- Doris Bolton Owen: Daddy, this is my first dinner for you and Walter together. You know, it means a lot to me to have a nice dinner.
- Jim Bolton: Sure, baby. I'll be old genial Jim, the king of the back-slappers.
- Doris Bolton Owen: Just be yourself.
- Jim Bolton: Actually, a plumber wouldn't live in this broken-down, rat-infested fire trap.
- Doris Bolton Owen: Well, we're getting a Scottie. They're wonderful ratters.

- Doris Bolton Owen: A little.
- Jim Bolton: Look, Doris, look, Hon', call an exterminator right now. Look, I'll pay for it. I'll have your rats killed as a wedding present!
