Mrs. Rogers: Mary Lou, what are you doing? You'll get soaked!
Mary Lou Rogers: [playing in the rain] I won't, Mother, just my clothes!
Mrs. Rogers: Those children... and that includes you.
Mr. Rogers: What have I done?
Mrs. Rogers: Ever since you heard of those Vanderpool pups, our dinner table's been a regular battlefield.
Mr. Rogers: And it's going to stop. I'm not going to tolerate any more of Sonny's nonsense. Wait till you see Queenie, and you'll know why I'm so crazy to have - I mean, for Sonny to have one of her pups.

Harry Vanderpool: I'm afraid I have some bad news, Mr. Rogers. They'll be no pup for you. Queenie ran away.
Mr. Rogers: What?
Harry Vanderpool: She jumped out of our trainer's car.
Mary Lou Rogers: Sonny found a dog under the bridge. She's gonna have pups.
Harry Vanderpool: Let me see her, I'll bet it's Queenie! What's the matter?
Mr. Rogers: Sonny took her out to be destroyed.
Harry Vanderpool: What? Destroyed?
Mary Lou Rogers: Yes, Daddy made him take her to the pound.

Mary Lou Rogers: Hello, Sonny, what have you got there?
Sonny Rogers: Phyllis, do you know anything about dogs?
Phyllis: Sonny Rogers, how did you ever happen to bring home a thing like that?
Mary Lou Rogers: Did somebody throw it away, Sonny?
Sonny Rogers: Oh, shut up, both of you.
Phyllis: But Sonny, I thought you hated dogs.
Sonny Rogers: Can't you see the poor dog's sick? We've gotta take care of it, and you've gotta help.
Mary Lou Rogers: Are you gonna let Dad and Mother see her?
Sonny Rogers: We better give her a bath first.
Mary Lou Rogers: Oh, goody, goody, goody! We're gonna give the dog a bath!

Sonny Rogers: [waking up] Oh, Mary Lou, what's eating you?
Mary Lou Rogers: [singing] Good morning to you! Happy birthday to you!
Sonny Rogers: Gee, so it is! Hooray!
Mary Lou Rogers: Hooray!

Sonny Rogers: Come on, do I get that dog?
Harry Vanderpool: Yeah, yeah, you can have her.
Mr. Rogers: Here, what's all this fighting about?
Mary Lou Rogers: Oh, Sonny, Sonny, come quick! Something's happened!

Sonny Rogers: It'll only get underfoot and chew things up!
Mr. Rogers: But not for long! A spaniel's so smart, he can be trained in no time. Why, before he's a year old, I'll be able to take him on hunting trips. That is, uh, if you're willing to spare him, son.
Mary Lou Rogers: Why don't you just buy him for yourself, Daddy? You're the one that wants him.

Sonny Rogers: Nobody'll find you here, Beauty. Mary Lou, sneak in the house and see if you can get me some food for the dog.
Mary Lou Rogers: Okay.
