- Jackie Gleason: 30 years in this business and you're still treated like a beginner. Like a 55 year old office boy looking for a job... with a chance for advancement. All those years... and what do I have to show for it? A couple of suits? I couldn't even get this one pressed.
- Jackie Gleason: Well emperor is it thumbs up or thumbs down? Do we get to work another day? Do we get to eat another day? Do we get to LIVE another day?
- Julie Andrews: Please Mr Dennis, don't do this to yourself, this is no way for an actor to behave...
- Jackie Gleason: Oh yes it is. I was doing what actors do best, showing off a little bit. That was a line from Act 3, scene 2 of "THE COMPANY MAN"... it was written by Robert Lawton. THAT's what you call acting.
- Jackie Gleason: Tell the emperor
- Jackie Gleason: NEXT!
