Quotes

Mrs. Nichols : Betsy Abel. Two months ago she had an illegitimate baby, a baby boy, who is now in the custody of her mother. Her mother's boyfriend is a taxi driver with a police record. The girl won't tell who the father is; so, we have another inmate. She's assigned to your cottage. Well, I suppose we better look the little criminal over.
