• Annie Marble : Oh, Will. Will, could you, could you manage to let me have a little something for Winnie's school? They spoke to her again about it, yesterday. It's very awkward for her.

  William Marble : For the love of...

  Annie Marble : Oh, it'd be such a pity for her to have to give up the course. She's getting along so nicely in her shorthand.

  William Marble : I can't do it, Annie.

  Winnie Marble : Oh, please Daddy, I wish you could. If I can only keep on a little bit longer, then I'll be a full fledged stenographer. Then, I can help.

  Annie Marble : That's right, Will.

• Winnie Marble : Have you seen many kangaroos?

  James Medland : Kangaroos? Why, rather, I, I've hunted them quite a bit.

  Winnie Marble : Oh, I say! Ha-ha.

• Winnie Marble : Dad! Breakfast will be ready soon. It's Sunday morning, kippers.

• William Marble : Who's that?

  Annie Marble : Why, what's the matter, dear?

  William Marble : Nothing.

  Winnie Marble : Hello, Mr. Hammond.

  Hammond : Hello, yourself, young woman. Hello, Will.

  William Marble : Oh, it's you.

  Hammond : Who did you think it was? Rita Garbo! Ha-ha-ha! Hello, Mrs. M.

  Annie Marble : Nicely, thank you.

  Hammond : That's good. Well, Will, how's the world treating you?

  William Marble : Alright. And you?

  Hammond : Mustn't grumble.

• William Marble : Well, ha! Here's to ya!

  Winnie Marble : Will, have you made some money?

  William Marble : A little, nothing much. Just about enough to keep us all in luxury for the rest of our lives. That's all.

  Annie Marble : Dad?

  Winnie Marble : How much do you mean?

  William Marble : Well, the right side of 30,000 pounds, shall we say.

  Annie Marble : 30,000 pounds!

  Winnie Marble : 30,000, Daddy!

  Annie Marble : Will, how can you have made all that?

  William Marble : Perhaps 'cause I'm not quite a fool as you thought, Annie. Ha! I gambled in Francs and it happened to come off. You wouldn't understand.

  Winnie Marble : Oh, that's marvelous!

• William Marble : That's an idea. You need a good holiday, Annie. How would you like a stay at a swanky hotel? Somewhere larger where there's a band and a pier. Hey, Winnie?

  Winnie Marble : Oh, that'd be marvelous, Daddy! Wouldn't it, Mum? We'd meet lots of nice people, ladies and gentlemen, I mean.

  William Marble : Oh, you'll be in with all the nobs, Winnie. You'll be looking down at your old father, likely enough, before long.

  Winnie Marble : Oh, no, Dad, I won't. Never. Mum, we'll have to dress every night for dinner. I shall need lots of new clothes! I'll go make a list! Oh, this is too marvelous!

• Annie Marble : Winnie, do you smoke cigarettes?

  Winnie Marble : Yes. Cigars don't agree with me.
