View Quote [singing] How can I ignore the Boy Next Door?
I love him more than I can say.
Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me.
And he never sees me glance his way.
And though I'm heartsore, the Boy Next Door,
Affection for me won't display.
I just adore him, so I can't ignore him,
The Boy Next Door.

View Quote [to Esther] You don't need any beauty sleep.

View Quote John Truett. I've come here to ask you something...What do you mean hitting a nine-year-old child?...The next time you want to hit somebody, pick on somebody your own size. If there's anything I hate, loathe, despise, and abominate, it's a bully.

View Quote [singing] The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style.
My only regret is we've never met,
Though I dream of him all the while.

Mr. Smith: I'd like to meet that boy sometime.

View Quote Tootie: Here comes the invalid. I have to have two kinds of ice cream. I'm recuperating.

View Quote [to Mr. Smith, after he hangs up on a caller] You've just ruined Rose's chance to get married, that's all...That was Warren Sheffield calling long-distance to propose.

View Quote [to Mrs. Smith] Aren't you afraid to stay here alone with a criminal? That's what I'm being treated like.

View Quote [to Esther] You've got a mighty strong grip for a girl.

View Quote [to Rose] If I were you, I wouldn't commit myself one way or another...after all, we know very little about him. Why, we haven't even met his folks. Not a word of this to Papa. You know how he plagues the girls about their beaus.
