- Cornelia Wheelwright aka Miss White: You know something, Mr Amory? I just discovered America. Imagine that, at my age.
- James 'Jim': You discovered what?
- Cornelia Wheelwright aka Miss White: America! What it's all about. Where else could it happen that a couple of youngsters like that would refuse to take money simply because they hadn't earned it? Where they don't want to live on Easy Street unless they build their own home? Ah, there they go, bless their hearts. You know, it's youngsters like that that make you have faith in the future.
- Mrs. Galloway: Oh, Miss McAllister, this is our new roomer, Miss White. Miss McAllister will help make you feel like one of us.

- Josie La Rue: And remember, wipe your feet before you leave the house - so you don't dirty up the street!
