      • Lovey: Even Ginger, whom I replaced in the part, paid me a compliment. She compared me to a famous television personality. Thurston: Oh good. Lovey: By the way, who is Mr. Ed? Thurston: I haven't any idea. I wonder why she didn't compare you to Mrs. Ed.

      • Gilligan: Gee Professor, you're doing a real neat job. Professor: Thanks, Gilligan. These jungle berries mixed with water make excellent paint. Gilligan: In case the play's a flop, we always can eat the scenery.

      • Gilligan: Mr. Howell, maybe you could back this play. Thurston: Me? Gilligan: Sure Mr. Howell. We can try it out here and if it's good we can take it to Broadway. Thurston: Well I don't know. Skipper: Why don't you do it Mr. Howell? It'll be a lot of prestige. Thurston: I've got prestige. Gilligan: If it's a hit, you can make a million dollars. Thurston: I've got a million dollars. Gilligan: If it's a flop, you can deduct it from your income tax. Thurston: Now you're talking!

      • Thurston: (about show business) It's the only business where you can be a devil when you're an angel.

      • Thurston: There's one thing I can't stand, is a mutiny before lunch.

      • Mary Ann: Gilligan, Skipper, have you seen Ginger? She's been gone all morning. Skipper: No, I haven't. She wasn't at breakfast. Mary Ann: Oh I'm awfully worried about her. She's been acting so funny lately. Gilligan: You mean funny, funny, or funny, strange? Mary Ann: Funny strange.
