Quotes 

  • Dagwood Bumstead : I'm gonna have to take the rest of the day off, Mr. Dithers.

    Julius Dithers : Take the rest of the what *where*?

    Dagwood Bumstead : I can't let Blondie down.

    Julius Dithers : [as Dagwood leaves]  Let 'er *down*? I'd always try to get the ole battle-axe something that'll just shut 'er up. Yick.

  • Julius Dithers : Bumstead, you're - ! Wha-?

    [Cora grabs him by the scruff of his shirt and holds him aloft] 

    Cora Dithers : [growling]  He's *what*, Julius?

    Julius Dithers : Such a romantic boy, don't you think, Cora? Isn't this whole wedding business - wwwonderful?

  • Julius Dithers : Like I said: there'll be a big, fat, juicy bonus in it for you.

    Dagwood Bumstead : Bonus? For me? Gosh, Blondie'll be so proud! And just in time for our...

    [gasps and babbles in bewilderment at the deadline for the Fergueson building to be completed] 

  • Julius Dithers : Bumstead, I know that wedding's been on your mind a lot, but... icing swirls on the tenth floor?

    Dagwood Bumstead : Well, they...

    [a truck horn interrupts them, and they walk toward it] 

    Julius Dithers : What now, a truck full of doilies?

    Blondie Bumstead : [in the truck, with Cora at the wheel]  Hi, honey!

    Dagwood Bumstead : Huh?

    Julius Dithers : Oh, great, a truck full of Blondie.

    Blondie Bumstead : [getting out of the truck, then pulling a lever to reveal an inflating cathedral]  Cora told me you wouldn't make it to the church on time, so - we brought the church to you!

  • Julius Dithers : Bumstead, I know that's the first bonus you've gotten in 18 years, but grab hold of yourself, man.

    Dagwood Bumstead : I can't, Mr. Dithers; today is my 20th anniversary.

    Julius Dithers : So what? Anniversaries are like headaches; ignore 'em long enough, they'll blow away.

  • Julius Dithers : [as the cathedral inflates]  Bumstead, what's going on? Your first obligation is to Fergueson!

    Dagwood Bumstead : Wrong, Mr. Dithers. My first obligation is to my bride, my wife - you know, Blondie.

  • [last lines] 

    Julius Dithers : Hm, you don't catch me trapped at a wedding on a beautiful Thurday afternoon.

    Cora Dithers : Of course not, Julius. Because we're renewing our vows on a Friday afternoon.

    Julius Dithers : What?

    Cora Dithers : [clutching Julius's ear, then taking him away]  Next Friday afternoon! Come on!

    Julius Dithers : Ooh, ee! Y-yes dear, what a wonderful idea!

  • Julius Dithers : [first lines; on the phone]  Rest assured, Mr. Fergueson. The J.C. Dithers Company has been on the job for fourteen months, and we'll have your building renovation finished in no time at all.

    Mr. Fergueson : Good. Because that's exactly when I want it, Dithers. In no time at all!

    [bangs his fist on his desk on the word "all"] 

    Julius Dithers : [winces]  Well, if-if ever in that case, I'll oversee the completion of this project myself.

    Mr. Fergueson : You can't fool me, you old windbag! I know Bumstead does all the work.

    Julius Dithers : [shaking his fist and growling]  Why, you...

    Mr. Fergueson : And don't shake your fist at me! Just make that deadline, and there'll be a nice fat bonus in it for you *and* Bumstead.

    [they hang up in unison]
