Quotes
-
Jimmy Clayton : What is it, Pop?
William J. 'Pop' Shea : It's for Betsy. Perhaps you could come back tomorrow morning?
Detective : Sorry, old man, I don't like this any more than you do, but I got to take her back tonight.
Jimmy Clayton : But you can't take Betsy back to the orphan asylum! Know why? 'Cause Betsy ain't here! She's down south in dear old Dixie.
Flossie : Sure, visiting with my folks.
Jimmy Clayton : Oh, I wish I was in Dixie! Away, away!
Detective : Hey, are you crazy?
Jimmy Clayton : Yeah! Uh, no! You see, we don't want to lose Betsy. That's why I lied to you. She's up in her room.

Sarah Wendling : Officer, there's the child you're after.
William J. 'Pop' Shea : You let her alone!
Detective : Now, just a minute...
Betsy Brown : Don't you hurt Pop! Don't you dare hurt Pop!
Detective : We're not hurting anyone, little girl. There's no need to get excited, but we've got orders to pick her up.
Betsy Brown : No, no! I want to stay with Pop!
Detective : Well, I don't blame you, but you come along with us, and your pop will straighten things out later.
William J. 'Pop' Shea : I'm afraid you'll have to go with them, Betsy.
Betsy Brown : But I don't want to go back to the orphanage! I want to stay with you!
William J. 'Pop' Shea : Now, don't you cry. Soon I'll come see you, and I'll get you out again.
