- Oliver Wendell Douglas: Lisa, how could you possibly have made a deal with Mr. Carson?
- Lisa Douglas: But, he made such good sense.
- Kate Bradley: Uncle Joe made good sense?
- Lisa Douglas: Yes. He agreed with everything I said.
- Uncle Joe Carson: I don't like to be rushed; after all, nobody bugged Rembrandt when he was painting that ceiling in Rome!
- Sam Drucker: What makes you think you'll be a good contractor?
- Uncle Joe Carson: I don't need to be a good contractor if I have good sub-contractors.
- Sam Drucker: If they're working for you, they aren't sub-contractors, they're sub-normal!
