• Athanael : Oh, Elizabeth, the whole world is against me. Here I am, a great musician, sitting here playing third trumpet.

  Elizabeth : Well, you're making money. You're eating.

  Athanael : That's unimportant. I'm an artist. I wish I'd never heard of food or money.

• The Chief : Elizabeth, have we any report on that star missing from the big dipper?

• Athanael : I practice a lot in my spare time.

  The Chief : Yes, so I hear, *constantly*, from this female.

  Elizabeth : I've told the Chief how we study together, you with your trumpet and me with my harp.

• Elizabeth : That's the planet Earth, sir.

  The Chief : Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I created rather hurriedly, as I recall.

  The Chief : Practically slapped together, you might say.

• Elizabeth : First, you take the elevator down to the wardrobe department. Then you change to elevator number 3.

  Athanael : What for?

• Sloan - House Detective : Just a moment, young lady. Would you mind telling me where you've been with that elevator?

  Elizabeth : Yes, I would.

• Athanael : You're wonderful, Elizabeth. I don't deserve you. I'm a weakling. That's what I am - just a blundering, inefficient nothing!

  Elizabeth : That's right, Athanael.

  Athanael : Well, you don't have to agree so fast, do you?

• Furness - Radio Announcer : Here's your Bridge question. You and your boyfriend are defending a slam bid. You lead a club, knowing your boyfriend is blank in that suit. Now, what does your boyfriend do?

  Elizabeth : Really, I don't think I..

  Furness - Radio Announcer : Ah, this is easy. Come now. What does your boyfriend play?

  Elizabeth : Oh, trumpet.

  Furness - Radio Announcer : Trump it! Absolutely correct! That is the play that sets the hand and wins you a prize of $5.00.
