Quotes 

• Mrs. Rose Rafferty : [Everyone is running outside to find that Delaney is hanging onto the rope that rings the church bell, which because of his hanging onto it, continues to ring]  Delaney, what are you doing up there? You're supposed to be painting.

  Mr. Delaney Rafferty : Rose, now don't start!

  Mrs. Rose Rafferty : Don't you yell at me!

  Mrs. Vicki Sims : Don't jump, Mr. Rafferty! You've got lots to live for!

  Mr. Delaney Rafferty : You think I don't know that?

• [Everybody has just spotted Rev. Hill returning to church with only his britches missing] 

  Bette Sims : How come he doesn't have any pants on?

  Mrs. Vicki Sims : Well, we - we don't know why, we - we don't question why.

  Bette Sims : Why don't we? We're all suppose to pretend he has pants on, when he doesn't?

  Mrs. Vicki Sims : [sappy-like]  Mm-hmm, Yes.

  Mrs. Vicki Sims : Mrs. Rafferty, we're fortunate we're not dead. After all, we don't even look like the Andrews Sisters.

• Mrs. Rose Rafferty : [pointing to the inside of her trench coat]  I got a tape recorder.

  Mrs. Vicki Sims : Is it on?

  Mrs. Rose Rafferty : No.

  Mrs. Vicki Sims : Why don't you put it on, so that it'll be running when we make the bet.

  Mrs. Rose Rafferty : Good idea.
