Quotes from Summer Magic
Gilly Carey: Gee, Dig, you liked the city, didn't you?
Digby Popham: It's like Pa always said. Cities are for city folk. The minute I got there, I got to wishin' I was back in Beulah.
Gilly Carey: Why?
Digby Popham: Well, I was just standin' on the street, lookin' at all the people rushin' by me. They looked like ants, and I could no more talk to them than I could talk to an ant.
Nancy Carey: Oh, Gilly, you can't take everything. There's just not gonna be room in our horrid new house, and we can't afford to pay storage on junk.
Gilly Carey: Why is my stuff always junk and your stuff always priceless? Here, you can have it, Peter.
Peter Carey: Thanks! I'll put it with my junk.
Nancy Carey: A lot of good that did.
