George Burns: George Burns

Quotes 

• Gracie Allen : First we went to Grant's Tomb and then to The Lincoln Tunnel, and I said it was nothing but favoritism.

  George Burns : Favoritism?

  Gracie Allen : Well, yes. I said, "If they could bury Grant in a tomb, they certainly could have found a better spot for Lincoln."

  George Burns : Well, look at where they put poor Washington, under a bridge.

  Gracie Allen : Well, that's gratitude for you.

• Gracie Allen : The last place we visited was The Statue of Liberty and, George, did you know that there were steps inside and you could climb right up through the body?

  George Burns : Sure, I knew that.

  Gracie Allen : Well, so I went right up to the top and it was kinda drafty up there and I sneezed and... I had the funniest sensation.

  George Burns : Well, what was so funny about it?

  Gracie Allen : Well, it was the first time I ever caught cold in somebody else's head.
