Mrs. Brown: What's the meaning of goodness if there isn't a little badness to overcome?
Mi Taylor: Some day you'll learn that greatness is only the seizing of opportunity - clutching with your bare hands 'til the knuckles show white.
Donald Brown: I was sick all night.
Malvolia "Mally" Brown: That's a lie, Donald. You weren't sick.
Donald Brown: I could've been sick if I wanted to.
Mr. Hallam: So you're to win the gelding, are you Velvet?
Velvet: Oh, of course I'm to win.
Mr. Hallam: There are ways of arranging it, aren't there? And your father's a clever man.
Velvet: Oh, I didn't bother him, Mr. Hallam. I just arranged it with God.
Edwina Brown: I'm so angry I could shake you.
Malvolia "Mally" Brown: I only wanted to explain about the polish.
Edwina Brown: ...so you told Miss Sims I was meeting a boy! It's a wonder you didn't tell her who and where.
Malvolia "Mally" Brown: I didn't know where.
Velvet: He's beautiful, Mr. Ede. What's his name?
Farmer Ede: Name? He's a murderous pirate, not deserving of a name.
Velvet: Oh no, not pirate. He's a gentle one. I'll just call him Pi.
