Ballplayers: So what the heck's the use of cryin'? / Why should we curse? / We gotta get better / 'cause we can't get worse!
Mr. Applegate: Going a little far don't you think?
Lola: What's the matter? Didn't ya like it?
Mr. Applegate: I like it fine. Puff him up baby, I'll bring him down again.
Lola: You'll what?
Mr. Applegate: It's already started. Keep your eyes open, homewrecker. You'll find out who's got the pain in the mambo.
Mr. Applegate: With my help a lot of things come easy.

Mr. Applegate: Ohhhh, uh, do you smoke?

Mr. Applegate: I'm handy with fire.
