Shirley Blake:
Mother, I dressed myself, and I put my clothes away, all folded and everything.
Mary Blake: Well, you're your mother's little angel, that's what you are.
Shirley Blake: No, I'm not, because angels have wings, like these.
Mary Blake: Those are your daddy's pilot wings.
Shirley Blake: I know, and now he's really an angel, isn't he?
Mary Blake: Yes, darling.
Mary Blake: Well, you're your mother's little angel, that's what you are.
Shirley Blake: No, I'm not, because angels have wings, like these.
Mary Blake: Those are your daddy's pilot wings.
Shirley Blake: I know, and now he's really an angel, isn't he?
Mary Blake: Yes, darling.
Shirley Blake:
My daddy could fly better than anyone in the whole world, couldn't he?
James 'Loop' Merritt: That's right, better than anyone in the whole world. You know, your daddy and I were pals ever since we were about as big as you are. That's why I'm your godfather.
Shirley Blake: And then one day he cracked up and went away to Heaven, didn't he?
James 'Loop' Merritt: That's right.
Shirley Blake: I'll bet when I'm a pilot, I won't crack up.
James 'Loop' Merritt: When you're ready to be a pilot, we'll get you a big non-crackable ship. That reminds me, I found a scrapbook the other day with some pictures of your daddy and me in it. Would you like to see?
Shirley Blake: Oh, yes.

Shirley Blake: Oh, yes.
Shirley Blake:
Ooh, we're going up!
James 'Loop' Merritt: That's right, we're going way up. Do you know where we're going?
Shirley Blake: No.
James 'Loop' Merritt: We're going right up to Heaven. You know, Shirley, Heaven is a very nice place. If we're good, we'll all live there someday.
Shirley Blake: Yes, I know.
James 'Loop' Merritt: My mother and father are there now.
Shirley Blake: So's my daddy. We're up pretty high now. Are we near Heaven?
James 'Loop' Merritt: That's right, we're going way up. Do you know where we're going?
Shirley Blake: No.

Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins:
It's just a bit of a Christmas gift for Shirley.
Mary Blake: You're so kind. I bought a few things for her, not very much of course. Things were different when her father was alive.
Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins: Yes, the poor young fellow. But it must be a comfort to know you're doing all you can for her. She's such a sweet child. Not like that Joy. There's a brat if ever one lived.

Mary Blake:
It's so wonderful of you boys to give Shirley her Christmas party.
James 'Loop' Merritt: We're getting a big kick out of it ourselves.
Mary Blake: She'll be so surprised. She doesn't expect much, you know.
James 'Loop' Merritt: You get her down to the airport as early in the morning as you can.
Mary Blake: I may not be able to come with her, but I'll be down just as soon as I can get away.
