Quotes 

• Ann Newton : God bless Mama, Papa, Captain Midnight, Veronica Lake, and the President of the United States.

• Ann Newton : If you ask me, I think she's putting on, like girls in books. The ones that say they don't want anything always get more in the end.

• Ann Newton : You'd think Mama had never seen a phone. She makes no allowance for science. She thinks she has to cover the distance by sheer lung power.

• Ann Newton : [Answering the phone]  Newton's residence, Ann Newton speaking. Oh, hello, Mrs Henderson, this is Ann. No, Mother isn't here. A telegram? Well...

  [looks right, then left] 

  Ann Newton : I don't see a pencil so I'll have to have her call you back. I'm trying to keep my mind free of things that don't matter because I have so much on my mind. Oh, innumerable things.

• Young Charlie : What time does the library close?

  Ann Newton : If you'd read as much as you should, you'd know it closes at nine.

• Ann Newton : I wish I'd been born in the South. Southern women have a lot of charm.

• Ann Newton : I never make up anything. I get everything from my books. They're all true.

• Ann Newton : Step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back.

• Ann Newton : Mrs Henderson didn't read the telegram because I couldn't find a pencil. When I have a house, it's going to be full of well-sharpened pencils.

• Young Charlie : You better go to sleep, baby. You said your prayers?

  Ann Newton : I forgot.

  Young Charlie : You better say them.

  Ann Newton : I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep...

  Young Charlie : Don't bless too many people. It's late.

  Ann Newton : I pray the Lord my soul to take. God bless Mama, Papa, Captain Midnight, Veronica Lake, and the President of the United States...

  Young Charlie : You can't say them all tonight, dear.

  Ann Newton : Oh, and Uncle Charlie. Amen.
