Molly Middleton:
Daddy, it's September Saturday, and we're not going, because I'm a big girl now. Daddy, why do we have to go and get big?
Dr. Donald Middleton: Oh, it's not because you're so big. I think you're still pretty little. But we just can't manage Heaven's Gate anymore because... things are all changed.
Molly Middleton: Because Mommy's going away?
Dr. Donald Middleton: Because of a lot of things. We're all so sorry, you, and Daddy... and your mother, I guess. But we'll just have to look for something else to have fun with. There's going to be a circus in town next Saturday. Gee, I'd like to see a circus, won't you?
Molly Middleton: I'd like to see a circus if it didn't come on September Saturday.
Dr. Donald Middleton: Oh, it's not because you're so big. I think you're still pretty little. But we just can't manage Heaven's Gate anymore because... things are all changed.

We can't go up to Heaven's Gate without a cake, can we, Mommy?
Elsa Middleton: No, darling, we certainly can't.
Amy: I wish you'd let me help you, Mrs. Middleton.
Molly Middleton: This is work that only Mommy and I can do.
Elsa Middleton: This is a very special day. It only happens twice a year.
Amy: Twice a year? What makes this day different from any other day?
Elsa Middleton: This is the day that Molly and I call May Saturday. The other one comes in September.
Molly Middleton: We call that September Saturday.
Elsa Middleton: No, darling, we certainly can't.
Amy: I wish you'd let me help you, Mrs. Middleton.

You were almost late, Daddy.
Dr. Donald Middleton: Almost never won first prize. Say, where do you want us to sit?

Elsa Middleton: Afraid so.
Molly Middleton: Right over there, where we always sit every May and September.

Penelope Day:
I've been sailing my boat around the island. I wanted to see where the pirates camped last night.
Jerry Day: Do you keep your boat padlocked to the dock so the pirates won't steal it?
Penelope Day: No, Uncle George keeps it padlocked so I won't sail it alone. He's afraid. You see, I didn't really sail around the island, not honor bright.
Jerry Day: Honor bright?
Penelope Day: Yes, you can only say that when it's honest-to-goodness true.
Jerry Day: Who taught you that?
Penelope Day: My mother.
Jerry Day: Do you keep your boat padlocked to the dock so the pirates won't steal it?
