Quotes5

  • Barbara Shea: Now don't you stay up listening to that music. You just shut your eyes and go right to sleep.
  • Betsy Brown: I'll shut my eyes, but it'll probably come in through my ears.
  • Barbara Shea: [on the telephone] This is Mr. Shea's daughter. My father isn't home right n - Well, I'm awfully sorry the boys are rehearsing, but I'll be glad to...
  • Sarah Wendling: [on the telephone] I'm tired of warning you people. I won't have my nights disturbed by a lot of noisy riffraff. I won't put up with it any longer!
  • Barbara Shea: I'm sorry, Miss Wendling, I'll go right up and...
  • Sarah Wendling: [hangs up] .
  • Betsy Brown: What's wrong?
  • Barbara Shea: She called us a lot of riffraff.
  • Betsy Brown: Who?
  • Barbara Shea: Our landlady.
  • Betsy Brown: I didn't know we had one.
  • Barbara Shea: Well, if you ever see a pumpkin in one of the windows next door and it isn't Halloween, that's our landlady.
  • William J. 'Pop' Shea: Well, Mr. Wendling, I can't possibly raise the money in five days.
  • Roger Wendling: Well, Mr. Shea, I was going to make a suggestion before your daughter so graciously knighted me. I was going to suggest that perhaps I could lend you the twenty-five hundred. Why not?
  • William J. 'Pop' Shea: You'd lend...? Thanks a million!
  • Betsy Brown: Thanks TWO million- one for me!
  • Barbara Shea: I'm sorry, but we can't accept your generous offer.
  • William J. 'Pop' Shea: Why not, Barbara?
  • Barbara Shea: Because I don't know how we'd be able to pay it back, and we're not going to be at the mercy of some spiteful old moneybag who calls us a lot of riffraff!
  • Sarah Wendling: Young lady, I've come here to tell you to let this nephew of mine alone. You let him pay your rent for you, didn't you?
  • Roger Wendling: Aunt Sarah!
  • Barbara Shea: I don't have to listen to this!
  • Roger Wendling: Aunt Sarah, that was uncalled for, unkind, and untrue!
  • Betsy Brown: Uncle Roger didn't give us any money! We got it from - from someone else.
  • Sarah Wendling: So it's Uncle Roger now, is it? Is Miss Shea your mother?
  • Betsy Brown: Practically.
  • Roger Wendling: Betsy is Mr. Shea's adopted child.
  • Sarah Wendling: Adopted, eh? So they brought her into this wholesome atmosphere, nice place for a child. Why, she's using her as a decoy, and you don't you have the sense to realize it!
  • Sarah Wendling: Young lady, give your father a message from me that he's being disposessed.
  • Barbara Shea: Oh, you can't!
  • Sarah Wendling: I'm tearing the hotel down.
  • Barbara Shea: But he paid his rent!
  • Sarah Wendling: He's violated his lease by having all sorts of animals on the premises. He'll save himself a lot of trouble by getting right out.
  • Roger Wendling: I'll have something to say about this.
  • Sarah Wendling: I'm afraid you will not, as our attorney will inform you. Furthermore, Roger, if you continue your association with this woman...
  • Roger Wendling: Continue it? I was just trying to get her to make it permanent!
