Oscar : Roy told me to cut back on expenses so I cancelled the policy.
Felix : A man who spends sixty dollars a month on potato chips cuts back on his insurance? (edit) Mr. Duke: It's in our tenants manual. "Management must be informed of the arrival of all guests. If it's to be an overnight guest, management must be notified by 10 p.m."
Oscar: What kind of a stupid rule is that? A lot of times I don't know by 10 o'clock if my guest is going to stay overnight. (edit) Felix: Would a dictator prepare all her favorite dishes -- veal piccata, zucchini, sabayone?
Oscar: They're your favorites.
Felix: And in time, they'll be her favorites. (edit) Felix: You said you wanted to move.
Oscar: Yeah, but not into solitary confinement. Felix, the place gives me the creeps.
Felix: Oh, and waking up in the morning and finding your roommate bound and gagged and tortured, that fills you with confidence.
Oscar: When are you going to forget about that?
Felix: When the rope burns go away. (edit) Mr. Duke: It's for your own good.
Oscar: Mr. Duke, when I look back at the best times of my life, none of it was for my own good. (edit)

The scene with Oscar waking up at the wrong end of the bed would be used in the opening titles in later seasons. (edit)
