      • Oliver: (to the Monroe brothers) When this bedroom is finished, you'll be paid. Ralph: When it's finished, you call us and we'll come around for our money. Alf: How can he call us? He took our phone out? Edit
      • Lisa: (giving Oliver a pep talk) Two weeks ago, you were nothing but a plain old farmer, planting your little seeds in the ground and watching them shoosting and now you are the president of the telephone company. Why, yours is a regular Horatio Algebra story! Edit
      • Alf: (after Oliver yells about the hole they made in the ceiling) There he goes complaining again. Ralph: Yeah. Don't you know you catch more herring with honey than you do with sour cream? Oliver: I believe you mean you catch more herring with honey than you do with vinegar. I mean--flies with honey! Edit
