Ivan Crosland: Mr. Graff

Quotes 

• Scott Carpenter : We're picking up some things for Mrs. Jenkins.

  Mr. Graff, the store manager : Oh, ButterCream business. Did I ever tell you boys that my great-grandfather was one of the first ButterCreamers?

  Eldon Flowers : Yes, about a thou...

  Mr. Graff, the store manager : It was in the early days of the town after a raid killed many of the young men. The reverend asked some of the boys, including my great-grandfather, to help the widows by churning their cream into butter. It was hard work. The whole town started calling those boys the ButterCream Gang, and we've had one ever since. I've seen many come and go, but I think you boys are the best I've seen yet.

• Pete Turner : Give me your money, old man! Open it up, come on!

  Mr. Graff, the store manager : All right, Pete, if you need money, I'll give you some.

  Pete Turner : Don't you get it? You're being robbed here!

  Mr. Graff, the store manager : Well, I know that's what you're trying to do, Pete, but if I give you the money, then you're not robbing me. Here's two hundred and seventy-four dollars. Is that enough?

  Pete Turner : You're as crazy as Scott! This whole town's crazy!

• Mr. Graff, the store manager : Why, Pete Turner, I almost didn't recognize you!

  Pete Turner : Actually, I've changed my name to Pete Valdez. That was my mom's name.

  Mr. Graff, the store manager : Well, Pete Valdez, I can tell you've been to the big city.

• Scott Carpenter : I know I should've told you sooner, but Pete's been stealing from your store. He had the nerve to tell me that you owed it to him for all the stuff's he done for you.

  Mr. Graff, the store manager : I thank you, Scott, for telling me. You're right, you should've me sooner, but if it makes you feel any better, I already knew.

  Scott Carpenter : You did? Why didn't you do anything about it?

  Mr. Graff, the store manager : I did. I thought about it, and I decided that a little love and patience was worth more than a few pennies.

  Scott Carpenter : But you shouldn't let him steal from you.

  Mr. Graff, the store manager : You're right. You're absolutely right. So from on, I'm just going to give him the treats, in appreciation of all the help he's given me. Then he won't be stealing.
