  Hermie : Heartburn.

• Paule : Hey, Hermie. When you going in?

  Hermie : Never.

  Paule : Well, what's the matter? Aren't you 1-A?

  Hermie : I'm going to college. Educational deferment, first class.

  Paule : Oh... well, that's very nice. I mean, that's okay.

  Oscy : Cut it, Paule. If you weren't so stupid, you'd be going to college too.

  Paule : Well, there's a war on. Remember?

  Oscy : Yeah, I heard the rumor.

  Paule : Well, if you enlist you can pick your own branch. I'm going into the Navy.

  Oscy : As what? A torpedo?

  Paule : [sarcastic]  Good ol' Oscy. Excuse me.

  Oscy : You'll have scurvy in a week!

• Oscy : [having just left the bar with Hermie]  I think I'm going to vomit. You better get downwind.

  Hermie : If you vomit, you're on your own. I'll leave you here to die.

  Oscy : Okay, maybe I won't vomit. I'll sing.

  Oscy : [singing to the tune of Bye, Bye Blackbird]  Pack up all your cares and woes, there he goes, runny nose. Bye, bye, Benjie.
