• Jack Benny : Rochester, I just answered the phone and the fellow who was on the other end hung up.

  Rochester Van Jones : How do you know they hung up?

  Jack Benny : How do I know? I can hear the click. I distinctly heard the sound of a click.

  Rochester Van Jones : Maybe they were using a phone booth and the sound you heard was the dropping of a dime.

  Jack Benny : Dropping of a dime? I've know *that* sound since I was 2 years old.

• Jack Benny : [reads the note attached to a rock that just crashed through his window]  "Get out of town before it's too late." Get out of town. Just a note, no ticket.

• Johnny Carson : Jack, I'm kind of concerned with that long take you do at the audience.

  Jack Benny : You mean you don't like that after I tell a joke, the way I stare at the audience. Is that it?

  Johnny Carson : I always have the feeling that you're surprised they're still there.
