Dialogue

Joe Kelley: Shame on you - fightin' a girl!
Mickey: She ain't no girl - she's a wildcat!
Little Annie Rooney: Doctor, is he going to die?
Young Hospital Intern: It's an emergency case. Immediate blood transfusion might save him.
Little Annie Rooney: What does that mean, Mister?
Reporter: It means that someone will have to give their blood to save his life - right away.
Little Annie Rooney: Doctor, please let me do it, please!
Young Hospital Intern: I'm afraid you're too small.
Little Annie Rooney: But, if he dies, they'll put my brother in jail! My brother shot him.
Reporter: Why not take her? It's either that or let him croak. Besides - it will make a peach of a story.
Little Annie Rooney: Say, Doc, this transformation business don't make us brother and sister, does it?
Surgeon: No. Why?
Little Annie Rooney: Cause when I grow up I might wanna marry him.
