Quote context

[...]

- What would you like to sing, dear? Baby's Boats, A Silver Moon or Did You Ever See a Rabbit Climb a Tree?

- No. I hate those songs. I want to sing a new one. It goes: I was hmm last night, dear Mother

- Well, you can't sing that.

- Oh, do let her. She's such a sweet little thing.

- Sweet? She's a hoodlum.

- Oh, come on, let her sing.

- Well, all right. Go on. Go on, Tootie.

- I was drunk last night, dear Mother I was drunk the night before, but if you'll forgive me, Mother, I'll never get drunk anymore.

- Tootie, you're a very bad girl. It's really Lon's fault. He teaches her those things.

- I can do the cakewalk if Esther does it with me.

- No! Oh, come on, Esther, do it!

- Oh, all right. Anything.

- Now that you've insisted on doing this, you better be good.

- Too big. Yes, I know. Well, here, try this one. Now, put them on the chair.
