Marjorie Kane: Mary - Dentist's Daughter

Quotes 

• Mary - Dentist's Daughter : [after her father has patted her on the derriere as she looks into the ice box]  Fifty pounds and chop it fine.

  Dentist : [reading from a newpaper]  "Mrs. Unclebeck..."

  [looking up when her words have sunk in] 

  Dentist : What do you mean, "Fifty pounds and chop it fine"?

  Mary - Dentist's Daughter : Oh, I thought you were Arthur.

  Dentist : Who's Arthur?

  Mary - Dentist's Daughter : He's the man I intend to marry.

  Dentist : Oh, well, don't tell me anything about it - I'm only your father. I can read in the newspaper. What does he do for a living?

  Mary - Dentist's Daughter : Well, he's the iceman.

  Dentist : [shocked]  An iceman?

  Mary - Dentist's Daughter : Yeah, he goes to college. He's a Cornell man.

  Arthur - The Iceman : [voice from outside]  Iceman.

  Mary - Dentist's Daughter : Red Grange was an iceman.

  Dentist : He's still an iceman as far as I'm concerned.

• [last lines] 

  Mary - Dentist's Daughter : Father, you're not *really* going to buy a Frigidaire, are you?

  Dentist : [turning in a huff and addressing Arthur the Iceman in an gruff "okay-you-win-but-I'm-not-happy-about-it" tone]  Fifty pounds of ice and make it snappy.

  Mary - Dentist's Daughter : [leaps into Arthur's arms for a joyful kiss, relieved that her father has accepted her beau]
