Mrs. J.H.P. Crane: I shouldn't be saying this, I know, but if you know anything about my necklace, I'd like to know. I can call these lads off, and I'd do it too, for your kid.
Jerry Day: Well, I'd like to help, Mrs. Crane, but I'm sure this is all we can do.

Uncle George: Think of that child.
Jerry Day: I am.

Penelope Day: Daddy doesn't know anything about raising children.

Penelope Day: Daddy, I wouldn't leave you if you didn't have Toni to take care of you.

Penelope Day: Did you steal that necklace? You must answer.
Jerry Day: Oh.
Penelope Day: Well?
Jerry Day: Well what, dear?
Penelope Day: Well, you must answer. Did you steal that necklace?
Jerry Day: No, I didn't steal it.
Penelope Day: Honor bright?
Jerry Day: You're a funny one.
Penelope Day: No, you must answer. That's the whole point. Honor bright?
Jerry Day: Honor bright.

Penelope Day: Here, I'm giving you this gold for an old pair of skates.
Boy With Skates: They aren't old. They're real ball-bearing, see?
Penelope Day: Do you know where gold comes from? From a hole in the ground, way down deep. They take a long time to find out. Months. Sometimes even years.
Boy With Skates: Oh, all right. Here.
Jerry Day: [to Toni] There's nothing funny about this.
Jerry Day: [to Penny] Penny, what are you doing?
Penelope Day: Putting on skates.
Jerry Day: Where did you get them?
Penelope Day: Oh, I just got them.
Jerry Day: I think you'd better give them back.
Boy With Skates: She gave me this gold for keeps. I don't want them back.
Jerry Day: Let me see that. Real gold, Penny?
Penelope Day: Yes.
Jerry Day: Honor bright, Penny?

Penelope Day: I've been sailing my boat around the island. I wanted to see where the pirates camped last night.
Jerry Day: Do you keep your boat padlocked to the dock so the pirates won't steal it?
Penelope Day: No, Uncle George keeps it padlocked so I won't sail it alone. He's afraid. You see, I didn't really sail around the island, not honor bright.
Jerry Day: Honor bright?
Penelope Day: Yes, you can only say that when it's honest-to-goodness true.
Jerry Day: Who taught you that?
Penelope Day: My mother.

Toni Carstairs Day: I've decided to write a book. "My Breathless Years."
Jerry Day: Will I be in it?
Toni Carstairs Day: Yes, but you won't stay long. I'll kill you off early.
Jerry Day: Not getting tired of it, by any chance?
Toni Carstairs Day: Never a dull moment, dear.

Toni Carstairs Day: If I want you, I'll have to take you as you are. I don't like it, Jerry, but I've been without you for a long time and I like that less. I know what I want and I don't get it, so I'm gonna do the next best thing. I'm gonna sell goldmines and chase trains with you for as long as you want me. If the trains wind up in rather ugly places, that's all right, too. We'll both be there togehter.
Jerry Day: Well, that wins. I guess I'm gonna get a job now. I guess I'll be anything you want, Toni, if you love me that much.

Toni Carstairs Day: You've always said there was no time for anything else but fooling.
