Gravis Mushnik
- Mushnick: All right, explain me more.
- Fouch: Well, I remember one place that had a whole wall covered with poison ivy. Now, people came from miles around to look at that wall and they stayed to buy.
- Mushnick: The owner got rich?
- Fouch: No, he scratched himself to death in an insane asylum.
- Mrs. Shiva: [gasps] That was my cousin Harry!
- Seymour: I didn't mean it.
- Mushnick: You didn't mean it. You never mean it. You didn't mean it the time when you put up the bouquet with the 'get well' card in the funeral parlor, and sent the black lilies to the old lady in the hospital, you didn't mean it. But this time, I, Gravis Mushnick, mean it!
- Fouch: [to Seymour] He means it.
- Sgt. Joe Fink: We just want to ask you a few questions.
- Mushnick: I didn't do it.
- Officer Frank Stoolie: Do what?
- Mushnick: Whatever.
- Audrey: I wish you'd break out and tell me.
- Mushnick: All right, I'll tell you tomorrow right after I am telling the police.
- Sgt. Joe Fink: [voice-over] But Mushnick didn't come to the police. If he had, that might have been the finish of the unhappy story. It was not.
- Mrs. Shiva: I thought possibly because I give you all my funeral business, that maybe you should possibly give to me a little cut rate.
- Mushnick: Look at me, Mrs. Shiva. What I, a philatelist?... To my throat I would be giving a cut.
- Shirley: Mr. Mushnick.
- Shirley's Friend: We talked to the committee.
- Shirley: And they said we could use your flowers.
- Shirley's Friend: On the float.
- Shirley: And guess what?
- Shirley's Friend: We're going to feature Audrey Jr.
- Shirley: Right on top!
- Shirley's Friend: Can't you just picture it?
- Mushnick: I can picture it.
- Shirley: Oh, won't the people just eat it up?
- Mushnick: Eat up the people.
