- Franjo Safranek: [to Fulir, convincing him to marry Mina] I think she's a good catch for you. I mean, the brod is not the youngest, but she's well preserved.
- Franjo Safranek: I for one read a book about how humans evolved. It says everything. First, there were fish, and then the fish grew legs, and so on, all up to the human.
- Teta Mina: It wouldn't be that book where some Englishman says that a human evolved from a monkey?
- Franjo Safranek: The writer I don't remember, but the book had most wonderful covers... with gold-stamping!
- Teta Mina: I don't know, so I've heard. But if he's evolved from a monkey, I haven't!
- Ana Safranek: You are on old drunk!
- Franjo Safranek: We just had one litre. I promise. We talked about Manchuria and the Japanese. Trust me!... You don't care, but I do! You have no idea that there is a yellow danger to the world. The yellow race will conquer the entire world!
- Ana Safranek: Yes, and that's why you had to get drunk.
- Teta Mina: [commenting on a young couple making out in the bushes] These brats have no shame nowadays here.
- Franjo Safranek: As to that, it wouldn't hurt you either to have one of them nail you in the bush.
