If I Had My Way

Marian Johnson:
Buzz is right. Who wants to sit in a Swedish garden?

Axel Swenson:
Swedes!

Brenda Johnson:
How do you do, Mr. Swenson?

Axel Swenson:
How do you do?

Brenda Johnson:
But how sweet of you to come, Mr. Swenson! Would you enjoy a little rumba?

Axel Swenson:
Oh, it's too early to drink. I would rather dance. [She laughs]

Buzz Blackwell:
[Breaking the news of her father's death to Pat] Honey, you've been around men like us since you were a baby. You're grown up now, and that's the way I'm going to talk to you. Every job like this has to be paid for , not only in money, but in men. It seems like a high price but not when you remember that a man who loses his life in work like ours is just as much of a hero as a soldier on the battlefield - except that soldiers have to die destroying things, and we die building them.

Buzz Blackwell:
[to Pat, looking at the bridge] The men go, but the bridge stays.

Axel Swenson:
Remember that old Swedish proverb: When the strong pick on the weak, the weak get weaker.

Buzz Blackwell:
Oh, get out of here with your proverbs.

Patricia Johnson:
Is it true money talks?

Bank Guard:
You can't prove it by me. I've never even heard it whisper.
