Jackie : [about Miss Crabtree] I like the way she walks, and I love the way she dresses, and, oh, boy, how she smells!

Jackie : No. Sweet and rosy. You know, like, well... ammonia from flowers.
Stymie : Oh, you mean like a funeral?

Jackie : Now, wait a minute, fellas. This might not be so hot. Could mean the house is just like Sunday. Gotta wash your neck and ears and slick up all the time.
Farina : Never thought of that. Even gotta wash your feet before you eat.
Stymie : I wouldn't wash my feet for nobody.
