Katie Dooley
[edit]- Jimmy, don't bother your father with that now. He's got little enough on his mind as it is.
- Oh, Albert, it makes no sense! You're spending all that money when you have a wife who could pack you a nice, little lunch!
- Trinket?! Haven't you bankers ever heard of gold?
- Some husband; he wants his wife in jail!
Albert Dooley
[edit]- At that price, he ought to have his own car!
- Look, we are pals, pal, but where am I going to get $50, huh? I can't even pay these bills!
- Oh, no; they're not taking this duck in that death trap!
Finley Hooper
[edit]- I wish that fool professor made enough money so I could investigate him.
Fred Hines
[edit]- Look Al, sweetheart. I'm only trying to save you money. I mean by making me a partner, you'll save paying me all those exorbitant lawyer's fees.
- [to the viewers] Wait. What am I doin'? [on Albert] A sane adult with a law degree, crawling outta the barnyard, barking at fowls, tryin' to find some stupid duck who lays solid go.... [one second pause] Solid gold eggs! [barks 3 times to look for Charley]
Other
[edit]- Doctor Gottlieb: Excuse me. I have to go recheck the IQ of this chimp - a hundred and forty, higher than mine.
- Judge: One word of caution, son. If it ever lays another gold egg, bury it. Quick.
Dialogue
[edit]- Jimmy Dooley: Mr. Hooper next door... he has a dog. He can afford to feed it. It's a great big one.
- Albert Dooley: Mr. Hooper next door works for the U.S. Treasury and they have all our money. He could afford a giraffe.
- [Finley overhears the remark and groans to himself.]
- Eunice Hooper: Finley?
- Finley Hooper: Giraffe!
