Scout:
I said, 'Hey,' Mr. Cunningham. How's your entailment getting along?
[He turns and looks away] Scout: Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham? I'm Jean Louise Finch. You brought us some hickory nuts one early morning, remember? We had a talk. I went and got my daddy to come out and thank you. I go to school with your boy. I go to school with Walter; he's a nice boy. Tell him 'hey' for me, won't you? You know something, Mr. Cunningham, entailments are bad. Entailments... [She suddenly becomes self-conscious] Scout: Atticus, I was just saying to Mr. Cunningham that entailments were bad but not to worry. Takes a long time sometimes... [to the men who are staring up at her] Scout: What's the matter? I sure meant no harm, Mr. Cunningham.

Scout:
May I see your watch? "To Atticus, My Beloved Husband." Atticus, Jem says this watch is gonna belong to him some day.
Atticus Finch: That's right. Scout: Why? Atticus Finch: Well, it's customary for the boy to have his father's watch. Scout: What are you gonna give me? Atticus Finch: Well, I don't know that I have much else of value that belongs to me... But there's a pearl necklace; there's a ring that belonged to your mother. And I've put them away, and they're to be yours.

Scout:
Mr. Tate was right.
Atticus Finch: What do you mean? Scout: Well, it would be sort of like shooting a mockingbird, wouldn't it?

Jem:
There goes the meanest man that ever took a breath of life.
Dill Harris: Why is he the meanest man? Jem: Well, for one thing, he has a boy named Boo that he keeps chained to a bed in the house over yonder. Boo only comes out at night when you're asleep and it's pitch-dark. When you wake up at night, you can hear him. Once I heard him scratchin' on our screen door, but he was gone by the time Atticus got there. Dill Harris: I wonder what he does in there? I wonder what he looks like? Jem: Well, judgin' from his tracks, he's about six and a half feet tall. He eats raw squirrels and all the cats he can catch. There's a long, jagged scar that runs all the way across his face. His teeth are yella and rotten. His eyes are popped. And he drools most of the time.

Dill Harris:
Hey.
Jem: Hey yourself. Dill Harris: I'm Charles Baker Harris. I can read. I can read anything you've got. [swinging on the gate] Dill Harris: Folks call me Dill. Jem: How old are you? Four and a half? Dill Harris: Going on seven. Jem: Well, no wonder then. Scout's been readin' since she was born, and she's not even six yet. You're mighty puny for nearly seven. Dill Harris: I'm little but I'm old.

Dill Harris:
Let's go down to the courthouse and see the room that they locked Boo up in. My aunt says it's bat-infested, and he nearly died from the mildew. Come on. I bet they got chains and instruments of torture down there.
