      • April: Think we'll have time to take in some museums? Bobby: Sure, why? April: There's the Museum of Fine Arts. Then there's the Little Clocks Museum. And I want to go to Sigmund Freud's home. Bobby: Feeling a little neurotic, are we? April: No. Maybe we'll see some venerable psychiatrist visiting the shrine, and we can ask him about J.R.

      • Cliff: I thought you said you didn't eat lunch. Afton: Well, I changed my mind when you said it wasn't Chinese food. Cliff: Yeah, I told you I'm different now. Afton: You mean you no longer like Chinese food? Cliff: No, I like Chinese food a lot. It's just that I go to other kinds of restaurants too now. Afton: Mmm, you mean like Mexican where you stuff yourself for $5.00. Cliff: Oh, listen, I'll pay up to six bucks for a good Mexican meal. Afton: My, you have changed.

      • Bobby: (speaking with an Austrian accent) Oh, Fraulein, I have this wonderful job for you. It's a baby-sitting job. It has low hours, low pay, but you'll be working for one of the most handsome counts in all of Austria. (Bobby accidentally hits himself with a riding crop.) Ouch. April: Boy, are you smooth. Bobby: Yeah, well, I'll keep my Von Trapp shut from now on.
