- Carl Thompson: Now this is our art department. And this is Mr. Chapman, one of our staff artists. Mr. Chapman, this is Mr. and Mrs. Jason.
- Bentley Jason: [along with his wife] How do you do, Mr. Chapman!
- Carl Thompson: Would you draw something for us please, Mr. Chapman?
- Chapman: [stares at Thompsons] Draw? Draw? What would you like? A dog? A cat? Or a pig with a squiggly tail? Or how about a house? I was always real big in the house department! Especially on those chimneys with the smoke cork-screwing out!
- Billy: [little boy comes into Gatlin's office and stops by the edge of his desk] Is Mrs. Gatlin in here?
- [pause]
- Billy: What's all that noise?
- [pause]
- Billy: Is Mrs. Gatlin here, sir?
- Sam Gatlin: Come here to me, son.
- Billy: [boy walks over to Gatlin, who picks him up and stands him on top of the desk so they stand eye to eye] Sir, what's that noise?
- Sam Gatlin: Don't you know what that is?
- [boy shakes his head]
- Sam Gatlin: They're printing the funny papers.
- [Gatlin hugs boy]
