A scene from Meet Me in St. Louis 1944

Tootie

[about her doll]

I expect she won't live through the night. She has four fatal diseases.

Mr. Neely

And it only takes one.

Tootie

But she's gonna have a beautiful funeral in a cigar box my Papa gave me, all wrapped in silver paper.

Mr. Neely

That's the way to go if you have to go.

Tootie

Oh, she has to go.
