The Giant Behemoth - Discussion of a Mysterious Sea Creature
Steve Karnes:
I feel Admiral, what we're facing is a marine animal of tremendous size and strength.
Admiral Summers:
Do you mean to believe that a whale could've smashed through steel plates so high above the water line?
Steve Karnes:
I didn't say a whale.
Professor James Bickford:
Behemoth?
Steve Karnes:
That's as good a name as any for now.
Old Lady:
Fiddlesticks!

Donovan's Brain - A Surgeon’s Struggle with Sobriety
Dr. Patrick J. Cory: [after Cory wakes Scratt up from a drunken stupor; pauses and shrugs]
My dear Dr. Schratt, you sober up with more grace than anyone I ever saw. You're terrific. C'mon, let's go.
Dr. Frank Schratt: [He holds out his shaking hand]
Are you kidding? Look! Nope.
Dr. Patrick J. Cory:
Frank, don't let me down.
Dr. Frank Schratt:
What's more useless than a surgeon with a hangover? I'm a drunken zero.! I pass!
Dr. Patrick J. Cory: [Pulls him by the arm]
No, you don't. I'd rather have you do a corneal transplant for me drunk than anyone else sober. Let's go boy.
Dr. Frank Schratt:
You're brilliant but not normal.
Dr. Patrick J. Cory: [Laughs]
So are you, but are you and who is?

Support Your Local Sheriff! - Three Against One: A Confident Proposition
Luke Danby:
Why don't the three of us go over there together? I don't care if he is the fastest gun to ever hit anywhere.
Pa Danby:
Who says he's the fastest gun to ever hit anywhere?
Tom Danby:
Everyone. That's all they're talkin about, all over town!
Luke Danby:
Besides, what could he do against three of us?
Pa Danby:
He could kill two of us.
Tom Danby:
So who's gonna take care of him?
Luke Danby:
Well, who says anybody's gotta take care of him? Why don't we just run him outta town, like we did the last Sheriff?
Pa Danby:
Because this one won't go.
Tom Danby:
... You ain't talkin like yourself, Pa.
Luke Danby:
Yeah, it was always you chargin in, and us two tryin to hold you back.
Tom Danby: [Pa glares at him]
He didn't throw a scare into you, did he, Pa? I- I didn't mean that the way it sounded! I didn't mean, "did he throw a scare into you", I meant... well, what did he do to you, Pa?
Pa Danby:
He maybe made me more thoughtful. He maybe made me realize, that now that we've got a little money for the first time in our lives, and- and got a chance to get a whole lot more... this'd be a dumb time to find out who's the fastest with a gun, us or some show-off who might get lucky even if he... even if he weren't good!
Luke Danby:
So what are we gonna do about him?
Pa Danby:
Ah, there's always some tramp that's good with a gun that can be hired.
Luke Danby:
But you always say "the Danbys fight their own battles.
Pa Danby:
... Well, maybe I was talking about another branch of the family. (Luke and Tom look confused) Now, I'm gonna take a little trip tomorrow, and I want you two to behave yourselves while I'm gone- I don't want no one to make no martyr out of that sheriff.
Tom Danby:
... What's a martyr?
Pa Danby:
(sarcastically) Oh, I'm sorry- they didn't use words like that in the third grade, did they?
Tom Danby: [Pa scoffs and leaves]
How would I know? I never got that far. You remember all them years I was stuck in the second grade.
Luke Danby:
Ah, shaddup!
