- Mrs. Alice McDoakes: That's just the program I've always wanted to go to. Maybe we'll be selected to do something ridiculous, and - and win all those wonderful prizes!
- Joe McDoakes: Sure; we can - we can be as ridiculous as anyone else! Even more so.
- 'Double Up or Drop Dead' Host: Now, for your next question: If half of the married people who get divorced are men, what are the other half?
- Joe McDoakes: Single.
- Joe McDoakes: I've never been a soldier. I was a senior air raid warden, though.
- 'Double Up or Drop Dead' Host: Mm-hm... Let me have the other set of questions... Here's your final jackpot question. Do you wish to double up, or *drop dead*?
- Joe McDoakes: I, uh... I think I'd better quit.
- 'Double Up or Drop Dead' Host: [covering microphone] You quit now with that eight hundred bucks, and I'll break every bone in your head.
- Joe McDoakes: ...Shoot the works.
