"Whadda' ya' mean ya' want your money back. It doesn't work that way." after AB had "lost the nest egg".
His humor was usually so dry, and he never lost his NY accent (not that he tried). Penny was a treasure too.

(10,885 posts)The cast was perfection, the plot hilarious. It's one that I watch whenever I see it listed; I really should DVR it one day.
"Mother" was a goodie also. "That's the protective ice" claims "Mother" Debbie Reynolds, as AB grimaces at the ice cream. I've used that line since.
