Quotes 

• Jackie : Well, what do you want?

  Chubby : Oh, I was just passing by, thought I'd drop in.

  Jackie : Well, just keep passing by till you come to the river and THEN drop in.

• Chubby : Don't call me "Norman." Call me "Chubbsy Ubbsy."

• [aided by a larger-than-life-size Greta Garbo cutout at a movie theater, Chubby practices his romantic technique while quoting from an adult love letter; a little girl echoes but misquotes his studied lines] 

  Chubby : Oh, my darling, can you hear my pleas in my whispers?

  Echo : Darling, I hear the fleas in your whiskers.

  Chubby : [exasperated but continues]  If love is like a rose, I will pick my rose in a bud.

  Echo : If love is like a rose, I will stick my nose in the mud.

  Chubby : [pressing on]  My heart is filled with joy. I wanna trip and dance.

  Echo : My heart is filled with joy. I want to rip my pants.

  [Chubby finally gives up the effort] 

• Chubby : Oh, Miss Crabtree, there's something heavy on my heart. I want to ask you something.

  Jackie : [interrupting]  Oh, Chubbsy-Ubbsy, there's gonna be something heavy on your nose!
