• Pa McClune : You go to bed, Ma. I'll make the coffee.

  Ma McClune : She's all right. She's only had a drink. She ain't used to it.

  Gertie : She's soused to the gill. My she must have had a lot of fun.

• Gertie : You lay off her, Pa. You give her a line like you did this morning, she'll never come back. You're just an old fashioned father. The kind you see in the movies. That stuff don't go any more. Let the girl have her fling. She's all right.

  Pa McClune : I guess I am a bit old time.

• Pa McClune : I've finished.

  Blondie : Not with me, Pa?

  Pa McClune : No, Blondie. I'll never finish with you, never. What I meant was I've finished being an old time Pa. I've thought it over carefully. A father shouldn't - shouldn't try to stop a kid from doing something that she wants to do. That is, unless, its very wrong. And you never could do anything very wrong. Could you, Blondie?

  Blondie : You know I couldn't, Pa.

• Pa McClune : It's fine. It's really fine. Don't mind me, Blondie. I'm an old crab. I don't mean to be. It-it is fine. It's really fine.
