Bill Robinson Quotes:
Col. Lloyd: Maria, I've got a young lady here whose clothes need drying.
Maria: Yes, sir?
Col. Lloyd: Well, take her!
Maria: But Colonel sir, what can I put her in while her clothes is a-dryin'? I ain't got nothin' for a little girl to wear.
Col. Lloyd: Uh, Walker, go up into the attic, and you'll find a small trunk. There may be some clothes in there that will fit Miss Lloyd.
Walker: A small trunk in the attic, sir?
Col. Lloyd: Yes, you numbskull! Don't you understand English? Attend to it right away.
[the Colonel leaves]
Walker: Do you know whose trunk that is and whose clothes they is?
Maria: Course I do. You go on now and fetch them things. We don't want no menfolk 'round here.
Walker: With that face, you don't have to worry!
Miss Lloyd Sherman: Mom Beck?
Becky Porter: What, honey?
Miss Lloyd Sherman: What's a poorhouse?
Becky Porter: Oh, that's the place where they send people who got no money.
Miss Lloyd Sherman: Is it nice?
Becky Porter: No, honey. It's a terrible place. The people there wear rags, and all they get to eat is corn dodgers out of tin pans.
Miss Lloyd Sherman: Then I don't want my mother to have to go there.
Becky Porter: Oh, why, honey child, your mother won't never have to go to no poorhouse. We wouldn't let that happen, would we, Brother Walker?
Walker: I should say not.
Becky Porter: Now don't you worry your pretty little head about things like that. The Lord always provides.
Walker: Amen!
