Oriole : Here I am!

Hattie Hartley : Oh, hello, Mal. Is the kid all right?

Hattie Hartley : Oh, now, Mal, don't make me do something I don't want to do.

Hattie Hartley : Yes, dear.

Mal Thorne : Now, Oriole.
Oriole : Huh?
Mal Thorne : In that deathbed scene.
Oriole : Yeah?

Mal Thorne : Say, will you stand still! You're worse than a grasshopper.

Mal Thorne : Come on, baby. Drink it all - right down.

Mal Thorne : You can't fire me.
Ed Bondell : Who says I can't? Your Legree ain't so good we can't get along without ya.
Mal Thorne : Well, maybe not. Yeah, but just the same, you owe me money, and I'm gonna keep right on workin' till you pay me.
