Mildred Bissonette: I never knew such an ungrateful father!

Harold: Listen, you've all got to realize one thing, that I am the Master of this house.

Amelia: [Calling from another part of the house] Harold!

[Mildred gives her Mother some of Harold's hooch]

Amelia: [Amelia's revived] Oh, you're an old idiot. But, I can't help loving you.

Harold: Give her another drink.
