Quotes 

• Willamina : What's that?

  Quinn : My mom's favorite Christmas decoration from when she was a little girl. We used to hang it on the tree together.

  Willamina : It's nice. Don't let Ms. Stout see it, OK?

  Ms. Stout : Don't let Ms. Stout see what?

  Willamina : Nothing.

• Ms. Stout : What are my rules about toys?

  Janie : Hey, that's mine!,

  Ms. Stout : Not anymore!

  Janie : Please! You can't just...

  Ms. Stout : [snatches doll from Janie's hands]  Watch me! I've got some errands to run. Will, you're in charge. And the rest of you had better be fast asleep by the time I get back.

• Ms. Stout : What is going on in here? Willamina, who brought a puppy in here?

  Quinn : It was me, Ms. Stout. I found Paws.

  Ms. Stout : Nice try, Quinn, but I don't believe you. Don't think I don't know who the ringleader of this circus is. Willamina, come with me!

  [sees Paws' magic crystal] 

  Ms. Stout : Well, that's a pretty gem.

  [takes crystal out of Paws' collar] 

  Paws : No, don't! Not my crystal!

  Ms. Stout : [she picks up Paws]  And the rest of you, clean up this mess and take off those ridiculous dresses, now!

• Ms. Stout : I think it's time we show Quinn the consequences of breaking the rules. Inside! Willamina knows that when you break the rules, you get to spend all night down here in the basement.

  [she takes Quinn to show her the incinerator] 

  Ms. Stout : You don't wanna be locked down here all night, do you?

  [Quinn shakes her head no] 

  Ms. Stout : Well, good. I'm glad we understand each other.

  [to Willamina] 

  Ms. Stout : You're staying here, and no dinner for you, either.

• Willamina : Janie, where's Ms. Stout?

  Ms. Stout : Where have you been, missy?

  Willamina : I was just playing in the alley.

• Ms. Stout : What is that, a Christmas decoration?

  [snatches ornament out of Quinn's hands] 

  Quinn : No!

  Ms. Stout : [scoffs]  What are my rules about Christmas decorations?

  Quinn : My mom gave that to me! Please give it back!

  Ms. Stout : No! Now, get upstairs before you end up in the basement, too!

  [Quinn heads her way up and stops for a second] 

  Ms. Stout : Scoot!
