 Allen Drew: Betty! This is the nicest surprise I`ve had.
Betty Loring: I came to wish you good luck.
Allen Drew: This is good luck, Betty. I didn`t think you`d ever look at me again after the fool I made of myself.
Betty Loring: I`m willing to forget all that, Allen, but Father never will. If he knew I`d come here, he`d be in a rage. Allen Drew: You`ve done an excellent job.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Yes, and know I`ll need ninety-five dollars for advertising.
Allen Drew: As long as you`re paying the bills, I think it`d save time if you handled all the money.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Oh.
Allen Drew: Here it is, about eight hundred dollars. It`s all the cash I have left and just enough to finance the rest of the production.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Uh, all right. You, uh, trust me with all this?
Allen Drew: Yes, of course.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Well, thank you very much, Allen, for your faith in me. I`ll, uh, handle this money just as though it were my own.
Cleo Marsh: But I thought you had money, Allen.
Allen Drew: I did. Enough, anyway. I guess I didn`t take care of it very well.
Cleo Marsh: Well, what are you going to do now?
Allen Drew: I suppose I could get a job somewhere, and maybe save up enough money to do the show. That needn`t change our plans about marriage any, Cleo. I don`t suppose money is very important to people who are really in love.
Cleo Marsh: You can say that because you`ve always had money.
Allen Drew: Perhaps.
Cleo Marsh: I`m afraid this changes everything.
Allen Drew: Then you`re not really in love with me.
Col. Jasper Loring: Well, Allen`s play opens tonight. I`m afraid Betty is still fond of Allen, but I`ve forbidden her to see him.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Have you?
Col. Jasper Loring: Yes, the theater`s ruined that young man.
Dimples: I love you, Professor.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: And I`m going to make myself worthy of that love.
Dimples: Mrs. Drew, do you still think I`m worth five thousand dollars?
Mrs. Caroline Drew: You`re worth ever so much more, darling.
Dimples: And do you still want me to come and live with you?
Mrs. Caroline Drew: I`d like nothing more in the world.
Dimples: All right, I`ll come. Do you have the five thousand dollars with you?
Dimples: What`s the matter?
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Everything`s all right, dear. I just want to have a talk with these gentlemen here for a few minutes.
Policeman: Never mind that! He`s under arrest for stealing a thousand dollars.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: But I didn`t take the money for myself. I took it to pay Allen back. Really.
Policeman: Oh, come on!
Dimples: You leave him alone! He didn`t steal anything from you!
Mrs. Caroline Drew: I`m sorry, darling, but you`re better off without him.
Allen Drew: You`d better hurry, Dimples. It`s almost time for the last act.
Dimples: No! I`m going to jail with the Professor!
Emery T. Hawkins: Mr. Drew, you told us he would pay us our money.
Allen Drew: Yes, of course. Pay them, Professor.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Well, I, uh, I don`t like their attitude, Allen. I`ve never heard of people doing business in this way.
Allen Drew: Why argue? Pay them and get it over with.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Well, the truth is, I find myself a little short.
Allen Drew: Short? How much?
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Well, around eight hundred dollars.
Allen Drew: But that`s all the money I gave you!
Prof. Eustace Appleby: It wasn`t my fault, Allen. I was cheated!
Allen Drew: That`s all the money I had! I was stupid enough to trust a scoundrel like you, you blundering old fool!
Prof. Eustace Appleby: But I didn`t mean to do it, Dimples. Don`t you see?
Dimples: You broke your promise to me!
Prof. Eustace Appleby: But the man swore to me. He gave me his word.
Dimples: You told me you wouldn`t steal anymore! You said you were gonna be honest!
Prof. Eustace Appleby: But I didn`t take that watch for myself, I - well, uh, I - I guess I`m not much good to you. Maybe you`d be better off without me.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: You`re a very lucky little girl, and I`m glad to see that Mrs. Drew has given you such a good home.
Dimples: [crying] It isn`t every little girl who can have such a good "envinoment."
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Oh, darling, I`m taking you home.
Dimples: No, Professor. Mrs. Drew says I`m gonna have a lot of advantages here.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: No place is nice for my little girl when it makes her cry. You`re coming home with me.
