-
Petunia Jackson : I know all about that sweepstake money and I'm solid collecting my half, cash on the line.

Petunia Jackson : Good evening, riffraff! Hello, Jim Henry. Thought I'd just drop round and give your joint the once-over.
Joseph 'Little Joe' Jackson : Why, Petunia, is this really you?

Georgia Brown : Why does you want to forget me, sugar?
Joseph 'Little Joe' Jackson : Well, it seems there was a lot of reasons why; but, for the life of me, I can't seem to think of one of them now.
