Josephine Hull: Mrs. Piper
Quotes
-
Mrs. Piper : Pete, my poor boy. You're on the edge of a great and serious experience.
[It's the night before Pete's wedding]
Peter Piper : What's the matter? What are you talking about?
Mrs. Piper : Listen, Pete. In every man, in every boy even, there lurks a beast. A beast that can be aroused!
Peter Piper : [embarrassed] Oh for cat's sake, Ma.
-
Mrs. Piper : I suppose I'm a fool.
Willie Taylor : Did anyone ever dispute that?
-
Mrs. Piper : I'll be all alone, with so many things to remind me of my boy in the old home.
Peter Piper : Yeah, we've lived in our ancestral three rooms for going on two months now.
-
Mrs. Piper : I've always talked things over with him frankly.
Willie Taylor : What do you mean, frankly?
Mrs. Piper : Sex. Women. Babies.
Willie Taylor : Does Pete like to talk about those things with you?
Mrs. Piper : Well no, he doesn't. But I know it's best for a boy's sex education to come from his mother.
Willie Taylor : Baloney! He found out all about those things from boys long before.
