Quotes 

• Agnes Davis : Now, listen Jim, she's in love with that boy and there's no reason on earth why she shouldn't have him.

  Jim Davis : He hasn't any money, for one thing.

  Agnes Davis : Well, neither have *you*.

• Agnes Davis : I don't suppose he earns more than $40 a week.

  Mr. Davis : $40 a week? When I married your mother I was getting $15 a week.

  Mrs. Davis : Oh, that was then dear. Just the same, I do think young people today are extravagant. I dare say, you and Jim could manage very well, even if you didn't work, Agnes.

  Jim Davis : We'd manage a darn sight better, Mother, and that's the truth.

  Agnes Davis : Yes. I could spend all day taking care of the darn house for you. Cooking your meals and washing your dishes and thinking how *marvelous* it'll be when you get home at night. We couldn't ever go anywhere because we couldn't afford it. You'd know just where I was and just what I was doing all the time. We'd see so much of one another, we couldn't possibly like each other. It would be indecent - like not wearing any clothes.

• Jim Davis : Looks like the boy got loose.

  Agnes Davis : Well, I dare say, Lola could have him if she wanted to.

  Jim Davis : If she's anything like you she could.

• Agnes Davis : Well, was-zi peeved with 'is itsy-bitsy wifey?

• Agnes Davis : Lola, I'm ashamed of you - mooning over a man.

• Lola Davis : Now, honestly, Agnes, do you think any person with any sense at all would fall for a deliberate trap like that?

  Agnes Davis : Oh, honey bunch, hundreds of thousands of them fall for it every year.

• Agnes Davis : If I had a face and figure like your's, I wouldn't lay around moping?

• Agnes Davis : Well, darling, you're a riot in that dress.

• Agnes Davis : Lola, give up anything. It doesn't matter. The man you love is worth all the jobs in the world. We found that out, didn't we?
