Lola:
I took the zing out of the King of Siam. / I took the starch out of the sails of the Prince of Wales. / It's no great art gettin' the heart of a man on a silver platter. / A little brains, a little talent with an emphasis on the latter!

What happens after I stop being a baseball player? Then where would I be?
Mr. Applegate: [laughs] Well now, of course that's fairly well known. Joe Boyd: Yes, but I have... Mr. Applegate: After all, there's nothing unusual about it. How do you suppose some of these politicians around town got started? And parking lot owners?

Mr. Applegate:
Have a nice trip?
Lola: Perfect. The plane crashed in Cleveland. Mr. Applegate: Good. Now about that job in Chicago. Lola: Just dandy. I got the old boy to embezzle 100,000 dollars and lost it for him at the race track. Then his wife left him and he took to drink. I told him I was through and he jumped out the window... twenty second story. Mr. Applegate: That's high enough, that's fine. Lola: I wanna try the Empire State Building on this next one.
