Oliver:
Why you, you...
Stanley:
Don't you call me a you-you!
|
|
Oliver:
Now I see it all.
Stanley:
What?
Oliver:
"What". Don't try to alibi. You know you stole this money from that old lady. Why guilt is written all over you.
Stanley:
What do you mean?
Oliver:
I mean that you're going to give this money back and make a full confession!
Stanley:
A confession of what?
Oliver:
And to think after all these years I've been fostering a common theif. A viper in my bosom!
Stanley:
Whose bosom? What are you talking about?
Oliver:
Don't try to bluff me! To think you would bite the hand that was feeding you. You snake in the grass. You traitor! You sheep in wool clothing. You double-crosser. You judist! You... You...!
Stanley:
Stop! Don't call me a "You-you".

Oliver:
We haven't tasted food for three whole days.
Old lady:
Three whole days!
Stanley:
Yes ma'am. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
|
|
Oliver:
One good turn deserves another.
Stanley:
So do I neither.
Oliver:
What do you mean, "so do I neither"?

[after their tent has gone up in flames]
Oliver:
Well, our earthly possessions are slowly getting less and less.

Old lady:
[Ollie shoves Stan through the door] What on earth is the matter?
Oliver:
Madam, my one-time friend Mr. Laurel has a confession to make.
Old lady:
Confession?
Oliver:
Yes. He's the one who stole your money and left you at the mercy of that villain!
Old lady:
There must be some mistake.
Oliver:
There's no mistake. It's all too true. Why I caught him red handed.
Old lady:
There hasn't been any money stolen. We were just rehearsing a play for the community players.
[laughs]
Oliver:
[after long pause; nervously twiddles his tie] I must have made a faux pas.
[laughs; Stan proceeds to beat Ollie up]

Stanley:
I don't know anything about cutting wood.
Oliver:
Well, you ought to. You once told me your father was in the lumber business.
Stanley:
I know he was, but it was only in a small way.
Oliver:
What do you mean small way?
Stanley:
He used to sell toothpicks.
Oliver:
Well, go ahead and make some toothpicks. Be a chip off of the old block.
