- Judy Peabody: Gee, that's beautiful, Pop. Who said that?
- Jerry B. 'J.B.': I did.
- MacFiske: I'm sure Mrs. Bates would be inconsolable, sir.
- Jerry B. 'J.B.': Naw, she wouldn't shed a tear. Well, maybe one or two just to be polite.
- Judy Peabody: What happened?
- Jerry B. 'J.B.': Me wife left me six months ago.

- Jerry B. 'J.B.': How dare you say you didn't know me!
- Tom P. Curtis: Well, you told me not to let her know who you are.
- Jerry B. 'J.B.': Never mind what I tell you to do, you do what I tell you.
- Tom P. Curtis: Ha, ha. I'll try to remember that.

- Jerry B. 'J.B.': Why does everyone side with Edith, I...
- Judy Peabody: Now, now, Pop. Till you get yourself straightened out, you better stay here with me.
