Quotes
-
Oliver : Well, fan my brow! I'm from the South!
Mary Roberts : You are?
Stan : Well, shut my mouth! I'm from the South too!

-
Mickey Finn : [the real Mary knocks at the door] Who's there?
Mary Roberts : Mary.
Stan : Mary who?
Mickey Finn : [nervously] Mary - Merry Christmas. Ohhh...
[opens the door]
Mary Roberts : Excuse me, Mr. Finn, one of these gentlemen dropped this at the foot of the stairs.
Ollie : [takes the deed from her hands, not recognizing her as the real Mary] Oh, oh why thank you, little lady, you don't know what you've done, thanks!
Mickey Finn : [shows Mary out of the room, closing the door] All right, all right, all right.
Ollie : [hands the deed to Lola, unaware that she's pretending to be Mary] There you are: signed, sealed, and now delivered.
Lola Marcel, the Singing Nightingale : Oh, thank you so much.
Ollie : Not at all.
[Mickey Finn utters a sigh of exhausted relief]
Ollie : Come Stanley, we'd better be going.
Stan : Oh say, what about the locket?
Ollie : That's right I...
Stan : We've got something else for you.
Ollie : I almost forgot it.
[puts on his derby and loosens his necktie]
Ollie : And besides that...
[unbuttons his shirt and takes out the locket]
Ollie : your father left you this family heirloom.
Lola Marcel, the Singing Nightingale : Oh yes, I - I remember it well.
Ollie : Help me get it off, Stanley.
[Ollie loosens his collar while Stan tries to take the locket chain off of Ollie's neck by pulling it up around his chin]
Stan : Am I hurting you?
Ollie : No, just a minute.
Stan : Won't be long.
[Stan tries again to take the chain off of Ollie]
Stan : Maybe I'd better try and open it again.
Ollie : I think so.
[Stan loosens Ollie's collar to get to the clasp]
Stan : It slipped.
[Stan unbuttons Ollie's shirt]
Stan : Maybe you'd better take your coat off.
Ollie : [starts to take off his coat] Pardon me just a minute.
[Stan removes Ollie's necktie and collar; Ollie takes his suspenders off and the locket falls down his trousers leg to the floor]
Ollie : [Stan reaches up Ollie's back and finds a thread, Ollie breaks the thread and discovers an unraveled undergarment] We'll find it in just a moment.
[Ollie takes off his shirt, and Stan notices the locket on the floor and picks it up]
Ollie : We got it.
[Stan hands the locket to Lola]
Ollie : I'm gonna go in and change, pardon us.
[Ollie goes into the bedroom to put his clothes back on, and Stan follows]
-
Ollie : [Mary comes downstairs] Goodbye, Miss... uh... Miss... uh...
Mary Roberts : Roberts, Mary Roberts.
Ollie : Goodbye, Miss Roberts.
Stan : Goodbye.
Ollie : [Stan and Ollie stop walking, Ollie does a double take] Did you hear what she said her name was?
Stan : Sure, Mary Roberts.
Ollie : How can she be Mary Roberts when we've just given the deed to Mary Roberts?
Stan : I don't know.
[Stan crushes out a cigar butt with his shoe]
Ollie : I smell a rat.
Stan : I smell something too.
[Stan discovers his shoe is smoking from the cigar butt, dunks his feet into the janitor's water pail]
Ollie : Come on.
[Stan and Ollie go back to the kitchen; they remove their hats]
Ollie : Pardon me, did you ever have a father by the name of Cy Roberts?
Mary Roberts : Why, yes. He left me here with these people years ago when he went prospecting.
Ollie : Well, who's that woman upstairs?
Mary Roberts : That's Lola Marcel, Mr. Finn's wife. She's my legal guardian now.
Stan : [Stan taps Ollie on the shoulder, and accidentally bangs his head on a hanging frying pan] Can I speak to you for a minute?
Ollie : Pardon us.
Stan : Yeah, we'll be right back.
[Stan and Ollie head for the main hall]
Stan : You know what?
Ollie : What?
Stan : I think we've given that deed to the wrong woman. That's the first mistake we've made since that guy sold us the Brooklyn Bridge.
Ollie : Oh, buying that bridge was no mistake. That's gonna be worth a lot of money to us someday.
Stan : Well, maybe you're right. We'd better go and get the deed.
Ollie : Say, maybe they won't give it back to us.
Stan : What do you mean, they won't give it back to us? We'll get that deed, or I'll eat your hat.
Ollie : That's what I call determination.
[Ollie shakes Stan's hand; they head upstairs]
Ollie : Come on.

[last lines]
Stan , Ollie , Mary Roberts : [singing] We're going to go, we're going to go / We're going to go way down in Dixie / Where the hens are doggone glad to lay / Scrambled eggs in the new-mown hay / We're going to see, we're going to see / We're going to see my home in Dixie / You can tell the world we're going to...
Ollie , Mary Roberts : D - I - X...
Stan : [music stops] I know how to spell it.
Ollie , Mary Roberts : [music resumes] Then we're going,
Stan : [sings separately] All right, we're going,
Ollie , Mary Roberts : You know we're going,
Stan : [sings] You bet we're going
Stan , Ollie , Mary Roberts : To our home in Dixie land / We're going to go way down in Dixie / Where the hens are doggone glad to lay / Scrambled eggs in the new-mown hay / We're going to see, we're going to see...
[song fades out as Ollie falls into the creek]

Lead Singer of the Avalon Boys : On a mountain in Virginia / Stands a lonesome pine / Just below is the cabin home / Of a little girl of mine
Oliver : Her name is June and very, very soon / She'll belong to me / For I know she's waiting there for me / 'Neath that lone pine tree
Stan , Oliver : In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia / On the trail of the lonesome pine / In the pale moonshine, our hearts entwine / Where she carved her name and I carved mine / Oh June, just like the mountains, I'm blue / Like the pine, I am lonesome for you
Stan , Oliver : In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia / On the trail of the lonesome pine
Stan's Bass Singing (uncredited) : [Stan starts singing in a deep bass voice] In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia / On the trail of the lonesome pine / In the pale moonshine, our hearts entwine / Where she carved her name and I carved mine /

Stan's Bass Singing (uncredited) : / Oh June, like the mountains I'm blue / Like the pine, I am lonesome for you
Stan's Falsetto Voice (uncredited) : [Ollie hits Stan with a mallet; Stan's voice changes to a high falsetto] In the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia / On the trail of the lonesome piiiine
