Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: Won't you come in and have a nice cool glass of buttermilk?
William 'Bill' Sherman: Yeah. I guess I'd like that. Marjorie?
Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: Yes, William?
William 'Bill' Sherman: In all fairness, I've got to tell you something.
Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: What?
William 'Bill' Sherman: I don't believe in marriage.
Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: But I just asked you in for some buttermilk.
William 'Bill' Sherman: Well, I... I didn't want to drink it under false pretences.
Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: Well, my goodness. Maybe, I don't believe in marriage, either.

William 'Bill' Sherman: The University of Indiana. I'm a senior.
Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: Oh, it must be wonderful.
William 'Bill' Sherman: It's a farce. All the fellas' are interested in is playing football and baseball, and women. Women and more women. Can you think of a bigger waste of time?
Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: What's wrong with baseball?
William 'Bill' Sherman: Baseball! It's the national insanity. At a time like this when, when civilization is crumbling beneath our feet, our generation is playing baseball, and singing songs like...
Chorus: [sings in the background] We were sailing along / On Moonlight Bay
William 'Bill' Sherman: We were sailing along, on Moonlight Bay. Isn't that silly?
Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: I rather liked it.
William 'Bill' Sherman: Have you heard the rest of it?
[sings]
William 'Bill' Sherman: You have stolen her heart / Now, don't go away. As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay.
[back to speaking]
William 'Bill' Sherman: That musta been written by a man with a glass of beer in one hand and a rhyming dictionary in the other.
Marjorie 'Marjie' Winfield: Oh, I think it's beautiful.

Cathy Timberlake: No.
Mr. Everett Beasley: Are you available for work?
Cathy Timberlake: Yes.
Mr. Everett Beasley: Did you turn down any jobs?
Cathy Timberlake: No.
Mr. Everett Beasley: Are you busy tonight?
Cathy Timberlake: Yes.
Mr. Everett Beasley: If, in our opinion, the applicant hasn't exercised proper diligence in seeking employment, we can withhold payment of checks... Perhaps tomorrow night? There's a wonderful little diner round the corner from where I live and after dinner we could, uh, well... perhaps...
Cathy Timberlake: Go up to your apartment?
Mr. Everett Beasley: Well, I, uh...
Cathy Timberlake: If you want me to go up to your apartment, come out and ask. That way I can think about it and make a decision.
Mr. Everett Beasley: Would you like to stop off at my place?
Cathy Timberlake: May I have my check?
Mr. Everett Beasley: Oh. Of course. Well?
Cathy Timberlake: I would enjoy going out with you, Mr Beasley... if I didn't find you so personally distasteful. You're a sneaky, crude, offensive man. That's just how I feel. I'm sure there are hundreds of girls who admire those qualities.
