- Max: What are you doing?
- 'Slapsy' Max: Cutting something out of the paper.
- [Max discovers Maxie made paper dolls of a newspaper he clipped up]
- Max: Fine thing. You cutting up paper dolls while I'm racking my brain trying to write an important letter.
- 'Slapsy' Max: Go on. What letter could you write that's important?
- Max: [showing him a letter he wrote] That! Asking our creditors for more time so we can stay in business. Now, get busy and clean up the place!
- 'Slapsy' Max: I don't see why I should clean it up. Nobody ever comes in here but us.
- Max: Not so fast, baby! I'm turning you over to the cops!
- Miss Pearson: That what you think.
- [she kicks Max in the knee, who reacts in pained groaning]
