- Crowning Moment of Funny:
- "These dice ain't got no spots on them--they're blank!" "I had the spots removed for good luck, but I remember where the spots formerly were."
- "I'm REALLY sorry."
- "I will add nothin' to what Sky said, except to say that there are many here, upon who, if they get outta line, I would squeal with pleasure."
- "Adelaide's Lament" is an example of Crowning Music of Funny.
- The following sequence:
Sarah: You who drink too much, you who gamble at cards and dice and horse racing. Let us help you not to lose your money in gambling dens and bookie joints. |
- And later:
Sarah: This may not be a church, but it is a mission! How dare you blaspheme! |
- Adelaide and Nathan discussing their relationship, and the lies Adelaide's been telling her mother about it:
Nathan: Of course we'll get married, sooner or later. |
- Nathan and his buddies are listing possible places to hold the craps game:
Nathan: And things being how they are, the back of the police station is out! |
