Oscar Madison:
Can't you keep it warm?

Felix Ungar:
Who the hell do you think I am, the Magic Chef? I'm lucky I got it to come out at eight o'clock. Wh-wh-what am I gonna do?

Oscar Madison:
I dunno, keep pouring gravy on it.

Felix Ungar:
Gravy? What gravy?

Oscar Madison:
Don't you have any gravy?

Felix Ungar:
Where the hell am I gonna get gravy at eight o'clock?

Oscar Madison:
I dunno, I though it comes when you cook the meat.

Felix Ungar:
[under his breath] Comes when you cook the meat.

[stares at him for a moment]

Felix Ungar:
You don't know what you're talking about, Oscar. You just don't know, because you have to MAKE gravy, it doesn't come!

Oscar Madison:
Well, you asked my advice...

Felix Ungar:
[explodes] Your advice? You didn't even know where this kitchen was until I came hear and showed it to you.

Oscar Madison:
Listen buddy, if you're going to argue with me, put down that spoon.

Felix Ungar:
Spoon? Haha, you dumb ignoramus, that is a ladle! You did not know that's a ladle!

Oscar Madison:
Get a hold of yourself, will ya?

Felix Ungar:
You think it's so easy? Go ahead, kitchen's yours, all yours, you make a meatloaf for four people who come a half-hour late. Go on.

Oscar Madison:
I can't believe I'm arguing with him over gravy.

Felix Ungar:
[doorbell rings] They're here - the dinner guests. I'll get a saw and cut the meat!
