry Cynthia, and she wants to marry me, we'll get married! As for your car, you can drive it yourself!

Les : Yeah!
Howard Foxhugh : You seem pretty anxious to have Mike drive for me.
Les : Oh, yeah, well the prize money is good.
Larry : You see, Mr. Foxhugh, if we keep him busy driving, he won't have any time for your kid.
[Les kicks Larry in the leg]
Larry : Ow! Hey what did you kick me for?
Howard Foxhugh : Cynthia?
Curly : Yeah, if we don't break this up they're liable to do something terrible like get married.
[Les kicks Curly in the leg]
Curly : Ow! What did you kick me for?
Les : It's nothing to worry about. Cynthia isn't even Mike's type.
Larry : Oh, well sure! Who'd want to marry a gorgeous millionairess?
Curly : Yeah!
Les : Not me.
[Larry and Curly both at once kick Les in the leg. She screams in pain]
Les : Ow! Oh! Ow! Oh!
