Quotes from

Dimples: I brought it back.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Brought what back?
Dimples: The cuckoo clock. I stole it last night. It's a funny thing about me. I'm so wicked. Isn't it awful?
Mrs. Caroline Drew: You stole this?
Dimples: Right under your very nose. I really don't know what's to become of me, I'm so bad. The Professor says he doesn't know. He says I'm gonna wind up in the "pinchitentiary," if not in jail.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Are you sure someone else didn't take this?
Dimples: Oh, my goodness! You don't mean the Professor, do you? He wouldn't take it, he's too honest! He made me bring it back!


Cleo Marsh: But I thought you had money, Allen.
Allen Drew: I did. Enough, anyway. I guess I didn't take care of it very well.
Cleo Marsh: Well, what are you going to do now?
Allen Drew: I suppose I could get a job somewhere, and maybe save up enough money to do the show. That needn't change our plans about marriage any, Cleo. I don't suppose money is very important to people who are really in love.
Cleo Marsh: You can say that because you've always had money.
Allen Drew: Perhaps.
Cleo Marsh: I'm afraid this changes everything.
Allen Drew: Then you're not really in love with me.


Emery T. Hawkins: Mr. Drew, you told us he would pay us our money.
Allen Drew: Yes, of course. Pay them, Professor.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Well, I, uh, I don't like their attitude, Allen. I've never heard of people doing business in this way.
Allen Drew: Why argue? Pay them and get it over with.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Well, the truth is, I find myself a little short.
Allen Drew: Short? How much?
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Well, around eight hundred dollars.
Allen Drew: But that's all the money I gave you!
Prof. Eustace Appleby: It wasn't my fault, Allen. I was cheated!
Allen Drew: That's all the money I had! I was stupid enough to trust a scoundrel like you, you blundering old fool!
