Francois - Head Waiter : Well, folks, what will it be?
Chip : Say, what's in this? "Explodo Bomborino," sounds good.
Francois - Head Waiter : Four kinds of rum, brandy, grenadine, lime juice, papaya juice, the white of one duck egg. Only 12 to a customer.
Chip : How about this one: "Dreamland Nightmare"?
Francois - Head Waiter : Vodka, champagne, prune juice, floating chopped chives...
Brunhilde Esterhazy : He'll have a beer.

Brunhilde Esterhazy : I know my duty toward the servicemen. There was this one. He was - he was just a little fella. A skinny little runt. He kept pestering me and following me around. I couldn't shake him off. And finally, he kind of got under my skin. You would have done the same! He wanted to see the beautiful sights of our beautiful city of New York! And I showed him plenty.

Brunhilde Esterhazy : We should have hugged them to our bosoms and said: "Boys, the town is yours!"
