- George 'Poppy' Rose: [talking to summer school teacher] Sister, if it had been me, I'd have bitten *both* your ankles!
- Anna Perrott Rose: What's that supposed to be?
- George 'Poppy' Rose: A woman.
- Anna Perrott Rose: Not a very good likeness...
- George 'Poppy' Rose: I had to draw it from memory.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: [after Teeny says a short prayer] Why don't you just say "On your mark, get set, go?"
- George 'Poppy' Rose: [to the dog after the kids give an anonymous vote] It was anonymous eh? Who did you vote for?
- George 'Poppy' Rose: [Trying to get past a boy and Jane eating donuts on a crowded staircase] I hate to come between you and the donuts, but that's life.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: [after Jimmy-John asks if he can ask the other kids if he can stay] I hope you've got a good lawyer.
- Anna Perrott Rose: This child has been through a lot. She's a disturbed adolescent.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: I'm a disturbed adult.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: [as raft self inflates under his desk and he's trying to hold it down] I'm holding down more than I can handle as it is.

- Jimmy: Can I get my bike before he breaks my chain? OWWAH!
- [Dad drops Jimmy John's leg brace on Jimmy shins & feet]
- George 'Poppy' Rose: Heavy, Isn't It. Give it to your mother.
- [when his parents asked who was taking Jimmy for a ride with his family and friends, Timmy canceled the ride. Dad dropped the brace in a most passive-aggressive way]
- George 'Poppy' Rose: You'll have to control these generous impulses of your's.
- [Anna kisses Poppy on the cheek]
- George 'Poppy' Rose: Well, not all of them.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: Well, dinner's over. The brandy and cigars come later. All right, everybody in the kitchen. Help the butler with the dishes.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: Remember, Harry, the women of this world are always trusting, noble and unselfish. Here's to not being one of them.
- Anna Perrott Rose: Will you please go to bed. Go on. This is woman's work.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: In this house, woman's work is never done - not even started.
- George 'Poppy' Rose, Teenie: [singing] Row, Row, Row your boat, Gently down the stream, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a dream

- Anna Perrott Rose: You're a good kid, Poppy.
- [kiss]
- Anna Perrott Rose: I think I'll adopt you.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: Let's keep this on a husband and wife level.
- [squeezes Anna]
- Anna Perrott Rose: Please, I've got to do the dishes.
- George 'Poppy' Rose: Always got to do something. Do the dishes. Feed the cat. Feed the dog. Feed the children. Did it ever occur to you that I might need...
- [Anna sticks the sponge in George's mouth, he removes it]
- George 'Poppy' Rose: Man does not live by bread alone.
- [kiss]
- Anna Perrott Rose: Oh! I think I better go and see what the children are doing.
