Walter Fielding: You know what this is, this is the short line for motor vehicles.
Anna Fielding: What?
Walter Fielding: Yeah, you go to this place to get your license renewed, and you get on this line that reaches to Spain, and next to it is this line with only two guys on it, but you don't get on that line, because you think something must be wrong with it, so you waste three hours!
Anna Fielding: I was on the short line once. It was for farm vehicles.
Anna Fielding: What?
Walter Fielding: Yeah, you go to this place to get your license renewed, and you get on this line that reaches to Spain, and next to it is this line with only two guys on it, but you don't get on that line, because you think something must be wrong with it, so you waste three hours!

Walter: Little problem in the kitchen, nothing trivial.
Anna: Well, the turkeys done.
Walter: So is the kitchen. Actually, it's a little overdone for my taste. Let's not go there again.
Anna: You don't want to tell me what happened?
Walter: No, I don't. I just want to relax in a nice lukewarm bath.
Anna: What about this?
Walter: I don't think that can hurt us any more.
[Walter and Anna pour water in the bathtub. Then, the tub falls through the top floor and breaks into pieces on the bottom. Walter feigns laughing hysterically.]

Walter: You're up bright and early.
Anna: I didn't sleep very well.
Walter: You look great. Got a date?
Anna: Yes, with the Marine Corp Band. I'm starting with the brass and working my way into the drum section.
Walter: Don't you think we should talk?
Anna: This is not the time to talk. I'm mad and getting madder.
Walter: Oh, you're mad! What do you think I am?
Anna: I think you're a jerk.
Walter: I know that. I didn't realize how big a jerk I was until last night.
Anna: Neither did I.
Walter: Let's just pack it in then, all right? Let's just finish this whole thing here and now!
Anna: Fine.
Walter: I'll pack a bag for you, so you don't have to come back tonight, and I'll send the rest later!
Anna: You expect me to move out?
Walter: You shouldn't have any trouble finding a bed!
Carpenter: I've got a bed, lady.
Walter: GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! THIS IS PRIVATE!
Anna: I don't what makes you think you can just throw me out of my own house! You're the one who's moving!
Walter: I have worked, slaved, suffered! Put my time into my eyes, and you just want to move out, just because you have something for Max? No way! You hear me? No way!
Anna: I have worked and slaved and suffered for this house every bit as much as you have! Actually more, because I've had to put up with you!
Walter: This is ridiculous! You don't even like this house! You never liked this house!
Anna: I...love this house!
Walter: You've done nothing but complain about it, ever since we got here!
Anna: I did one other thing Walter, I sunk every nickel I had in the world in this house!
Walter: And you'll get it all back! I told you that!
Anna: Me and everybody you've ever met! "I'll pay you back." will be written on your gravestone!
Walter: I wouldn't give lessons on the value of promises! Your word didn't do too well on this last outing!
Anna: Your's is fine! It's certainly a lot better than your check! (walks into a room)
Walter: I'll get you your money back!
Anna: I don't want the money! This is my house and I'm not moving.
Walter: It's a big house, we'll divide it up! You stay in your half, I'll stay in mine!
Anna: That is such a dumb idea. Sometimes it amazes me you ever passed the bar.
Walter: I'm sure it does, you've never passed a bar in you life.
Anna: You are so much less attractive when I'm sober.
Walter: Thank goodness it's not that often.
Anna: (yelling) All right, that's it! I've had it with you, and the house, and Max, and the orchestra and everything! How long will it take to put this house together?
Curly: Two weeks.
[Walter and all the workers start laughing]
Anna: Okay, We'll stick it out until the house is finished. Then we'll sell it, get our money back and get the hell away from each other.
Walter: Fine!
Anna: (starting to go upstairs) GET BACK TO WORK!
Walter: Bang! Zoom!
[Workers murmur and Anna goes in to the bedroom and sobs]
