    Joy Smythe: [runs to her mother] Mama! Mama!

    Uncle Ned Smith: Mama! Mama! It's a good thing I am not your mama. That's enough to drive a man crazy. Things better be a little different around here or you're gonna see the last of me.

  • Joy Smythe: Let's play hospital. I'll be the doctor, and you'll be the nurse. We'll get a big knife out of the kitchen and operate on your doll.

    Joy Smythe: I don't care. You have to play the way I want to.

    Shirley Blake: I don't, either.

    Joy Smythe: Yes, you do because this is my house and my yard and you're nothing but an old charity.

    Shirley Blake: I am not!

    Joy Smythe: Yes, you are because I heard my papa tell my mama so.

    Joy Smythe: No, I ain't gonna!

    J. Wellington Smythe: Now, see here ...

    Anita Smythe: Now, darling, remember what the psychoanalyst said. The child mind must never be coerced. One must use reason and persuasion. Now, dear, practice your piano and Mama will buy you something nice.

    Joy Smythe: What?

    Anita Smythe: Anything you like. What do you especially want?

    Joy Smythe: A machine gun!

    [spanks the doll]

    Shirley Blake: If you give her to me, I'll take care of her. I'll wash her face and make her some clothes and everything.

    Joy Smythe: You can't have her. You wanna know why? Because I'm gonna kill her.

    [rips off the dolls limps and head before skipping away]
