Father Winfield Quotes in By the Light of the Silvery Moon (1953)

Father Winfield: [about his tomboyish daughter getting married] Well, I feel like I'm losing a son.

Mother Winfield: George, the children have been spoiling me. Marjorie has been fussing with my hair all afternoon, keeping me out of the kitchen, and Wesley insisted on doing the marketing and polishing the silver. I've been treated as though I were a queen.

Father Winfield: You are a queen! And that's straight from the king.

Stella: [sourly; she believes George is having an affair] Henry the Eighth!

Father Winfield: [about Wesley's pet turkey] For the last time, that turkey does not belong in the house!

Wesley Winfield: Well, if he's good enough to be on the table, he's good enough to walk around it.

[first lines]

Stella: Hello, Mr. Winfield.

Father Winfield: Good afternoon.

Stella: [to the camera] That's Mr. Winfield. Vice President of our first National Bank, Chairman of the Civic Betterment League, and twice winner of the Elks picnic potato sack race.
