- William Kemble: The boy has run free.
- Silas Kemble: Willie, Willie... harmless little fella like that.
- William Kemble: Harmless? He damn near killed me!
- William Kemble: [Silas and the others snicker] Well aren't you going after him?
- Silas Kemble: I expect you frightened him so much he's runnin' all the way to Mirthatitville.
- [laughs]
- William Kemble: Mirthatinville... where's that?
- Silas Kemble: If you're lying to me, I'll fry you for supper.
- Honesty Evans: I don't tell lies.
- Silas Kemble: In that case, I'll cut you in!
- Sarah Morton: [about Silas Kemble] Well, he won't let it rest there...
- Jack Vincent: No, I know he won't.
- Honesty Evans: Ah! Just stay one jump ahead, I suppose. Just like my Uncle Ivor.
- Jack Vincent: Oh, what did your Uncle Ivor do?
- Honesty Evans: He ran a flea circus!
