Mrs. Spencer : We've a service coming up pretty soon. We're having a dress rehearsal, for old Lady Herndon, from out west of town. Died of a heart attack when one of her cats was hit by a moving van. Poor old dear. Want to take a look at her?
Bus Riley : Oh, no.
Mrs. Spencer : Why? You're not afraid of death are you?
Bus Riley : No.
Mrs. Spencer : She's lying there, as natural as life. Pretty as a picture. She was a sight when they first brought her here. But, Spencer's an artist! He dolls them up until they look like chorus girls.

Gussie : It's a camera. I always wanted a camera.
Mrs. Riley : You got her a camera?

Laurel : You were the scrawniest life guard I'd ever seen. You filled out since then.
Bus Riley : So have you.
Laurel : Can I take that as a complement?
Bus Riley : Sure. Just don't build anything on it.

Bus Riley : Used to.
