Alice Sycamore: You know I've decided that it's your family that isn't good enough! Why I wouldn't be related to a bunch of snobs like that for anything in the world. Your mother's all in a dither because of her social reputation.
The Crowd: That's telling them Alice. Who do they think they are! Alice Sycamore: Your reputation's safe as far as I'm concerned - and so is your son's -- and so is your old man's!

Wilbur G. Henderson (Internal Revenue Department):: Now Mr. Vanderhoff, that's a very serious thing, not filing an income tax return.
Grandpa Vanderhoff: Well, now suppose I do pay you this money? Mind you, I don't say that I'm going to, but just for the sake of argument -- what's the government going to do with it? Wilbur G. Henderson (Internal Revenue Department):: What do you mean? Grandpa Vanderhoff: Well, what do I get for MY money? For instance, if I go into a dept store and buy something, why there it is, I can see it. What are they going to give me?
