Quotes

(Felix brings a girl for Oscar)
Oscar: Where'd you pick her up?
Felix: I didn't "pick her up," as you so elegantly put it. I met her.
Oscar: Where?
Felix: What does it matter where I met her? I met her!
Oscar: If it doesn't matter, tell me where!
Felix: I met her at the doctor's office.
Oscar: What does she got? (edit)
Felix: I promise you I'll have a girl here, and when you see her, your eyes will light up and your mouth will open and out will come, (singing) "Oh, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found thee! Oooooh, I know at last the secret of it all!"
Oscar: Couldn't I just say, "Hello"? (edit)
Felix: I'm a natural born matchmaker. All the great matches, I predicted. John and Yoko, Liz and Richard, I knew it was going to happen. Give me a girl, I'll give you a guy.
Oscar: Jane Fonda.
Felix: Dom Deluise.
Oscar: Dom Deluise?
Felix: Give me a hard one. Give me a guy, I'll give you a girl.

Oscar: Yes, Ma.
Mrs. Madison: And you really want to get married again.
Oscar: Yes, Ma.
Mrs. Madison: And you have nothing against grandchildren.
Oscar: No, Ma... Ma, you started this discussion on the courthouse steps the day I got my divorce! (edit)
