• Ricky Stratton : Dad, I was wondering. Are you a monk?

  Edward Stratton III : [singing]  What do you mean?

  Ricky Stratton : It's just that I've been here a while now, and you haven't gone out on any dates.

  Edward Stratton III : Well, son, I -- I thought it was important that I try to spend as much time as possible with you. Besides, I wasn't sure how you'd feel about me dating.

  Ricky Stratton : Come on, Dad. I wasn't born in the woods, you know. I understand when a man has needs.

  Edward Stratton III : You do?

  Ricky Stratton : Yeah! Sure, I have needs, too. I'm just too young to do anything about 'em.

• Edward Stratton III : Come on, Kate, 'fess up. This is a singles cruise, right?

  Kate Summers : Edward, it's an opportunity for diverse, dignified people to meet and travel to foreign islands, thus learning the custom and the history of the indigenous natives.

  Edward Stratton III : Gee, sounds great. Who's the sponsor?

  Kate Summers : Club Whoopee.
