- Mrs. Finney: Can't we have peace in this house even on New Year's Eve?
- Sadie: You got it mixed up with Christmas. New Year's Eve is when people go back to killing each other.
- Porter Hollingsway: OK. OK, you win. I'll marry you. How about it?
- Lora Mae Hollingsway: Thanks... for nothing.
- Porter Hollingsway: Now what kind of an answer is that?
- Lora Mae Hollingsway: I don't know. I just felt like it. That's all.
- Porter Hollingsway: We'll do all right, kid. We're starting out where it takes most marriages years to get, out in the open. No jokers. You'll see. You've made a good deal, Lora Mae.
- Mrs. Finney: [walking into the room] Lora Mae, honey, if you want me I'll be over at the Callahans' playing...
- Lora Mae Hollingsway: Happy new year, Ma. We're gonna get married.
- Mrs. Finney: ...Bingo!
- [She faints]
- Mrs. Finney: "Good night, Mother dear, and don't wait up." If a daughter of mine ever really talked like that I'd cut her tongue out!
- Mrs. Finney: Of all the times to quit a job, just before Christmas with all the bills due and five months due on the icebox!
- Sadie: You got to make up your mind whether you want your kids happy or your icebox paid up.
