- Aunt Polly: Don't you take on, Miss Douglas, Huck Finn looked after himself a long time. He's a tough, young rascal.
- Widow Douglas: [sniffles] But he's been making such good progress.
- Miss Watson: Memorized half the Lord's prayer. Though I expect he's forgoten most of it again by now.
- Widow Douglas: It'll be there for him when he needs it.
- Pap Finn: Well... w-what are you looking at me for? I didn't do it. I wouldn't kill my own flesh and blood, would I?
- Judge Thatcher: You've made threats before...
- Pap Finn: Oh, well, I, I was just funnin'.
- Judge Thatcher: Yes, well, frankly I hope that's the last we see of Pap Finn, unless it's at the end of a rope, paying for this terrible crime.
- Constable: I'll agree with that.
