Teddy Pierce : [buying a new suit] Buddy, are you sure this style suits me?
Buddy : You want to look good at funerals?
Teddy Pierce : No, no. I'm just sayin', I wanna look nice, that's all.
Buddy : Let me see. Put your arms down. Now you're cooking with Crisco!

Didi Pierce : Shall we have a drink?
Teddy Pierce : That would be nice. But, take the phone off the hook.

Teddy Pierce : You realise you might have shot me?

Teddy Pierce : You men that old trick still works?
Didi Pierce : Oh, not any more.

They said... they said... they said I should do w... I should... I should do what? They want me to come out at ten o'clock at night and leave my wife and children... I don't care, eight fifteen, ten o'clock, what difference does it make? I'm not a wind-up toy. You tell my superiors at the office, who can give me raises and promotions, that if they don't like my answer, they can go take it and SHOVE IT UP THEIR ASS!
