J.M. Kerrigan: Pop Reilly

Quotes 

• Joe Cork : Say, Pop, I got a terrific idea last night.

  Pop Reilly : Yeah, so did I; but, there wasn't a drop in the house.

• Pop Reilly : It's a funny thing, Joe, how you always manage to drop in just when we're startin' to eat.

  Joe Cork : Thanks, pop. I'll have a cup of coffee with you. Might go for a block of wheatcakes, too.

  Colleen Reilly : Sorry, Joe, I didn't have time to make wheatcakes this morning.

  Joe Cork : Oh, that's all right. I'll eat anything you got.

  Colleen Reilly : And that's no idle boast.

• Colleen Reilly : I gotta start for work. I won't have time to do these dishes.

  Pop Reilly : Never mind 'em, Colleen. I'll stack 'em in the sink and they'll be ready to wash when you come home.

  Colleen Reilly : [appreciatively]  Thanks, Pa.

• Colleen Reilly : [after a knock on their door]  See who it is, pop.

  Pop Reilly : I regret to say I am busy.
