Quotes 

• Maj. Manning : Once the stock market virus gets in your veins, it's impossible to rid yourself of it. I have tried retirement several times; but, always the urge to return has overpowered me. My castle in Scotland held me only a few months. My ranch in Wyoming even less. I thought that my estate in Tarrytown would do it. But, it was the same story.

  Malcom J. 'Dinky' Winthrop : My, my.

  Larry 'Horace' Tucker : The Major has a little place up the river that held him a little longer.
