- George Burns: I came from a very big family. There were 12 of us children, 7 sisters and 5 brothers, and we were very close. We had to be, we lived in three rooms.
- Gracie Allen: Now George has the last laugh on the critics. They always said he was no comedian, but now that he's working alone he's got a chance to prove it!
- George Burns: At my age, I couldn't start fishing and playing golf. I'm too old to retire.
- Gracie Allen: Too old! Why, he's got years and years of retirement left in him!
