Quotes 

• Mr. Potter : Have you put any real pressure on these people of yours to pay those mortgages?

  Pa Bailey : Times are bad, Mr. Potter. A lot of these people are out of work.

  Mr. Potter : Well, then, foreclose.

  Pa Bailey : I can't do that. These families have children.

  Mr. Potter : They're not my children.

  Pa Bailey : But they're somebody's children, Mr. Potter.

  Mr. Potter : Are you running a business or a charity ward? Not with my money!

  Pa Bailey : Mr. Potter, what makes you such a hard-skulled character? You have no family, no children. You can't begin to spend all the money you've got.

  Mr. Potter : Oh, I suppose I should give it to miserable failures like you and that idiot brother of yours to spend for me!

  Little George : He's not a failure! You can't say that about my father!

  Pa Bailey : George. George. Quiet, George. Run along. Run along.

  Little George : You're not! You're the biggest man in town!

  [Pushes Mr. Potter] 

  Little George : Bigger than him, bigger than everybody!

  [walks out] 

  Mr. Potter : [groans]  Gives you an idea of the Baileys.

• Little George : Made up your mind yet?

  Little Mary : I'll take chocolate.

  Little George : With coconuts?

  Little Mary : I don't like coconuts.

  Little George : You don't like coconuts? Say, Brainless, don't you know where coconuts come from? Look at here. From Tahiti, Fiji Islands, Coral Sea!

• Mr. Emil Gower : [George is whistling to himself]  George! George!

  Little George : Yes sir.

  Mr. Emil Gower : You're not paid to be a canary!
