Sammy Snyders: Tom Sawyer

Quotes 

• Tom Sawyer : Oh, Aunt Polly, please don't pull it, please no!

  Aunt Polly : Come on, it will be out quick as a wink! Your toothache will be gone.

  Tom Sawyer : Oh, it's gone already, Aunt Polly, honest. It's all better.

• Tom Sawyer : I stopped to talk to Huckleberry Finn.

  Schoolmaster : [gasps]  You did what?

  Tom Sawyer : [louder]  I stopped to talk to Huckleberry Finn.

  Schoolmaster : [outraged]  This is the most astounding confession I have ever heard!

  [stands up and grabs a stick] 

  Schoolmaster : You bend over!

  [Tom does as he's told and begins to receive a spanking] 

  Schoolmaster : Huck Finn!

  Tom Sawyer : Ow!

  Schoolmaster : [accenting almost every word with a hit to Tom's backside]  Huck Finn! That raged... unwashed... unschooled... outcast! The name of Huck Finn must never be mentioned in this class!

  [finally stops hitting him] 

  Schoolmaster : Now go and sit with the girls.

• Tom Sawyer : Here, I want you to have something. It's my best treasure in the whole world.

  [hands her a shining doorknob] 

  Becky Thatcher : Oh, it's beautiful.

  Tom Sawyer : It's brass, but it's almost gold! Becky?

  [kisses her on the cheek] 

  Tom Sawyer : There. Now we're engaged. You won't marry anybody but me and you won't love anybody but me. Never and forever. Will you?

  Becky Thatcher : No, I never will, never.

• Becky Thatcher : I'm going to like being engaged.

  Tom Sawyer : Oh, it's lots of fun. Why, me and Amy Lawrence, when...

  Becky Thatcher : Amy Lawrence? You were engaged to Amy Lawrence?

  Tom Sawyer : Aw, it was a short engagement.

• Tom Sawyer : Oh, it's you, Huck. What'cha doin'?

  Huckleberry Finn : Nothing'. It's what I'm not doing. It's the difference in me and you. You're always doing, and I'm not. Not going to school, for instance.

• Tom Sawyer : I know, Huck. I'll run away and become a pirate and fight in a lot of bloody battles. Yes sir, that's the ticket! I'll show her, even if it kills me. And then when I'm dead and all slashed to pieces by big cutlasses, she'll be sorry, she'll be sorry.
