1* "Get tough with that guy." "Now get tough with the other guy." "Now get tough with both of them."
2* The speakeasy/password scene.
3* The anatomy class.
4* The football game.
5** Especially Chico calling the plays. "Hey-diddle-diddle, de cat an' de fiddle, dis time I think we go down the middle!"
6* [[IAmSong "I'm Against It"]]
7* Groucho's rendition of "Everyone Says I Love You". "Everyone says I love you, but just what they say it for I never knew. It's just invitin' trouble for the poor sucker who says I love you."
8* This:
9-->'''Professor Wagstaff:''' Young man, you'll find as you get older, you can't burn the candle at both ends.\
10''[[LiteralMetaphor (Harpo pulls a candle burning at both ends from out of his coat)]]'' \
11'''Professor Wagstaff:''' ''(nonplussed, for Groucho)'' Well, I knew you couldn't burn something at both ends. I thought it was a candle.
12* And this:
13-->'''Zeppo''': [congratulating Groucho on his speech] I'm proud to be your son.
14-->'''Groucho''': You took the words right out of my mouth; I'm ashamed to be your father.
15* Groucho looks at a picture of the back end of a horse: "That reminds me, I haven't seen my son all day!"
16* "You're a disgrace to our family name of Wagstaff, if such a thing is possible."
17* "Why don't you go home to your wife? I'll tell you what: I'll go home to your wife. Outside of the improvement, she'll never know the difference."
18* Groucho's reaction to Connie's "icky girl" baby talk is hilarious.
19--> "Was that you or the duck? 'Cuz if that was you, I'm finishing this ride with the duck."
20** Doubly amusing as at the end of the scene you can see that the Duck is in the boat.
21* Groucho breaks character and says we should go to the lobby until the musical number is over.
22* "Cut the cards." So Harpo does - with an ax.
23* During a canoe ride, Connie falls out of the boat and begs Groucho to toss her a lifesaver. Groucho obliges...by tossing her a ''Lifesavers'' candy piece.
