    Larry Todd : One of Shorty's men. He's looking for us.

    Myron Mertz : Is he coming?

    Larry Todd : No, he's just standing there looking around.

    [One of Shorty's goes into the ship] 

    Larry Todd : Yeah, he's gone now.

    Myron Mertz : Don't you worry, 'cause if he comes, I am going to stop him with one word.

    Larry Todd : What's that?

    Myron Mertz : HELP!

    Larry Todd : [slaps the trunk]  Ah, shut up you idiot, before you do get him down here.

  • Larry Todd : I don't mind dying, lady - it's the preliminaries I hate.

  • Larry Todd : Now look, baby, it's just like I said. We're all washed up. I don't mind competing with a French waiter, but when it comes to double-crossing the Big Boy, you can include me out.

  • Larry Todd : [singing]  Well, you hit the spot, Like a pipe and slippers by a fireside, Matter of factly, don't know exactly, What it is that you've got, But, you hit the spot...

  • Larry Todd : [singing]  Well, it's no fun with the sun around, But I get going when the sun goes down, And I - meet my baby, That's when we kiss and kiss and kiss, And then we kiss some more, Who cares how many times we kiss? Well, at a time like this who keeps score?

  • Myron Mertz : Wow! Must've been pretty crowded in there, huh?

    Larry Todd : Oh, you can say that again.

    Larry Todd : What? No, it's not me.

    Mr. Cortega : I'm very sorry.

  • Mary Carol : What is this?

    Larry Todd : Don't talk. Especially, don't scream. If there's gonna be any hysterics around here, I'll have them.

  • Myron Mertz : I'm onto your game, Larry. You ain't got me fooled. You're risking our lives for that girl. I know you. Just 'cause she's beautiful and she has luscious lips, a beautiful figure and she's pretty and her hair is shiny and silky and. - you know something?

    Larry Todd : What?

    Myron Mertz : I don't blame you.

  • Larry Todd : Myron, it's cut and dried. Either you play ball with me - or Shorty plays taps for you.

  • Larry Todd : Well, if you can't get the original, you gotta use a substitute.

  • Mary Carol : Larry, I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here. You've been just wonderful.

    Larry Todd : I have? I've been called a lot of things but never wonderful.

    Larry Todd : Go ahead, pump it.

  • Larry Todd : [singing]  Pay him with your lilting laughter, It's your happiness he's after

    Myron Mertz : I'm with you!

  • Larry Todd : [singing]  Come gather round for the song, Of the enchilada man, And for a treat good to eat, There's nothing better than, Enchiladas so nice and hot, Enchiladas I got, I got...

  • [last lines]
