Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- Well, hickory nut cake as only Katie can make it.

- I can't move to New York. I just can't.
