- Gen. Van Marter: Hello, General Van Marter speaking.
- George Burns: This is George Burns, and Ronnie can't go into the Army. He's got another year of college.
- Gen. Van Marter: Then how did his name get on our list?
- George Burns: [breaks character] That's the way my writers wrote it and if they didn't, we wouldn't be doing this television show.
- Gen. Van Marter: [breaks character] George, I enjoyed being on your show and working with Gracie. She's a great actress. And you know your son Ronnie is a fine performer, too. And so are Bea Benaderet, Larry Keating, and Harry von Zell.
- George Burns: Didn't you leave somebody out?
- Gen. Van Marter: Why, I don't -- oh, yes, what's the matter with me? That little girl that plays Bonnie Sue - Judi Meredith. She's great, too.
- George Burns: How about the cop?
- Gen. Van Marter: He's great, too!
- George Burns: And, Ned, next week I need a fellow to play a doctor on my show. Are you working?
- Gen. Van Marter: No!
- George Burns: You said it.
