Larry Brantley: Wishbone

Quotes 

• Wishbone : [as Faust]  Why, I'd make a deal with the Devil himself if I could be more satisfied with my life.

  Mephisto : [suddenly appearing out of a huge cloud of smoke and flames]  You wanted to make deal with me?

  Wishbone : Who are you?

  Mephisto : I am called "Mephisto" by my friends... but - - since I'm the nastiest person in the universe - - I haven't many friends.

  Mephisto : [laughs evilly] 

  Wishbone : [turning to look ruefully at the audience]  Hooo-boy... be careful what you wish for!

• Mephisto : Faust can't go with you - - we had a deal, and he signed in blood. I get his immortal soul for all eternity.

  Care : When a soul learns to care, even at the last minute of life, that soul belongs in Heaven.

  Mephisto : [speaking in a furious tone]  NO! We had our deal! He signed in blood!

  Care : A loving soul is stronger than you, Mephisto. He is coming with me.

  Wishbone : [as Faust, chuckling as he pads over beside Care]  So long, Old Scratch!

  Mephisto : [in a tone of furious desperation, with flames starting to flicker up around him]  Nooo!

  Wishbone : [cheerfully calling back over his shoulder to Mephisto as Care is leading him out of the room]  Don't forget to write!

  Mephisto : [becoming so enraged that the flames rise up all around him in an enveloping inferno to consume him]  NOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOOOO...!

• Wishbone : [as Faust, after he has gone to Heaven and has been re-united with the lovely gentle-natured Gretchen whom Mephisto had previously given him as a girlfriend, when both he and the lady were live mortals]  Gretchen, this must be Heaven - there are no cats!

• Joe Talbot : Thanks for taking care of Wishbone, Miss Gilmore.

  Wanda Gilmore : Oh, that's all right...

  [reaches out to gently stroke Wishbone's ear] 

  Wanda Gilmore : ... he's not so bad.

  Wishbone : [turning and climbing over into Wanda's lap]  You know Wanda, may I call you "Wanda"?, you're not so bad yourself. I could be mistaken, but

  [quoting Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca"] 

  Wishbone : this could be the beginning of a bee-yuu-ti-ful friendship!
