• Merle : [the Gogans have returned and want to take Pete away from Nora]  Okay lady, we're gonna take him whether you like it or not. Right boys?

  Grover : Right, Pa. Willie, you grab onto Pete, while I hold onto her.

  Willie : You grab Pete, I wanna hold her.

  Grover : I wanna hold her!

  Willie : I'm gonna hold her!

  [Willie and Grover push each other] 

  Merle : [separates them]  Alright, I'll settle this: You two grab the brat, I'LL hold her.

  Lena Gogan : If you think you're gonna hold her, like my boys wanna hold her, you're gonna be holdin' your head, ya understand?

• Willie , Grover : [singing]  Gonna snag him, gag him, drag him through town. / Put his head in the river, let the pump drown. / Trap him, strap him, wrap him in a sack. Yeah! / Tie him screamin' to a railroad track.

  [roll down the hill laughing] 

• Grover : Hey Ma, w-why don't we get ourselves another orphan, huh?

  Lena Gogan : Because I done paid our last $50 for Pete, plus $.50 legal fees, and we ain't got another $50 plus legal, that's why. Ya understand?
