Just Around the Corner (1938)

Penny Hale: I'll bet you get pretty tired of it all, don't you, Uncle Sam?
Samuel G. Henshaw: Tired? I'm sick of the whole kit and kaboodle! Who are you?
Penny Hale: I'm Penny.
Samuel G. Henshaw: Oh, is that what you're waiting for? Here.

Penny Hale: No, thank you!
Samuel G. Henshaw: Why not?
Penny Hale: There are too many people taking money from you now. I wouldn't dream of it. I'll be around about this time everyday. If you need anymore help, just call me and I'll come. Goodbye, Uncle Sam. Keep your chin up!

Kitty: Everybody's got their troubles, Penny, even little half-pints like you. You've got a good strong chin. You keep it up no matter what happens.

Penny Hale: This is a benefit for Uncle Sam.
Reporter: Uncle Sam?
Penny Hale: Yes. Samuel G. Henshaw. He's in a bad way, you know.
Reporter: Samuel G. Henshaw is in a bad way?
