“But Johnny can sing!”

“That’s where you come in!”

“You’re so friggin’ smart, you tell me!”

“I liked it fine, but look what it did to my clam-digger!”

“That’s okay. He can be the football/first base!”

“Take him ‘draggies’.”

“Hold the camel still for me?”

“No, not if you hold your fingers right.”

I love the following exchange between Laurel and Hardy after Stan has just accidentally burned all of their meagre worldly possessions:

**OLLIE:** Do you realize what you’ve done? Now we’re gonna have to _humiliate_ ourselves by _begging_ for food!

**STAN:** [_Surprised_] What, again?!

The code switch from the respectful Kemo Sabe form of address is critical.

“There weren’t room to go like this, so we hadta go like this!”

“Maybe that’s because yer 17, Jethro.”

“Why, that’s easy. I calls 'em by their last names!”

“Dammit, I will _not_ sink if you pull it out!”
