- Betsy Booth: Well, let's go on inside. Maybe the coffins will cheer you up.
- Andrew 'Andy' Hardy: It's a fine world. Back in Carvel there are people waiting to laugh at my funeral. Here in New York they've got coffins to cheer me up.
- Betsy Booth: Now don't you feel glad just to be alive?
- Andrew 'Andy' Hardy: I've never before really appreciated the advantage of being dead.
- Andrew 'Andy' Hardy: [In reference to Ulysses S. Grant] He didn't have trouble like I got, all he had on his hands was a civil war.
- Andrew 'Andy' Hardy: What has New York got that Carvel hasn't? Just a lot of tall buildings. And what do people do when they get in tall buildings? They jump out of windows, that's what they do. I tell you New York is a den of evil!
- Andrew 'Andy' Hardy: A guy's world comes crashing down around his shoulders and you offer him corn beef and cabbage!
