Just Around the Corner (1938)

Samuel G. Henshaw: Did you or did you not tell this child that I was responsible for the slump? And that I was responsible for business going to the dogs, for your troubles, my troubles, everyone's troubles? Including the blessed fact that you have to go away somewhere for two years!
Jeff Hale: Certainly not!
Penny Hale: Why, Daddy, didn't you say that when Uncle Sam got in trouble, the people got scared, and when the people got scared, business got bad, and when business got bad, there was a slump, and when that happened, nobody built any buildings?
Jeff Hale: Yes, but -
Penny Hale: Didn't you say that everyone ought to get together and help Uncle Sam instead of pulling on him?
Jeff Hale: Yes, dear, but let's get back to Mr. Henshaw here.
Penny Hale: But I am back to him. He's Uncle Sam, isn't he?
Jeff Hale: Him?
Samuel G. Henshaw: Me?
Samuel G. Henshaw, Jeff Hale: Uncle Sam?

Penny Hale: Yes. Samuel G. Henshaw. He's in a bad way, you know.
