- Imogene Herdman: I'm going to be Mary in the Christmas play. And if you try to be, or raise your arm, you'll wish you didn't.
- Alice Wendlekin: I'm always Mary in the Christmas play.
- Imogene Herdman: Go ahead then. And next spring when the pussy-willows come out, I'm going to stick a pussy-willow so far down your ear where nobody can reach it. And it'll sit there and grow and grow and grow so for the rest of your life, there'll be a pussy-willow bush growing out of your ear.
- Maxine: [referring to a shack exploding] Who said the Herdmans did it?
- Beth Bradley: They said they did. Ralph said he was the one that stole the chemistry set from Old Man Johnson's garage.
- Alice Wendlekin: Call the police, then they can put Ralph in jail.
- Beth Bradley: Alice, nobody's going to call the police on them.
- Maxine: Because they're kids.
- Beth Bradley: No, because they burned down the jail.
