- Youth at Soda Fountain: Hey, Gramps. I'll have a choc malt, heavy on the choc, plenty of milk, four spoons of malt, two scoops of vanilla ice cream, one mixed and one floating.
- Samuel Fulton: [Sardonically] Would you like to come in Wednesday for a fitting? Thank you.
- Charles Blaisdell: Just exactly what are your intentions toward my daughter?
- Samuel Fulton: Honorable, Mr. Blaisdell - strictly honorable.
- Harriet Blaisdell: You mean you wanna marry her?
- Samuel Fulton: Nothing would delight me more.
- Charles Blaisdell: But, but you're over 60. Millicent's not even 20. You're three times as old as she is.
- Samuel Fulton: That's true. But then, when I'm 80, she'll be 40. I'll be only twice as old then. Who knows, if I live long enough, she may even catch up with me.
- Samuel Fulton: The more I see of that Pennock boy, the less I like him. Sometimes I think his head must be made of cork. It's always at the end of a bottle.
- Samuel Fulton: [Looking at her picture on the wall] You've a lovely family, Millicent. It could have been my family if you hadn't been so darn obstinate!
- Samuel Fulton: I'm Smith. John Smith.
- Roberta Blaisdell: Are you the John Smith who was in love with Pocahontas?
- Samuel Fulton: What, do I look 300 years old? Don't answer that.
- Dr. Wallace: What's this? One... two... eight! You're supposed to smoke one cigar a day.
- Samuel Fulton: I'm six months ahead of schedule.
- Charleston Dancer: [Dancing] C'mon, gramps! Shake a leg!
- Samuel Fulton: If I shake a leg, young, lady, it'll be against your derriere.
- Dr. Wallace: [to Fuller, his patient] Don't eat ruffage, don't drink liquor, don't smoke and don't worry. You'll outlive all your aunts whoever they are.
- Samuel Fulton: I have a feeling you're going to be a captivating creature.
- Roberta Blaisdell: Is that good or bad?
- Samuel Fulton: Good for you but bad for the boys.
- Charles Blaisdell: [to his daughter] Roberta, there is no disgrace in being poor. Remember that.
- Samuel Fulton: That's about the only good thing you can say about it.
- Howard Blaisdell: My bootlegger says this is real bathtub gin.
- Samuel Fulton: [Sourly] He must have been taking a bath when he made it.
- Roberta Blaisdell: [to her dog Penny] Gee, you're getting fat.
- Samuel Fulton: Why shouldn't he? He eats everything and anything, including two of my trousers and three of my best shirts.
- Carl Pennock: That's what I like about you, Millie. You've got such a great sense of humor.
- Roberta Blaisdell: She has to have or she wouldn't go out with you.
- Carl Pennock: Quiet, brat!
- Millicent Blaisdell: [Coming down the stairs for their date] Hello, Carl.
- Carl Pennock: Hot diggity, Millie. You're the cat's meow!
- Dan Stebbins: [to Millie] I get the heebie jeebies when I think of him telling everybody you're his Sheba.
- Samuel Fulton: [to Howard Blaisdell] Well, I know something about cards. You see, when I was young, I spent a lot of time up in the Yukon. They play a lotta cards up there. They play cards every night and the nights are six months long. So, I became quite an expert. I played cards one night for three months straight.
- Charles Blaisdell: This is preposterous.
- Samuel Fulton: Is it preposterous that one should love your daughter?
- Lester Pennock: You, you're after her money, aren't you?
- Samuel Fulton: Aren't you, Mr. Pennock? You didn't encourage your son until the Blaisdell's had money.
- Charles Blaisdell: Oh, but do you think for one moment we'd tolerate having you for a son-in-law?
- Dan Stebbins: You know, I'm beginning to think you're a phony?
- Samuel Fulton: Well, what do you mean by that?
- Samuel Fulton: You're not a painter - you're a preacher.
- Dan Stebbins: Oh, that.
