Quote context

[...]

- You were? I thought you were chasing me.

- Yes, I was your father then, but the real me, John Doe, that is... Long John Willoughby, was the fella with a book.

- You know what I mean?

- I guess so.

- Then what happened?

- Well, I took you across my knee and started spankin' ya.

- That is, I didn't do it... I mean I did do it. But it wasn't me, see, I was your father then.

- I had you across my knee and I said: Annie, I won't allow you to marry a man that's just rich or that has his secretary send you flowers.

- The man you marry has got to swim rivers for you, climb mountains for you, slay dragons for you. He's got to perform wonderful deeds for you!

- All the time, the guy up there with the book, me, stood there noddin' his head and he said:

- Go to it, whack her for me. That's the way I feel too.
