- 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!
- Jimmy Clayton: Eight bucks from the Tri-State Field and five from the Downs. Now how much we short?
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: About twenty-one hundred.
- Jimmy Clayton: National debt! I thought I was bringing home the bacon.
- Flossie: And you laid an egg!
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: Thanks just the same. You're a great guy, Jimmy.
- Flossie: That goes for me too, bubble-brain.
- Jimmy Clayton: Is that straight from the balcony, Juliet? Must be my streamline personality. Guess I ain't as bad as I look, eh?
- Flossie: You couldn't be!
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: That does it! From now on whenever you talk to me, you can start the conversation with goodbye!
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: I hope this check don't bounce.
- Roger Wendling: I don't think it will.
- Jimmy Clayton: Pop, here's twenty-five bucks more!
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: It's all right, Jimmy, I got it! I got the twenty-one hundred!
- Jimmy Clayton: What? Just when we made the supreme sacrifice! Look!
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: What happened?
- Jimmy Clayton: We done a striptease in a pawn shop!
- Jimmy Clayton: What is it, Pop?
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: It's for Betsy. Perhaps you could come back tomorrow morning?
- Detective: Sorry, old man, I don't like this any more than you do, but I got to take her back tonight.
- Jimmy Clayton: But you can't take Betsy back to the orphan asylum! Know why? 'Cause Betsy ain't here! She's down south in dear old Dixie.
- Flossie: Sure, visiting with my folks.
- Jimmy Clayton: Oh, I wish I was in Dixie! Away, away!
- Detective: Hey, are you crazy?
- Jimmy Clayton: Yeah! Uh, no! You see, we don't want to lose Betsy. That's why I lied to you. She's up in her room.
- Sarah Wendling: Officer, there's the child you're after.
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: You let her alone!
- Detective: Now, just a minute...
- Betsy Brown: Don't you hurt Pop! Don't you dare hurt Pop!
- Detective: We're not hurting anyone, little girl. There's no need to get excited, but we've got orders to pick her up.
- Betsy Brown: No, no! I want to stay with Pop!
- Detective: Well, I don't blame you, but you come along with us, and your pop will straighten things out later.
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: I'm afraid you'll have to go with them, Betsy.
- Betsy Brown: But I don't want to go back to the orphanage! I want to stay with you!
- William J. 'Pop' Shea: Now, don't you cry. Soon I'll come see you, and I'll get you out again.
