Mrs. Ella Brennan : Wilbur's a very remarkable boy. In this day and age, it's so difficult to rear a child properly.
Noonan : [posing as Wilbur's father] Yes. I wouldn't give you 10 to 1 on a boy like Wilbur living to grow up.
Mrs. Ella Brennan : Oh, that's a little on the pessimistic side, Mr. Hoolick.
Noonan : All right, I'll make it 8 to 1.
