Cappy: Oh no! They're not gonna wreck my place again?
[a beach bum is flung over a table, breaking it]

Julie: [getting angry] I can afford it!
Dee Dee: Then he must be of your charity cases!
Frankie: Hold on, the football here would like to say something.
Dee Dee: Well, I'm not through!

Dee Dee: [to Julie] As the man said, this is a public beach and we're supposed to keep it clean.
Frankie: Now that's really in bad taste!
Julie: [to Dee Dee] Then perhaps, you better leave.
Frankie: Very good!
Dee Dee: [to Julie] I plan to!
Frankie: No, wait. Don't quit now, Dee Dee. I think your ahead.
Dee Dee: Okay, how's this for a closer?
