Mabel Anderson
- Mabel Anderson: I used to go there in the summer as a kid. You know, before the war.
- Everett 'Pop' Cardetti: Which war?
- Mabel Anderson: [after having just been hit in the face with a snowball] You know, snow tastes just as bad as water.
- Mabel Anderson: Beautiful, isn't it?
- Everett 'Pop' Cardetti: What is?
- Mabel Anderson: The music.
- Everett 'Pop' Cardetti: What music?
- Mabel Anderson: The music they're playing.
- Everett 'Pop' Cardetti: Oh, yeah.
- [pause]
- Everett 'Pop' Cardetti: What made you think of it?
- Mabel Anderson: Think of what?
- Everett 'Pop' Cardetti: The music.
- Mabel Anderson: [said sarcastically] Oh, I don't know; my mind was wandering, I guess.
- Mabel Anderson: [Mable thinks she's talking to Pop, when in reality they are on two opposite sets of stairs. She realizes this and turns to an onlooker - a young lady sitting at one of the tables] Oh listen, girlie! Don't worry about me. I always talk to myself... You see, I'm my own grandmother and I have to keep the old girl interested!
- Mabel Anderson: It must be love.
- Penelope "Penny" Carrol: How could I fall in love with a common gambler?
- Mabel Anderson: Penny, when a man takes a little quarter and builds it into a bankroll that would choke a horse, and makes my little ten dollars grow into hundreds, I'd call him an uncommon gambler.
