- Regina Mason: Father, why don't you stand up for yourself; are you a man or a mouse?
- Reginald Mason: I must be a man; your mother is afraid of mice.
- Margie Blake: What kind of a mind have you got?
- 'Bittsy' Conway: Well, my eyes and ears ain't painted on.
- Regina Mason: That's for Jonathan. Mother, you can't open Jonathan's mail! It... it's a felony!
- Victoria: Yes, I know. So I think I'll burn up the manuscript. That'll be arson. And then I'll put Jonathan out. And that'll be eviction!
- Reginald Mason: You won't be able to put him out... he left!
