Quotes
-
Esther Walton : What's so funny?
The Grandfather : [Holds up book] This Venuto fella, he sure knew how to have himself a good time. I don't know though. It's pretty gamy. I don't know if this is the sort of book the children should read. It's pretty racy.
Esther Walton : Where?
The Grandfather : Never you mind.
Esther Walton : Let me see that, come on.
[Takes book, reads a little]
Esther Walton : What does racy mean?
The Grandfather : Fast.
Esther Walton : I don't see anything racy in that.
The Grandfather : [Takes book back] Look here, maybe this is the kind of book you shouldn't read either.
Esther Walton : You old fool! You can read anything into anything with that mind of yours!
