"Don't darling ME unless you've sold those bonds."
"It's late—you've got to get out of here."
"What do you mean by having that man here?"
"I've known him since he was so high."
"I've broken with my family over you. Now you play square with me."
"Why, Honey, don't you TRUST me?"
"All I do is wait around here for you!"
"Shut up—shut up—you'll rouse the whole neighborhood!"
"You don't love me—you want to get rid of me."
"Now, now, Baby, I'm sorry. I was jealous. I just couldn't help it."
"He's fat and dumb—but he gives me diamonds."

"You let my Daddy alone—or I'll kill you!"
"Put that gun down! Do you hear me? They'll hang you!"

"We men of the world never have a chance to meet girls like you."
"Ruth what are you doing here?"
"Why, this is my boy friend."
"I saw you hugging her."
"You—you here with that jazz hound. You're disgracing the whole family."
"It's too late for that, Daddy. You beat me to it. I'm just following in your footsteps."
"All right, Honey, I believe you."
"You can't treat me this way! I've as much right to be here as YOU have!"
"That's different—I'm a man."
"Yes—well, I am a WOMAN."
"You—You'd hit me? You big brute—after all I've done for you—and put up with—for that old sap."
"Daddy—don't you hear? She doesn't care anything about you—but we do."
"You jazz hound—you stay away from my daughter."
"She didn't come here for him—she came to get rid of me."
"Mumsy—Mumsy—Daddy's gotten over his sick spell."
"It's too late now."
"Mr. Judson, aren't you forgetting something? Those bonds?"
"Now, you wouldn't like any unpleasant publicity, would you, Mr. Judson?"
"You're a fool, but you're MY fool!"
"We've saved the biggest present, Mumsy, to the last. We'll carry it in and unwrap it here."
"I've had a bitter, bitter lesson, Mama—won't you forgive me?"