Dimples: But if I stay here, you won`t have to go to jail, and you can give Allen back his money.
Dimples: I won`t go to jail, sweetie.
Allen Drew: Cunning, aren`t they? Especially that little one.
Betty Loring: Wouldn`t it be amusing to have them play at our wedding reception? We could dress them up, and... Allen, you`re not listening.
Allen Drew: What? Oh, our wedding. Yes, yes, of course.
Betty Loring: Allen?
Allen Drew: What?
Betty Loring: Never mind.
Dimples: I brought it back.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Brought what back?
Dimples: The cuckoo clock. I stole it last night. It`s a funny thing about me. I`m so wicked. Isn`t it awful?
Mrs. Caroline Drew: You stole this?
Dimples: Right under your very nose. I really don`t know what`s to become of me, I`m so bad. The Professor says he doesn`t know. He says I`m gonna wind up in the "pinchitentiary," if not in jail.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Are you sure someone else didn`t take this?
Dimples: Oh, my goodness! You don`t mean the Professor, do you? He wouldn`t take it, he`s too honest! He made me bring it back!
Dimples: I didn`t steal anything. Honest, I didn`t. I`m too little. Won`t you let me go?
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Where would you go?
Dimples: Home.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Where`s home?
Dimples: With the Professor.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: The Professor? Who`s the Professor?
Dimples: Oh, don`t you know him? Why, everybody knows the Professor. He`s a fine gentleman and an "aristocrack."
Dimples: Sometimes I wonder if men are worth all the trouble they give us.
Dimples: Why did you take that clock?
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Clock? What clock? I remember no clock.
Dimples: The one you put your hat over. I saw you.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Why, of course not. You ought to know that I wouldn`t take a small clock like that. I - I mean, I wouldn`t take any clock, large or small. After all, my dear child, I`m a musician, not a thief.
Dimples: All right, Professor.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Allen, maybe you can explain this.
Allen Drew: Explain what, Aunt Caroline?
Betty Loring: I want to break our engagement, Allen.
Allen Drew: Oh.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Is that all you can say?
Allen Drew: I`m sorry it had to happen this way, but I think Betty is right. It would be the best thing for both of us.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: But why? I don`t understand.
Col. Jasper Loring: I`ll tell you why. It`s common gossip that Allen has become involved with an actress, that he spends most of his time with these low people of the theater! He`s even talking about putting up money to produce a play for this creature!
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Of all things, an actress! Allen, how could you? You know how I hate the theater and all it stands for.
Allen Drew: I love her, and we`re going to be married.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Married? Allen, you can`t. I won`t let you ruin your life!
Allen Drew: My mind is made up, Aunt Caroline.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: You`re an ungrateful, disobedient, shameless boy, and as long as you live under this roof, I must insist that you observe my wishes.
Allen Drew: In that case, I`ll have to look for another place to stay.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Professor, your granddaughter is a remarkable child, an appealing child. As briefly as I`ve known her, I`ve become very fond of her.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: That`s easy to see, Mrs. Drew, and easy to understand, too.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: In fact, I`m so fond of her, I want to propose something to you, something for her good. I`m going to ask you to let her come and live with me and let me do all I can for her.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: You mean I - I should give Dimples up?
Mrs. Caroline Drew: This sort of life isn`t what a child should have. You know that. For all your love and devotion, you aren`t helping Dimples. You`re hurting her. You may ruin her whole life.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: But I - I love Dimples.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: I know. That`s why I`m asking this of you.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: I was quite a matinee idol in those days, you know. I still get letters from ladies in the towns where I played.
Dimples: Yes, landladies.
Children`s Band Member: It`s the Professor. He`s picked a pocket again.
Dimples: You take that back! You can`t "inflect" on my grandfather like that! Take it back!
Children`s Band Member: All right.
Dimples: You don`t think the Professor would take anything that didn`t belong to him?
Children`s Band Member: That`s just the trouble with the Professor. He doesn`t seem to know what belongs to him and what doesn`t.
Dimples: The Professor`s one of the "honestest" men in the world!
