Benjy Benjamin: Now look! We've figured it seventeen different ways, and each time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it, somebody don't like the way we figured it! So now, there's only one way to figure it. And that is, every man, including the old bag, for himself!

Ding Bell: So good luck, and may the best man win!

Benjy Benjamin: (to Ethel Merman's character, Mrs. Marcus) Except you lady: may you just drop dead!
