"This floating palace should put an end to that 'thing' Steamboat Bill is running."
"Looks like you'll have to look for a new river."
"I'll run on this river if I'm the only passager on the boat."
"Telegram from your son—it's been here four days."

"Tell him I made it myself."
"I'll just wait around until he is famished."
THE PRISONER'S SONG
Oh! I wish I had some one to love me—
Some one to call me their own;
Oh! I wish I had some one to live with—
'Cause I'm tired of living alone.
Oh! Please meet me tonight in the moonlight—
Please meet me tonight all alone,
For I have a sad story to tell you—
It's a story that's never been told.
I'll be carried to the new jail tomorrow—
Leaving my poor darling alone;
With the cold prison bars all around me,
And my head on a pillow of stone.
Now I have a grand ship on the ocean—
All mounted with silver and gold—
And before my poor darlin' would suffer,
Oh! that ship would be anchored and sold.
Now if I had the wings of an angel—
Over these prison walls I would fly,
And I'd fly to the arms of my poor darlin'
And there I'd be willing to die.
"I guess I better go."
"I've changed my mind—I want the bread."
"No—I don't think you do."
"Come, my boy—I was only foolin'."
"I know what it is—you're ashamed ot my baking."
"You talk to him, Sheriff."
"After all, the old bum is your father."
"That must of happened when the dough fell in the tool chest."
"Don't let him do that to you, Willie, bust him on the jaw."
"What—this shrimp hit me?"
"If he'd ever hit you on your jaw he'd break it."
"No, I might hurt you."
"Take him down to the receiving hospital."
