Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm1938

Harry Kipper:
I've had Rebecca on my hands for some time now. It's been quite a burden. Of course, I'm only too glad to take care of the child, even though she really isn't my own. But lately, I've had several financial reverses.

Aunt Miranda Wilkins:
What you're trying to tell me is you want me to take the child off your hands.

Harry Kipper:
I'd hardly put it that way, Miranda, but that's the general idea.

Aunt Miranda Wilkins:
You listen to me, Harry Kipper. I'll take Rebecca, but only on one condition. You've got to promise to let me have her for good, so I can give her the right kind of upbringing. I don't want her to come to a bad end like her mother.

Harry Kipper:
Your sister didn't do so bad. You're just against show people.

Aunt Miranda Wilkins:
Show people! If Bess hadn't eloped with that opera singer who died without a cent, she wouldn't have had to marry a no-good like you!
