Quotes 

• Kate Bence : My, take your hat off. No wonder you're getting bald.

  Dad : If I wasn't bald, I wouldn't need it.

• Jane Wade : Thought I'd come over, Ma. It gets so lonesome with Ben away in Atlantic City.

  Dad : What is he doin' over there?

  Jane Wade : You know, at the Shriners Convention.

  Dad : Yeah, he can get it over there.

• Dad : This family pays as much attention to me as if I was whittled out of pine.

• Dad : Be careful going around that corner, Duke. Sometimes the traffic comes around lickety-split.

• Dad : Your Ma was the prettiest woman then. That's a long time ago.

• Dad : I tell you, Kate has got a lot of sense. I have always said that. Darn, level-headed girl! Of course, you can't - notice it.

• Dad : Why did you marry my daughter?

  Kempy : Well, sir, because I wanted her, ever since I read her book. And it says in it a girl always admires a man that gets what he wants. And I always try to make an effort to be that way.

• Kempy : I'll be back for my wife in the morning, Mr. Bonce. Or, whatever your name is.

  Dad : It's Bence! Doggone it, Bence!

• Dad : Oh, come on, Ruthie. Don't stand there gaping after that pirate of a plumber.

• Dad : I don't care if it is legal, that doesn't give him any right to throw me out of here before I get a chance to put my pants on!
