Actually what I was thinking was in "New Neighbor Sam" Sam reacts to the word Diamond and Mr Howell says other things to get his attention.

Ginger frowns and says, "Nylons and chocolate bars?" then Mr. Howell references it was a line he picked up during WW2.

Good job, you guys! I spent a couple of hours looking for the source; it sparked my curiosity. I got stuck thinking it was from a song. Hopefully now Rocky R will be $500 richer!
