- Stannie Dum: Say, aren't you gonna ask him about the money to pay off the mortgage.
- Ollie Dee: I can't ask him now, Don't you see what a bad humor he's in?
- Stannie Dum: Well, If we don't get that money, Mother Peep's gonna be turned out of his shoe and she won't have any place to sleep. We can't let her do that.
- Ollie Dee: Why, If I ask him now, he'll jump right down my throat.

- Stannie Dum: Ollie wants to speak to you.

- Ollie Dee: Well, if you knew how important it was, you see'd me privately because if you--

- Little Bo-Peep: Tom-Tom, I don't know what mother will do, if they were really lost.
- Tom-Tom: Aw, don't worry. They'll be found. You've lost them before, haven't you? As a matter of fact, the last month, you've lost them five times.
- Little Bo-Peep: Oh, I couldn't have?
- Tom-Tom: Yes, you did. And four times the month before that. You see? You're getting worse. [Bo-Peep nods, sniffles] What you need to someone to help you look after the darn things.
- Little Bo-Peep: Who, for instance? [sniffles]
- Tom-Tom: Oh, He'd have to be most unusual, energetic, resourceful and with any amount of patience. A fellow sort of... Well, like me. [She turns to him, scoffs and she turns back] Not interested? [She shakes her head] Not even a little bit? [She shakes her head again, He opens the foot stocks, grabs her ankles, closes them] And I'll just keep you there until you are interested.

- Santa Claus: Splendid!
- The Toymaker: Yeah. Ollie? Go bring one of them in.
- Ollie Dee: Yes, sir! [to Stannie] You'd better help me. They're heavy. We'll bring them right out, Mr. Santie!
