| Quotes |
Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker:
Can you write a letter to God like you do to Santa Claus? Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: No, that's where praying comes in. Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Bad girls like me can't pray. Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Aw, you ain't a bad girl. Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Then show me how to pray. I want to ask God for something. Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: You would. You lay down and go to sleep. Marthy Jane, Little Miss Marker: Regret knows everything. I'll ask Regret to show me how to pray. Sorrowful 'Sir Sorry' Jones: Don't you go asking that mug Regret about anything. I'll show you how to pray. See more » |
