- Edwin: I don't want to go to Brooklyn. You can't make me. I don't *want* to go to Brooklyn.
- Bus Driver: None of us want to, bud, but we all gotta go sooner or later.
- [last lines]
- Edwin Dingle: In fact, I don't think I'm ever going to see Buster again.
- [Edwin hears the spooky Buster music and gasps]
- Edwin Dingle: [angrily] Buster!
- Buzzy's Ghost: [popping out of a box] I'm a little devil, ain't I?
- Ellen Shanley: Do you think you'll be coming back tomorrow?
- Edwin Dingle: Oh, by all means. I enjoy it here very much, uh, I love the smell of leather bindings.
- Edwin Dingle: Did you say you sing and dance in a night club?
- Sailor's Girl Friend: No, I work in a bakery. But, a lot of people take me for Lana Turner.
- Edwin Dingle: Ellen.
- Ellen Shanley: You've got a nerve, hanging around here. You just got me fired!
- Edwin Dingle: I'm sorry, but, I must resort to force.
- Ellen Shanley: Oh, now you're a cave man!
- Edwin Dingle: Well, the Neanderthal Man had his merits.
- Ellen Shanley: [Talking on the phone] But, I just have to talk to the District Attorney about a young man he arrested. He's not really out of his mind. I upset him because he's not used to girls.
- Edwin: Do you remember you once told me you wouldn't be found dead in Brooklyn?
- Buzzy's Ghost: Yeah, I remember. That was the only way they could get me here.
- Buster "Buzzy" Bellew: Take it easy, lad. A fellow has to pay his cab fare. What do I owe you, Max?
- Max - Taxi Driver: 60 cents, Buzzy.
- Buster "Buzzy" Bellew: I'll toss you for it, double or nothing. Give me a coin. Come on, Max. Come on. That a boy. What do you cry?
- Max - Taxi Driver: Tails!
- Buster "Buzzy" Bellew: To bad, Max, you lose. Ha-ha-ha!
- [Starts to walk away]
- Max - Taxi Driver: Hey Buzzy, my quarter! My quarter!
- Buster "Buzzy" Bellew: This guy's money mad. Here you go, Max.
- [Buzzy tosses money to Max]
- Max - Taxi Driver: [Surprised] Five bucks! What a sweetheart.
- Ellen Shanley: You know, Mr. Dingle, you have the most extraordinary mind I've ever heard of.
- Edwin Dingle: Oh, I wouldn't say that.
- Ellen Shanley: You're very modest, aren't you?
- Edwin Dingle: Yes, I guess, I am.
- Ellen Shanley: That's odd. If I had a mind like yours; in fact, if I had any mind at all; I'd be a brazen hussy! Ha-ha-ha.
- Edwin Dingle: Oh! Ha-ha-ha
- Ellen Shanley: There! I bet that's the first time you've laughed since you've read Professor Zimmel's inaccuracies of the Phoenician wars. Ha-ha-ha
- Edwin Dingle: Ha-ha-ha. Yes, I guess it is, at that. You know, I really enjoy being here.
- Ellen Shanley: I'm glad. I like having you.
- Ellen Shanley: Edwin, do you always where your hair parted in the middle?
- Edwin Dingle: Yes, why?
- Ellen Shanley: Why, I never saw anybody look good with their hair that way, except Hedy Lamarr.
- Policeman in Park: [Kicked in the posterior by Edwin Dingle while drinking at a water fountain in Prospect Park] Why, you!
- Edwin Dingle: Good evening.
- Policeman in Park: What do you think you're doing?
- Edwin Dingle: Oh, forgive me, it was, it was a scientific experiment.
- Policeman in Park: I'll show you an experiment, Einstein!
- Monte Rossen: Alright, Alright, she's waiting for you. Now, be a good Joe, slip her a kiss and square the beef so she'll know you're on the up and up.
- Midge Mallon: Someday, you won't get away with this, Buzzy. Its a good thing I'm as wacky as you are.
- Chimp: Mr. Bellew, Can I have your autograph, please, for the guys in my sorority?
- Buzzy's Ghost: Why, certainly, I'm an old Vassar man, myself.
- Edwin Dingle: I want to explain about last night.
- Ellen Shanley: Well, it better be good. Making me wait hours for potato salad and telephoning me and barking like a dog, meowing like a cat and hooting like an owl.
- District Attorney: Your story is satisfactory except for a few minor details.
- Edwin Dingle: Well, it was quite dark and I may have slipped up on one or two points.
- District Attorney: Yes, in the first place, the tall, thin man with the red beard was a short, fat, fan dancer named Chu-Chu LaVerne!
- Ten Grand Jackson: Hello Monte
- Monte Rossen: Hello Ten Grand, I thought you were
- Ten Grand Jackson: [Interrputs] I was but a friend of mine got a book and bailed me out. Did I get sprung in time for the show?
- Monte Rossen: Sure you can still catch Buzzy's act
- Ten Grand Jackson: Good. I hear he's been singing outta tune lately
- [grins]
- Monte Rossen: [Slightly confused] Show Mr Jackson to his regular table
- Torso: [Talking about Chimp's hearing aid] Now look it Chimp. You don't need that, you ain't no deafer than I am
- Chimp: I know it. But it makes me look very distingué
- Torso: Come on
- [They head to Ten Grand Jackson sitting at his table]
- Ten Grand Jackson: [to Chimp & Torso who take the empty seats at Ten Grand's table] I thought I told you guys to see me at my office
- Torso: The DA's back in town we gotta be low
- Chimp: Yeah. We'd like our money now. Right Torso?
- Torso: Yeah.
- Ten Grand Jackson: Sure you gave him a bath?
- Torso: We told you in Prospect Park Lake
- Chimp: We've done the job so fast they ain't even had time to take his name off the marquee
- Ten Grand Jackson: [They all chuckle & Ten Grand reaches for his wallet] I wonder who Monte's going to put in his place. You know I'm going to miss Buzzy, he was a great performer
- Chimp: [Confused] There's only one explanation. That guy is Buzzy's ghost
- Torso: That's it Chimp. He's come back to get us
- Ten Grand Jackson: [Annoyed] Yeah sure
- [puts his cigarette in the ashtray]
- Ten Grand Jackson: . I'll tell you what happened. You guys came in here to give me the rush act and skip town with dough for a job you didn't do
- Chimp: What did he say Torso?
- Torso: Take that plug out of your ear and you'd hear him
- Chimp: Huh?
- Torso: [shouts] You'd hear him!
- Chimp: [after talking with Edwin who they think is Buzzy] That's him alright. Same face, same eyes, same nose and the same mole under his left ear
- Torso: Yeah I seen it too. That guy sitting over there at that table is right this minute laying at the bottom of the lake
- Chimp: I don't get this, it's the same guy alright look he wrote his name Buzzy Bellew right here
- [shows Ten Grand his signed piece of paper]
- Torso: Yeah look at mine.
- [Reads his paper]
- Torso: Buzz, Buzz, Potato salad? Hey who's that?
- [Gives his paper to Ten Grand]
- Ten Grand Jackson: [Looks at Torso's paper] I guess Buzzy thinks that's funny. Now look you guys, I don't care who or what that zombie is but I'm not paying you ten grand 'till he's knocked off. If you two amateurs can't do the job I'll get a couple of professionals who can
- [leaves a money note under his drink and walks off]
- Chimp: What did he say Tors?
- Torso: You heard
