Jebediah Nightlinger:
My name is Nightlinger, and I'm in charge of these boys.

Mrs. Kate Collingwood:
My name is Mrs. Collingwood, and I'm, uh... in charge of these girls.

Jebediah Nightlinger:
I just heard from a highly exited youngster that there were some soiled doves winging through here.

Mrs. Kate Collingwood:
[laughing] Well... what do you want from me?

Jebediah Nightlinger:
Madam, you know young boys... they dream of golden skin and unbound hair. Even if I could lock them up they would find a way of getting here.

Mrs. Kate Collingwood:
There is very little I could do about that.

Jebediah Nightlinger:
I'm sure you would handle everything most tastefully. It's a question of, uh... waiting for a more appropriate time in their lives. Perhaps it would be wiser to wait until next year... or even the year after.

Mrs. Kate Collingwood:

Jebediah Nightlinger:
You are a charming and sensible lady.

Mrs. Kate Collingwood:
What about you?

Jebediah Nightlinger:
Well, I have the inclination... the maturity... and the wherewithal... but unfortunately, I don't have the time. [Both laugh]
