[holding out her snake-bitten finger]

Quick! Suck it before the venom reaches my heart.

Mike

WHAT heart?

Mike
[ordering at the studio commissary]

I'll have a finger sandwich, hold the mold.

And, uh, I'd like a glass of cold gravy with a hair in it, please.

Mrs. Ace
[sarcastically]

One of your own?

Hey, Mike, son of a gun, a millionaire at 25.

Mike

Ask me how does it feel.

What?

Mike

Ask me how does it feel.

How does it feel?

Mike

I'll tell you how it feels. I don't like it, that's how it feels! I don't like surprises, I don't like all these people jumping around and shouting, wha - I don't even wanna HEAR what you're saying! Because you know what you're saying to me? You're saying "Happy Birthday" and you're jumping out of the walls and it's scaring me to death, and I'm supposed to be HAPPY about that.

Aww, come on, Mike. Be a good sport.

Mike

Well, WHO NEEDS IT? Who needs surprises, and pajamas. You want to throw a birthday party, you don't kidnap me, you send me an invitation. Besides, I probably would have been happier where I was, sleeping. "Happy birthday"... HAH! [embarrassed murmur from party guests] And I'll tell you something else too: the same thing goes for Christmas. [shocked gasps from the guests] Well, how 'bout THEM apples!
