Quotes from

Dimples: Why did you take that clock?
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Clock? What clock? I remember no clock.
Dimples: The one you put your hat over. I saw you.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: Why, of course not. You ought to know that I wouldn't take a small clock like that. I - I mean, I wouldn't take any clock, large or small. After all, my dear child, I'm a musician, not a thief.
Dimples: All right, Professor.


Dimples: I love you, Professor.
Prof. Eustace Appleby: And I'm going to make myself worthy of that love.


Dimples: I didn't steal anything. Honest, I didn't. I'm too little. Won't you let me go?
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Where would you go?
Dimples: Home.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: Where's home?
Dimples: With the Professor.
Mrs. Caroline Drew: The Professor? Who's the Professor?
Dimples: Oh, don't you know him? Why, everybody knows the Professor. He's a fine gentleman and an "aristocrack."
