Barbara Barry: Do you know to play piggyback?
Simon Peck: No, I don't think I do.
Barbara Barry: Oh, it's easy. Stand up. Now turn around.
Simon Peck: Like this?
Barbara Barry: Now I put my arms around your neck, and you go like this, "Ride a cock to Banbury Cross to see a fine lady upon a white horse. Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she shall have music wherever she goes!" You run around and around while you sing it. Take my legs.
Simon Peck: [running and singing] Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross, to see a fine lady upon a white horse!
[a man enters his office]
Simon Peck: You get out! Can't you see I'm in conference?
[He continues running and singing]
Simon Peck: Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes...
Barbara Barry: Woah!
Simon Peck: What?
Barbara Barry: Do you always tell people to get out?
Simon Peck: I do when I'm engaged in important business!

Stebbins: That's the third sneeze.
Collins: I'm afraid you'll have to go to bed.
Barbara Barry: But I'm not sick. I feel fine!
Woodward: Oh, Collins, she's perfectly well. A sneeze is nothing to be alarmed at.
Collins: Maybe so, But I'm responsible for the child. Come along, dear.
Woodward: The child sneezes, and you'd think the world has come to an end. Why can't they leave her alone? She's a perfectly normal, healthy child. The way they carried on here, you'd think she was made of glass! Something ought to be done.
Collins: How Mr. Barry can stand that woman is beyond me.
Woodward: You can't expect a widower and a man as busy as Mr. Barry to notice everything that goes on in the house.
