Erford Gage credited as playing...
Jason Hoag
- Jason Hoag, Poet: I'm a terrible failure, Mary. A book clerk by day, a poet by night. Not a very good one. But if you'll trust me, in this one thing I won't fail. I'll find your sister.
- Mrs. Bella Romari: Why can't everyone be happy like we are? Laugh and have a good time. That poor little one - so sad because she can't find her sister. And that man with her, he doesn't make her laugh - just sits and talk.
- Jason Hoag, Poet: We are happy Mrs. Romari. You have everything, and I have nothing to lose.
- Jason Hoag, Poet: I'm under orders to make you laugh. In Mrs. Romari's mind, poetry and humor has some strange affinity, which they don't have in fact. She wants me to play the fool for you but... suddenly Miss Gibson, I feel as sad as you do.
- Mary Gibson: Well, then, I've spoiled your dinner. Your food won't digest and your wine will sour.
