Quote context

[...]

- Do you ever go to the circus, Larry?

- Uh-uh.

- You should. And take Vince. There's a man with a big hat that holds up the hoop, cracks the whip and the animals jump through. Hop, Vince! Hop, Larry! Hop, Vince! Hop, Larry!

- Putting on a vaudeville act, Debby?

- Just impersonations.

- How's your daughter, Mr. Lagana?

- She was going out formal tonight.

- Oh.

- Can you imagine that?

- Hmm.

- She wanted me to wait and put the final okay on her dress. I told her what I thought didn't matter. Just impress that football player.

- Oh, sometimes the father means more than the football players. They come and go, but Dad's around for keeps, hmm?

- I hope Angela feels that way about me.

- Oh, I'll bet she does.

- Check the kitchen, will you, baby?

- Sure.

- Now it's Debby. Hop, Debby! Hop, Debby! Hop, Debby! Hop, Debby! Hop, Debby! Hop, Debby! Hop, Debby! Hop! Hop!

- She's a young girl. Don't let her drink so much.

- If she keeps it up, she goes out of here on her ear. She's got no claim-check on me.
