- Joe Holt: I'm dizzy. I'm having hot flashes. My head is heavy. I've got red and green specks before my eyes. My ears are ringin'. My liver is numb. Say, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that I'm dead! Oh! Oh, Doctor.
- Sam Wellington: Dear lawd, I ain't aste you a favor in a long time. So, please listen while I aste you one now. If you wouldn't trouble you too much, kindly make the Pacific Ocean nice and warm for Mr. Joe - when he swims tomorrow. I would consider it a personal favor if you'd let him win. But, anyhow, don't let him drown, 'cause he's the best friend I got in de whole world - - - And P.S. lawd, kindly keep an eye on the new bathin' suit Mr. Joe's gonna wear. 'Cause if it don't work good, he's shore sunk. Amen.
- Joe Holt: You said a mouthful.
- Roger Colby: Mr. Holt, I'm Roger Colby, the attorney.
- Joe Holt: Well, what of it?
- Roger Colby: Well, I'm the correspondent in this city for the law firm in Los Angeles of Bernstein, Bernstein, Bernstein & Jones.

- Joe Holt: Say, about how much would a million dollars be?
- Roger Colby: Oh, about a million dollars.

- Jones: Here we have five thousand shares of Amalgamated Biscuit stock.
- Joe Holt: How much is that worth?
- Jones: In 1929, at the market peak, it was selling for five hundred dollars a share.
- Joe Holt: Five thousand shares at five hundred dollars! Gee, that's marvelous.
- Jones: But, of course, it's decreased rapidly in the past three years. Last month the company failed. The stock isn't worth a nickel today.
- Joe Holt: You mean I couldn't get a nickel for it?
- Jones: You couldn't even sell it for wallpaper.
- Jones: Mr. Holt, this is Sam.
- Sam Wellington: I'm sho' pleased to make your acquaintance, Mr. Holt.
