What's the fastest thing in the world? Airplanes? Torpedos? No, Hitler running down Delancey Street.
I was in the war. That so? What did you do in the war? I got shot right thro 'the heart, but I ran away. Ran away? Why you couldn't run away if you were shot through the heart. Well, you see my heart was in my mouth.

Why don't you go home? We have no roof on our house. How do you know you have no roof. A little birdie told me.
What kind of car have you? A Nash. I don't like a Nash. Don't be silly, you can't go wrong in a Nash. That's why I don't like them.
There's a woman peddler at the door. Tell him to come in & bring some blonde samples.
What do you do with your old clothes? I wear 'em.
Going to send your wife the country this summer? No I'm going to make love to her myself this year."
