Quotes

Ina Firpo: It's the prettiest place you ever saw. It's got a white picket fence all around and creepers all over the house.
Ernest 'Ernie' Ambrose: Creepers? Oh, don't worry about those. The pigeons will eat them up.
Ina Firpo: Oh, Ernie, be sensible. When you and I get married we'll be very happy there.
Ernest 'Ernie' Ambrose: Will the pigeons like it?
