• Lulu Hackett : Actors haven't any more rights than other people. Anyway, I ain't crazy over actors.

  Ted Hackett : Aww, don't say that, mama. It's a grand old profession.

  Lulu Hackett : Yeah, I don't know about that. We're like monkeys climbing up and hanging by our tails, and the people outside the cages laugh and think it's funny. Yeah. Well, that's all right, so long as we don't quit amusing them.

  Ted Hackett : Yeah, but we never quit. That's something performers don't do. They go on and on. They die, mother, but they don't quit.

• Lulu Hackett : This is the second time this week - I caught you making goo-goo eyes at that girl in the sister act.

  Ted Hackett : Oh, nix, not in front of the kid.

  Lulu Hackett : Ah, it won't hurt him to hear.

  [to Hackett Jr] 

  Lulu Hackett : Go ahead and clean up. Don't pay any attention to us, Junior.

  Ted Hackett Jr. as a Child : Say, speakin' about girls, Dad - last week in Albany I heard Gilmore and Leonard say you were one of the *best* chasers in the business. Are yuh?
