Pa Harrington
- Ma Harrington: My neck hurts. I think I've dislocated my vertebrae again.
- Pa Harrington: Never mind the symptoms - - you can have the couch. Maybe you don't believe it, but I've had a pain the neck ever since we married.
- Pa Harrington: Your ma has her good points, Pat.
- Patricia Harrington: She sure has. They stick out all over her.
- Pa Harrington: [berating Ma] I wouldn't ask a dog to live in this house. As far as that's concerned, a dog wouldn't do it. We never were able to keep a dog. Every dog we ever owned ran away with a tramp.
- Ma Harrington: Don't say ain't.
- Pa Harrington: I've said ain't for twenty-five years.
- Ma Harrington: That ain't so!
- Patricia Harrington: Star light, star bright; First star I've seen tonight. Wish I may, wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight.
- Pa Harrington: What did you wish, Baby?
- Patricia Harrington: I wish I were beautiful and seductive.
- Pa Harrington: You are, Baby - - you're marvelous.
- Patricia Harrington: You think so, Pop, but nobody else does. I'd like to be entrancing, alluring, ravishing - like a stocking advertisement.
- Pa Harrington: For twenty-five years you've been whining and nagging and bawling and making everybody's life miserable...
