- Lottie Pope: How's the old homestead?
- Marjory Ford: Same as usual. Pretty bankrupty, mortgagey and generally tottery.
- The Pessimist: Being married?
- Sir Reginald Ford: Yes.
- The Pessimist: Oh - be warned in time. It isn't worth it.
- Sir Reginald Ford: But you're not being married?
- The Pessimist: No, but I have been. I've tried it. I know. My boy, reconsider your decision. Think of the consequences. Think of all your going to lose - your money, your liberty, your very soul.
