Quotes from

Corliss Archer: Dexter, you've got to take an oath in blood not to breathe a word if I tell you the truth.
Dexter Franklin: Okay, I swear -
[hits his head on a tree branch]
Dexter Franklin: Ow!
Corliss Archer: You can take it sitting down.
Dexter Franklin: All right. I swear in blood. Look, here's blood on my chin. I just shaved.
Corliss Archer: Well, in the first place, Mildred and Lenny are married.
Dexter Franklin: What! Married!
[Corliss shushes him]
Dexter Franklin: Holy cow.
Corliss Archer: And in the second place, Mildred's gonna have a baby.
Dexter Franklin: She is?
Corliss Archer: But her parents and my parents don't dream they're married, so of course they can't know she's gonna have a baby. See? I'm the only one who knows.
Dexter Franklin: Well, go on.
Corliss Archer: Well, I've been going with Mildred to see her doctor, Dr. Fabling in the Professional Building.
Dexter Franklin: And then what?
Corliss Archer: And evidently, someone saw me coming out of his office, and must have phoned Mrs. Pringle, and well, she came tearing over here, and now everybody seems to have jumped to the conclusion that I'm going to have the baby.
Dexter Franklin: [laughing] Oh, boy! You *are* in a jam!
Corliss Archer: Well, for a while, everybody thought Jimmy was to blame, and Daddy was just calling the C.O. to have him executed.
Dexter Franklin: Gee, whiz.
Corliss Archer: Yes. Then - then Daddy was just demanding to know who it was, and then you came in, and for some reason, they all seem to think it's you!
Dexter Franklin: What? No wonder your father tried to kill me! Holy cow! I'm a dead duck!
Corliss Archer: Dexter, would you mind not denying it for a little while? I've got to have time to think.


Pvt. Jimmy Earhart: I hear you've got a brother in the service.

Pvt. Jimmy Earhart: Oh, that's swell. How old is he?
Corliss Archer: Oh, Lenny's in his 20s. He's just a few months older than I am.
Pvt. Jimmy Earhart: How few?
Corliss Archer: Oh, I forget, three or four.
Pvt. Jimmy Earhart: You know, I've got a kid sister just going on 14.
Corliss Archer: Oh my, they're cute at that age. I mean, all legs and elbows and, you know what I mean. We still have some faded old snapshots of me at that age, and I was a scream.


Corliss Archer: Were you treating Betty Campbell to a coke? That frizzed out blonde?
Dexter Franklin: I was - well, we just happend to meet. I mean, gee, well, well as a matter of fact, it was a root beer.

Dexter Franklin: Well, holy cow, I tell you -
Corliss Archer: If there is one thing I will not stand for, it's fragrant infidelity!
Mildred Pringle: The word is flagrant, Corliss.
Corliss Archer: Well, what did I say?
Dexter Franklin: You said fragrant.
