- [Gretchen asks to keep Wolf]
- Mrs. Blevin: Of couse you can. Anybody who says you can't, send 'em to Mrs. Blevins. I'll give 'em a run for their money. Twice around the whiskey jug, with a head's start!
- Miss Elizabeth Munn: [soon after first arriving to the house] Mrs. Blevin - Mrs. Blevin, I'm not favorably impressed by the atmosphere of this house. Without even seeing Gretchen I can tell you I will find this disorder reflected in her character. When you're free, I'd like to suggest a remedy.
- Mrs. Blevin: Dearie, I've got a suggestion.
- Miss Elizabeth Munn: Yes?
- Mrs. Blevin: [with hands on hips] You hoe your cabbage patch and I'll hoe mine, see?
