Quote context

[...]

- I must say, you're being very calm about the way you pack us off, lock, stock and barrel.

- I've got the future to think about. The future for all of us. I've got to worry about where the money's coming from, with Lon in Princeton and Rose going to college.

- Well, maybe Rose won't have to go to college. I mean, things are happening. Tonight she met Colonel Darly at Huntsinger's, and he was very smitten with her.

- I'm sure he was, whoever he is, but next year she'll still want to go to college.

- Money. I hate, loathe, despise and abominate money.

- You also spend it.

- And what about Katie and Grandpa and the chickens? Not that we have many left.

- That's a minor detail we can discuss later.

- So I'm a minor detail, am I?

- Now, you all know very well I was talking about the chickens.

- Oh, of course. Never mind what happens to your family. At a time like this, talk about the chickens.

- Now, I guess you're all a little excited. We'll talk this over calmly tomorrow.
