Betty Haynes
- Bob Wallace: Miss Haynes, if you're ever under a falling building and somebody runs up and offers to pick you up and carry you to safety, don't think, don't pause, don't hesitate for a moment, just spit in his eye.
- Betty Haynes: What did that mean?
- Bob Wallace: It means we're going to Vermont.
- Phil Davis: We like to take care of our friends.
- Betty Haynes: We're practically strangers!
- Phil Davis: Well... well, we'd like to take care of that, too.
- Judy Haynes: But... but you might get yourself in an awful jam. Why should you? I mean, what's in it for you?
- Phil Davis: Forty-five minutes all to myself.
- [Bob leaves to go make a phone call]
- Phil Davis: [sighs] I don't know what he's up to, but he's got that Rodgers and Hammerstein look again.
- Betty Haynes: Is that bad?
- Phil Davis: Not bad, but always expensive.
- Betty Haynes: [finding Judy and Phil embracing] What is this? The best two outta three?
- Judy Haynes: I guess I got carried away.
- Phil Davis: Yes, she carried me right with her - I don't weigh very much.
- Betty Haynes: Mr. Bones? Mr. Bones? How do you feel, Mr. Bones?
- Phil Davis: Rattlin'!
- Betty Haynes: Mr. Bones feels rattlin'. Ha ha. That's a good one. Tell a little story, Mr. Bones.
- Bob Wallace: A funny little story, Mr. Bones!
- Phil Davis: How can you stop an angry dog from biting you on Monday?
- Betty Haynes: That joke is old. The answer is to kill the dog on Sunday!
- Phil Davis: That's not the way to stop a dog from biting you on Monday!
- Betty Haynes: How would you bring the thing about?
- Phil Davis: Have the doggy's teeth pulled out!
- Betty Haynes: Oh, Mr. Bones, that's terrible!
- Phil Davis: Uh-huh.
- Betty Haynes, Bob Wallace: Yes, Mr. Bones, that's terrible!
- Phil Davis: Uh-huh.
- Betty Haynes: [singing "Gee I Wish I Was Back In The Army"] The Army was the place to find romance: Soldiers and WACs / The WACs who dressed in slacks / Dancing cheek-to-cheek and pants-to-pants.
- Betty Haynes: Look who's talkin' about guilt!
- Bob Wallace: What do you mean by that?
- Betty Haynes: I mean you shouldn't mix fairy tales with liverwurst and buttermilk.
- Bob Wallace: What d'you have for lunch today?
- Betty Haynes: I didn't have lunch.
- Bob Wallace: Well, maybe you ought to eat some.
- Betty Haynes: Why is everybody suddenly so concerned about my eating habits? Why don't people just leave me alone?
- [last lines]
- Phil Davis, Bob Wallace, Betty Haynes, Judy Haynes: [singing] ... And may all your Christmases be white. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
