• Ernst : Fritz! Listen! Do you think when we get to New Guinea, *if* we ever do, there'll be any girls our age?

  Fritz : By the time we get to New Guinea, we won't care *what* age they are!

  [both laugh] 

• Roberta : Do you read a lot, Fritz?

  Ernst : Who, him? He practically doesn't ever read at all!

  Fritz : Never really needed to. Sooner or later, Ernst tells me everything he knows.

• [trying to think of a way to get off the shipwrecked boat] 

  Ernst : Why don't we put up a distress flag?

  Father : Don't you think we look distressed enough? Ernst, anyone who sees a ship stuck on the rocks might possibly guess it's in trouble.

• Ernst : It's better to use your head than break your back, I always say.

• Fritz : What's that?

  Father : That? Oh, that's a quarantine flag. Warning that there's Black Death aboard.

  Ernst : How did you know that?

  Father : Well *I* do a bit of reading, too, you know.

• Ernst : What are you doing?

  Fritz : I'll just take charge of the pistol for a while. I seem to remember it being appropriated before, when someone wanted to go back to the beach.

  Ernst : You give me back my pistol!
