  • By the way, Fatty.....you don't seem to have the dignity becoming of a lackey. You don't walk right or something. Throw your shoulders back. Now, chin up!! No, no, no - both of them!

Ollie: Yeah, he's a Dizzy Dean!

Stan: Ollie, where ya goin'?
Ollie: Back to America for me!
Stan: Ollie?
Ollie: What?
Stan: [starts to cry] You're going without me...
