Pete Sandich: Love! Ain't what it used to be.
Al Yackey: Oh there's only ever been two kinds: There's lash fires, which are all flame, burn themselves out and leave nothing. Then there's the long burning. That is nature's burn. Even when you think it's out, the forest floor is warm to the touch. That's the kind you and Dorinda got.
Pete Sandich: You're a poet, Al. You're a really bad poet, but you're a poet.
Al Yackey: My engine's on fire! Can you believe that? And I was in such a good mood.
Delbert McClintock: Rock and roll.
Delbert McClintock: Would anyone object if I tore this floor out?
Molly Jennings: I would.
Delbert McClintock: False alarm then. Lead on.
John Chambers: So you want to come to Hollywood, act like a big shot...
Tony Mendez: Yeah.
John Chambers:...Without actually doing anything?
Tony Mendez: No.
John Chambers: You'll fit right in.
Lester Siegel: The saying goes, "What starts in farce ends in tragedy."
John Chambers: No, it's the other way around.
Lester Siegel: Who said that exactly?
John Chambers: Marx.
Lester Siegel: Groucho said that?
John Chambers: You need somebody who's a somebody to put their name on it. Somebody respectable. With credits. Who you can trust with classified information...who will produce a fake movie...for free.

Charlie Meadows: Beery wrestling picture? Could be a pip, could be a pip.
Charlie Meadows: Listen to me belly achin', like my problems add up to a hill of beans.
Charlie Meadows: I sure do forget myself sometimes.
Charlie Meadows: I pulled off early today. Took your advice, went to a doctor about this ear. He says "You have an ear infection, ten dollars please." So I says "I told you I had an ear infection, you give me ten dollars!" Well, that started an argument.
Charlie Meadows: You think I made your life hell? Take a look around this dump. You're just a tourist with a typewriter, Barton. I live here.
Charlie Meadows: Sometimes it gets so hot I want to crawl right out of my skin.
Charlie Meadows: What a day. Felt like I couldn't sell ice water in the Sahara.
Charlie Meadows: Yeah... Ladies do ask for attention. In my experience, they pretend to give it, but it's generally a smokescreen for demanding it back with interest.
Charlie Meadows: Hell, you've got it made writing for the pictures, beating out that competition, and me being patronizing! Is the egg showing or what?
Steve Blauner: What are you talking about Bobby? Don't you realise you've been 'Performer of the Year' 1964, 1965, 1966, 67, and 68. You've won seven Grammy awards. You've got twelve gold records. You were picked 'Top Vegas Performer'.
