Quotes 

  • Dimples : Sometimes I wonder if men are worth all the trouble they give us.

  • Children's Band Member : It's the Professor. He's picked a pocket again.

    Dimples : You take that back! You can't "inflect" on my grandfather like that! Take it back!

    Children's Band Member : All right.

    Dimples : You don't think the Professor would take anything that didn't belong to him?

    Children's Band Member : That's just the trouble with the Professor. He doesn't seem to know what belongs to him and what doesn't.

    Dimples : The Professor's one of the "honestest" men in the world!

  • Dimples : I didn't steal anything. Honest, I didn't. I'm too little. Won't you let me go?

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : Where would you go?

    Dimples : Home.

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : Where's home?

    Dimples : With the Professor.

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : The Professor? Who's the Professor?

    Dimples : Oh, don't you know him? Why, everybody knows the Professor. He's a fine gentleman and an "aristocrack."

  • Dimples : Why did you take that clock?

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : Clock? What clock? I remember no clock.

    Dimples : The one you put your hat over. I saw you.

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : Why, of course not. You ought to know that I wouldn't take a small clock like that. I - I mean, I wouldn't take any clock, large or small. After all, my dear child, I'm a musician, not a thief.

    Dimples : All right, Professor.

  • Dimples : I brought it back.

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : Brought what back?

    Dimples : The cuckoo clock. I stole it last night. It's a funny thing about me. I'm so wicked. Isn't it awful?

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : You stole this?

    Dimples : Right under your very nose. I really don't know what's to become of me, I'm so bad. The Professor says he doesn't know. He says I'm gonna wind up in the "pinchitentiary," if not in jail.

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : Are you sure someone else didn't take this?

    Dimples : Oh, my goodness! You don't mean the Professor, do you? He wouldn't take it, he's too honest! He made me bring it back!

  • Prof. Eustace Appleby : I was quite a matinee idol in those days, you know. I still get letters from ladies in the towns where I played.

    Dimples : Yes, landladies.

  • Prof. Eustace Appleby : But I didn't mean to do it, Dimples. Don't you see?

    Dimples : You broke your promise to me!

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : But the man swore to me. He gave me his word.

    Dimples : You told me you wouldn't steal anymore! You said you were gonna be honest!

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : But I didn't take that watch for myself, I - well, uh, I - I guess I'm not much good to you. Maybe you'd be better off without me.

  • Dimples : Mrs. Drew, do you still think I'm worth five thousand dollars?

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : You're worth ever so much more, darling.

    Dimples : And do you still want me to come and live with you?

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : I'd like nothing more in the world.

    Dimples : All right, I'll come. Do you have the five thousand dollars with you?

  • Prof. Eustace Appleby : You're a very lucky little girl, and I'm glad to see that Mrs. Drew has given you such a good home.

    Dimples : [crying]  It isn't every little girl who can have such a good "envinoment."

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : Oh, darling, I'm taking you home.

    Dimples : No, Professor. Mrs. Drew says I'm gonna have a lot of advantages here.

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : No place is nice for my little girl when it makes her cry. You're coming home with me.

    Dimples : But if I stay here, you won't have to go to jail, and you can give Allen back his money.

    Dimples : I won't go to jail, sweetie.

  • Dimples : What's the matter?

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : Everything's all right, dear. I just want to have a talk with these gentlemen here for a few minutes.

    Policeman : Never mind that! He's under arrest for stealing a thousand dollars.

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : But I didn't take the money for myself. I took it to pay Allen back. Really.

    Policeman : Oh, come on!

    Dimples : You leave him alone! He didn't steal anything from you!

    Mrs. Caroline Drew : I'm sorry, darling, but you're better off without him.

    Allen Drew : You'd better hurry, Dimples. It's almost time for the last act.

    Dimples : No! I'm going to jail with the Professor!

  • Dimples : I love you, Professor.

    Prof. Eustace Appleby : And I'm going to make myself worthy of that love.
