Mrs. Forrest
- Katy Coombs: I want this one!
- Mrs. Forrest: This bear was better! He had shiny black eyes and his fur was all soft!
- Katy Coombs: Fine, then you can keep that bear and I'll keep this one.
- Albie: Mrs. Forrest, I think it's time to settle accounts.
- Mrs. Forrest: Yes, of course. But, dear, could you run downstairs first and get me some lunch?
- Albie: Get it yourself, Rosie Miller.
- Mrs. Forrest: "Rosie Miller"? Albie, I don't recall ever giving you permission to call me by my professional name.
- Albie: Rosie, I'm gonna' tell *you* what to do for once. You're gonna' write me a check... for 2,000 pounds.
- Mrs. Forrest: [taken aback] Two thousand pounds?
- Albie: Then we're gonna' wave bye-bye to you, me and Clarine. Then you can go back to vaudeville or roll-a-hoop... or talk to the spirits all night. Because we won't be around.
- Mrs. Forrest: Albie, you and Clarine wouldn't desert me, leave me alone in this big house after all these years?
- Albie: I'm sure you'll manage, madam. Unless you give me 2,000 quid, Rosie, I'm gonna' have to report to the police that you've become a kidnapper. You've got Katy locked in the nursery, haven't you? HAVEN'T YOU!
- Mrs. Forrest: [after a stunned pause] Go get me my checkbook.
- Miss Henley: Peter, you mustn't be so greedy.
- Mrs. Forrest: Oh, Miss Henley, it's Christmas. Let them fill themselves.
- Miss Henley: You always spoil them, Mrs. Forrest.
- Mrs. Forrest: Oh, but they're so beautiful. Isn't it a shame there isn't a way to make time stand still? Keeping the children just as they are tonight?
- Mrs. Forrest: [to Katy, using the same words she said to the mummy] Now, darling, be a good girl. Sleep tight. Mommy will see you in the morning.
