Kate Clarkson: Jeannie Quayle
Quotes
-
Jeannie Quayle : I don't like Scott Pirie. Mary Strapp has to sit next to him. She says he smells.
Mrs. Quayle : Jeannie, he has all the farm chores to do before he comes to school in the morning.
Jeannie Quayle : He could still have a bath.
Mrs. Quayle : Could he? The Piries have no running water on their farm. Every drop they use has to be pumped up and heated on the stove.
Kit Quayle : Anyway, I like Scotty.
Jeannie Quayle : You would.
Kit Quayle : Just because you go and visit Josie Ellison in her big rich house.
-
Postmaster : Isn't that the little Ellison girl? Not often we see her in town.
Jeannie Quayle : Hello, Josie, how are you?
Josie Ellison : I'm very well, thank you, Jeannie.
Postmaster : How long ago was that infantile paralysis?
Charles E. Quayle : About two years. You know, she's a year younger than my daughter. You wouldn't think so, would you?
-
Jeannie Quayle : Hey, there's Scotty walking!
Kit Quayle : Hey, Scotty, where's Taff?
Scotty Pirie : Dunno. He broke out.
Kit Quayle : Can't you find him? Hey, maybe some straggler picked him up.
Jeannie Quayle : Or maybe he wandered off and can't find his way back.
Scotty Pirie : Not Taff.
Kit Quayle : Hey, maybe he fell in the river.
Jeannie Quayle : Or seen Mr. Ellison's herd of ponies on the other side and wanted to get to them.
Scotty Pirie : You don't know Taff! I tell you nothing would make him go near the water!
Kit Quayle : He could've found a dry crossing.
Scotty Pirie : I looked. There's not one near our place.
Jeannie Quayle : Well, where is he, then?
Scotty Pirie : He'll turn up. He always does.
-
Jeannie Quayle : Hey, there's that bush boy back.
Charles E. Quayle : How long was he gone this time?
Kit Quayle : Four days. I'll bet he had fun.
Charles E. Quayle : Don't use that cheap expression. You don't bet anything. Kit?
Kit Quayle : Yes, Dad?
Charles E. Quayle : Running away can become a habit. I hope you won't forget that.
-
Jeannie Quayle : Well, I think it's wicked and cruel of Scott Pirie trying to take Josie's pony.
Kit Quayle : It isn't her pony. It's Scotty's.
Charles E. Quayle : How do you know it is?
Kit Quayle : I just know.
Charles E. Quayle : Well, what if Josie Ellison just knows that it's hers?
Mrs. Quayle : But supposing it really is Scott Pirie's pony? What happens then?
Charles E. Quayle : Only a court of law can decide that.
Jeannie Quayle : If it did go to court, Father, who do you think would win?
Charles E. Quayle : Well, I'm not prepared to act as judge.
Jeannie Quayle : Come on, Father, which do you think?
Charles E. Quayle : In this case, possession is nine-tenths of the law.
-
Jeannie Quayle : Hey, Scotty, did you get Taff back?
Kit Quayle : Well, did you get the pony back or not?
Scotty Pirie : Mind your own business.
Kit Quayle : I'll bet he has.
Jeannie Quayle : Well, if he has, he ought to be ashamed of himself.
Kit Quayle : Hey, how'd he get Taff back across the river?
Jeannie Quayle : If that pony crossed the river, it must be Bo.
-
Jeannie Quayle : Kit, what happened? How it's going?
Kit Quayle : I don't know. Father, well, he seems to be...
Jeannie Quayle : What?
Kit Quayle : He seems to be trying to prove that no one can tell whose pony it is.
Jeannie Quayle : What will happen?
Kit Quayle : They'll give the pony to Josie.
Jeannie Quayle : Well, it is her pony.
Kit Quayle : Is it?
