• Ada Kurtzman : [about Ben's Halloween costume dressed as Hitler]  Your father says you're not going out dressed that way.

  Ben Kurtzman : And I'm not changing.

  Ada Kurtzman : He says he's not changing.

  Nate Kurtzman : I wanna talk to Hitler.

  Ada Kurtzman : He has a swastika on his arm and big black boots! He's wearing big black boots! He came down the stairs in them with swastikas all over!

  Nate Kurtzman : Put the Führer on the phone!

  Ada Kurtzman : Your father wants to talk to you. Sorry!

  Ben Kurtzman : [to his friends]  You guys can go without me. Yeah, I'm having Halloween here.

• Nate Kurtzman : The government doesn't know from shit. They integrate the golf courses in '51, and schools in '54. Where's their priorities?

  Louie : They integrated the cricket field in Clifton Park back in '50. Can't find a colored person who plays cricket.

  Pete, Nate's Assistant : I beg to differ. That was part of the separate but equal ruling. The coloreds could only play cricket on Tuesdays.

  Louie : You can't find a colored person who wants to play cricket on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Kiss-My-Tuchis-Day.

  Charlie, Nate's Assistant : For that matter, you can't find a white person who wants to play cricket. What is it with that game? It makes no sense. How many players do you need there? What do they use, a mallet or something?

  Pete, Nate's Assistant : Isn't that the one with the hoops?

  Charlie, Nate's Assistant : That's croquet.

  Louie : Nah, croquet is something you eat.

  Nate Kurtzman : Everything is something you eat.

  Louie : No, I saw it here on the menu.
