The Big Store Overview:
The Big Store (1941) was a Comedy - Musical Film directed by Charles Reisner and produced by Louis K. Sidney.
SYNOPSIS
Groucho, Harpo, and Chico turn a big department store upside down as New York detectives trying to foil the hostile takeover of a department store and prevent a murder. Pretty late in the day for the Marxes, this was the final film in which Groucho, Harpo, and Chico appeared together - but there's still lots of fun watching the Brothers turn the emporium into their own private playground.

Martha Phelps:
Tell me, Wolfie dear, will we have a beautiful home?
Wolf J. Flywheel: Of course. You're not planning on moving, are you?
Martha Phelps: No, but, uh, I'm afraid after we're married awhile, a beautiful young girl will come along, and, uh, you'll forget all about me.
Wolf J. Flywheel: Don't be silly. I'll write you twice a week.
Woman Shopper: [to Flywheel lying on a bed] Can you tell me the price of this bed?
Wolf J. Flywheel: $8000
Shopper: Why that's preposterous! I can get the same bed anywhere in town for $25.
