Pastor Andrew Sheldon: Dinah, I don't like you being expelled. Miss Ingraham's right, immorality takes many forms.
Dinah Sheldon: Yes, Papa.

Dinah Sheldon: Miss Ingraham, I'd much rather start my real art classes.
Miss Ingraham: My Goodness, there wasn't a nicer accomplishment for a woman than china painting. Gives you such a good foundation.
Dinah Sheldon: But I've got a foundation. I've been painting at home for years.
Miss Ingraham: Let me see now, I... I don't know exactly where else I'd put you.
Dinah Sheldon: Oh, what about the live class.
Miss Ingraham: Oh, that's much more advanced. Next year perhaps. I take the girls out myself in the country once a week, and we all do a landscape. Cows, trees. There's some charming sycamores not far away.
Dinah Sheldon: Miss Ingraham, I'm afraid we just don't understand each other. I mean a life class, the human figure. Rembrandt said it is the basis of all design, all structure. That's what I need. My anatomy's terrible.
Miss Ingraham: The human figure. You mean unclothed?
Dinah Sheldon: Certainly.
Miss Ingraham: Oh! Miss Sheldon! Oh! Miss Sheldon, I want to have a talk with you. Go into my office.

Pastor Andrew Sheldon: Sit down, sit down. Bring up another chair.

Dinah Sheldon: If you'll kindly consent to read this you'll notice it's about an art competition. There are three prizes of fifty dollars. I intend to win one of those prizes painting a portrait of you as a spirit of labor.
Tom Wade: Are you bats?

Dinah Sheldon: Now will you please go away.
Beau: No question. You need red there in the middle on the nose.
Mack: That nose is okay.
Beau: I don't wish to disagree with you Mack, but I seen much a painting, and the way that is, it ain't no good.
Mack: Looks good to me. Ain't that right?
Townsman: That's right.
Mack: Looks like you're wrong, Beau.
Beau: My dear Sir, when I'm wrong I'll let you know. That nose ain't no good without more red. See?
Mack: [paints Beau's nose red] Is that enough red for you?
Dinah Sheldon: Gentlemen, now please. Stop that, please gentlemen.
