Ralph Willart : [Berry-Berry has gotten himself in trouble again, requiring yet another effort on Ralph's part to wire him "rescue" money] Yeah, that knucklehead's got it in his head that Western Union is some sort of bank. I'll tell you what he's good at: he's a colossal expert at getting money outta' Western Union. You know what he went and did?
Clinton Willart : No.
Ralph Willart : He didn't tell ya', huh?... You know who he took a poke at? A woman! He don't fool around, that big gorilla, no sirree. Some dame says something he don't like... WHAM! - lays her out. And the "Old Man" carries the gold down to Western Union.

Annabell Willart : [Ralph and Clinton are barbequing, and drinking liquor. Annabell is not amused] You don't have to go making HIM a drunkard, too, Ralph.
Ralph Willart : Whom are you calling a "drunkard," madame?
Annabell Willart : [Exasperated] You never go anywhere without that bottle. You'd even take it to Church with you - if you ever WENT to Church.
Ralph Willart : If I ever went to Church, I'd HAVE to take it with me!
[laughs derisively]

Annabell Willart : Ralph, you're gonna' have to talk to Clinton.
Ralph Willart : [Not terribly concerned] Yeah? What about?
Annabell Willart : [Exasperated] "What about?" Do you realize that boy hasn't set his foot inside a classroom in the past two months?
Ralph Willart : Well, maybe he doesn't like the school he has to go to.
Annabell Willart : [Sarcastically] Well, maybe we should call the School Board and ask them to start a new school, just to please "His Majesty."
Annabell Willart : [Now without the sarcasm] Ralph, will ya' talk to him?

Ralph Willart : [Inviting three old drunks to his home for Christmas] Gentlemen! The pleasures of my humble house!
Ralph Willart : [presenting them to his rather shocked-looking wife] These three kings will pause here tonight... and tomorrow they will continue their journey to Bethlehem.
