Quotes from Poor Little Rich Girl

Barbara Barry: Will you read to me from this?
Woodward: All right. Which one is it to be?
Barbara Barry: It's the one where Betsy runs away from the orphan asylum and meets Tony the organ grinder and his monkey.
Woodward: [reading] "Betsy Weir was two years old when her mother died. Because the family was poor, Betsy couldn't stay at home, so she was sent to an orphan asylum."
Barbara Barry: Which was an ugly red brick building far, far away from where Betsy used to live.
Woodward: Yes, from where Betsy used to live. "Then a young man came dancing around the corner in a green coat and bumped right into her. 'Excuse me,' said the young man. 'I'm always bumping into people. That's why they call me Puddin'-Head.'"

Jimmy Dolan: I know, but...
Jerry Dolan: Yeah, and a couple of crooks, too.
Jimmy Dolan: You're right. Everybody knows Dolan & Dolan, and they know we had the kid.
Jerry Dolan: Yeah, and if we run away, it'll look worse.
Jimmy Dolan: Let's go back and face them.


Jimmy Dolan: Don't forget, we've got another radio audition tomorrow. You know, this radio racket is a lot harder than Vaudeville used to be. Remember when we got married?
Jerry Dolan: No, and don't remind me. By the way, I'm getting tired of these radio auditions. If we don't land a job soon, I'm going home to my mother.
Jerry Dolan: Well, that's better than bringing the old bat here.
