- [after Buddy sends off the Chinese acrobats]
- Roz Russell: Hey, Buddy. I didn't know you spoke Chinese.
- Buddy Ryan: [surprised] Was that Chinese? Wow! You know, that would explain that picture of me bowling with Chiang Kai-Shek!
- Buddy Ryan: Mac, I got your message, what's up?
- Mac Robinson: Well we're having a surprise party for Harry.
- Buddy Ryan: That's funny, he didn't mention it.
- Buddy Ryan: [Coming up with a way to stall Harry] Oh I Know! Get him to sing a Billion Bottles of Beer on the Wall. It's a heck lot of fun; although it did cost me to miss the entire Ford Administration.
- Mac Robinson: [Reading Mel Torme's comment in the Newspaper] He followed that with a confusing remark about Strangling a Judge.
- Judge Harry T. Stone: [Everyone turns to look at Harry] He just said A Judge, that doesn't necessarily Mean Me.
- Buddy Ryan: [Responding without contempt or meanness] Don't sell yourself short Son, I'm SURE he meant you.
