Just Around the Corner (1938)

Lola: It's so nice to see you again.
Penny Hale: Thank you, Miss Lola. I'm glad I went away. It's so much fun to come home again.
Lola: What shall you and I do first, go to the movies, or take a walk through the park, or...?
Penny Hale: Well, I may not have much time. I have a man to take care of now, and you know how much trouble they can be.
Lola: I certainly do. We'll talk about it later. Goodbye, darling.
Penny Hale: Isn't she nice, Kitty? When she and Daddy came to see me at school, even Miss Vincent liked her.
Kitty: She's all right, but believe me the rest of her tribe is wacky.

Lola: Penny, what have you been doing with yourself?
Penny Hale: I've been very busy taking care of my daddy.
Lola: Oh, by the way, how is he?
Penny Hale: Well, when he's around me, he acts cheerful, but I don't think he's cheerful inside. I think he's worried.
Lola: Probably because he hasn't any more buildings to put up.
Penny Hale: No, I think he's worried about you.
Lola: Oh, Penny, you're just guessing! What makes you think that?
Penny Hale: He's always asking me questions about you. Just like you're asking me questions about him.
