- Oscar Levant: How long have you been working for that virtuoso of the magic violin?
- Don Wilson: Well, I...
- Oscar Levant: I don't mean that as a compliment. I only say a magic violin because when he plays it, everyone disappears.
- Don Wilson: Well, Oscar, in answer to your question, I've been working for Jack now for, uh, well, better than twenty years, and it just swells my chest with pride to think that a man of Jack's great talent and dynamic personality would want me as a member of his cast.
- Oscar Levant: Spoken like a man who hasn't saved a dime.
- Don Wilson: Now, wait a minute, Jack. You can't talk to me that way. I've got pride - self-respect.
- Jack Benny: Don, if you had any self-respect, you wouldn't work for the salary I pay you.
- Mary Livingstone: Something's wrong with Jack, and I don't know what it is.
- Oscar Levant: Well, a lot of things could be bothering him. Tell me, Mary, does he have problems with money?
- Mary Livingstone: Only keeping his stacks even.
- Oscar Levant: That figures. Uh, maybe his age is catching up with him.
- Mary Livingstone: Oh, Oscar, his age couldn't catch up with him, if Willie Shoemaker were riding it.
