Quotes 

• Spanky : You know, lady, we could make this place look like someone's really living in it.

  Grandma : Oh, you could, could you?

  Spanky : Uh huh, what do you say?

  Grandma : Well, alright, but no loafing, you make a good job of it. Now you two get the lawn mower and mow the grass, hurry up. And you, go and water the flowers, hurry up. And you...

  Darla : I can pick flowers.

  Grandma : Oh you can, can you?

  Darla : Yes. I can pick you a nice, big, lovely bouquet.

  Grandma : Alright, you run along and do it then. And you, go and get me that chair.

  Boy : You didn't say please.

  Grandma : And why should I say please?

  Boy : Because my pop says that's polite.

  Grandma : And who may I ask, is your pop?

  Boy : He's a traffic cop.

  Grandma : Well... go and get the chair.

  Boy : Please?

  Grandma : Very well, please.

• Alfalfa : Here we are!

  Grandma : It's about time.

  Spanky : Now you're going to see some lawn cutting.

  Grandma : I hope so.

  Spanky : [they try to push the mower but it doesn't move]  Looks like we're not doing so hot.

  Grandma : That's how it looks.

  [sees them struggle] 

  Grandma : Just a minute.

  [stands up] 

  Grandma : Now you're going to see some real lawn cutting. Give me a hand.

  [sees the boy looking at her] 

  Grandma : Please.

  Boy : Thank you.

  Grandma : Don't mention it.

  Spanky : You know, Grandma, you're a pretty swell guy.

  Grandma : I'm nothing of the sort. I'm only doing this to keep you from ruining my lawn. Come on.
