- Barbara Shea: [on the telephone] This is Mr. Shea's daughter. My father isn't home right n - Well, I'm awfully sorry the boys are rehearsing, but I'll be glad to...
- Sarah Wendling: [on the telephone] I'm tired of warning you people. I won't have my nights disturbed by a lot of noisy riffraff. I won't put up with it any longer!
- Barbara Shea: I'm sorry, Miss Wendling, I'll go right up and...
- Sarah Wendling: [hangs up] .
- Betsy Brown: What's wrong?
- Barbara Shea: She called us a lot of riffraff.
- Betsy Brown: Who?
- Barbara Shea: Our landlady.
- Betsy Brown: I didn't know we had one.
- Barbara Shea: Well, if you ever see a pumpkin in one of the windows next door and it isn't Halloween, that's our landlady.
- Roger Wendling: This young lady wants to give you money to pay the rent on the hotel.
- Sarah Wendling: Nonsense! So you've gone in for social service, have you?
- Roger Wendling: Not exactly, Aunt Sarah, I just met an acquaintance.
- Betsy Brown: There's almost five dollars in here, and I'm sure Pop will have the rest for you very soon.
- Willoughby Wendling: Bless my soul!
- Sarah Wendling: Keep your soul out of this. You will please get rid of this child.
- Roger Wendling: But Aunt Sarah...
- Sarah Wendling: If those people next door think they can play on my sympathy like this, they are greatly mistaken. I'll have my rent, all of it, or out they go.
- Sarah Wendling: Young lady, I've come here to tell you to let this nephew of mine alone. You let him pay your rent for you, didn't you?
- Roger Wendling: Aunt Sarah!
- Barbara Shea: I don't have to listen to this!
- Roger Wendling: Aunt Sarah, that was uncalled for, unkind, and untrue!
- Betsy Brown: Uncle Roger didn't give us any money! We got it from - from someone else.
- Sarah Wendling: So it's Uncle Roger now, is it? Is Miss Shea your mother?
- Betsy Brown: Practically.
- Roger Wendling: Betsy is Mr. Shea's adopted child.
- Sarah Wendling: Adopted, eh? So they brought her into this wholesome atmosphere, nice place for a child. Why, she's using her as a decoy, and you don't you have the sense to realize it!
- Sarah Wendling: Officer, there's the child you're after.
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: You let her alone!
- Detective: Now, just a minute...
- Betsy Brown: Don't you hurt Pop! Don't you dare hurt Pop!
- Detective: We're not hurting anyone, little girl. There's no need to get excited, but we've got orders to pick her up.
- Betsy Brown: No, no! I want to stay with Pop!
- Detective: Well, I don't blame you, but you come along with us, and your pop will straighten things out later.
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: I'm afraid you'll have to go with them, Betsy.
- Betsy Brown: But I don't want to go back to the orphanage! I want to stay with you!
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: Now, don't you cry. Soon I'll come see you, and I'll get you out again.
- Sarah Wendling: Young lady, give your father a message from me that he's being disposessed.
- Barbara Shea: Oh, you can't!
- Sarah Wendling: I'm tearing the hotel down.
- Barbara Shea: But he paid his rent!
- Sarah Wendling: He's violated his lease by having all sorts of animals on the premises. He'll save himself a lot of trouble by getting right out.
- Roger Wendling: I'll have something to say about this.
- Sarah Wendling: I'm afraid you will not, as our attorney will inform you. Furthermore, Roger, if you continue your association with this woman...
- Roger Wendling: Continue it? I was just trying to get her to make it permanent!
