Quotes 

• Jake Marley : [Jake and Ebbie have just taken over Dobson's]  I'm sorry, F.C.

  Mr. Dobson : No, you're not. You two must have been maneuvering behind our backs for months... years. Why not? You've tripled the store's profit, you and Ms. Scrooge. Elizabeth... you always knew how to read the numbers.

  Ebbie : Thank you, F.C., but I promise you it was nothing personal, it's just business.

  Mrs. Dobson : It wasn't just business for us, Ebbie. Dobson's was our family... we built it up from almost nothing and we've taken great pride in what we've accomplished. I will miss not coming in here every morning, but you mustn't worry for us... because this store is not all that we've accomplished in our lives. We have a wonderful family, caring friends, things we love to do... each other.

  [to her husband] 

  Mrs. Dobson : Let's go home.

  [They start to leave, then Mrs. Dobson turns back to Ebbie] 

  Mrs. Dobson : Oh, Ebbie... what happened to that sweet young girl I used to know?

  Jake Marley : Dog eat dog world, Mrs. Dobson. Not her fault.
