Our Little Girl (1935)

Molly Middleton: Daddy, it's September Saturday, and we're not going, because I'm a big girl now. Daddy, why do we have to go and get big?
Dr. Donald Middleton: Oh, it's not because you're so big. I think you're still pretty little. But we just can't manage Heaven's Gate anymore because... things are all changed.
Molly Middleton: Because Mommy's going away?
Dr. Donald Middleton: Because of a lot of things. We're all so sorry, you, and Daddy... and your mother, I guess. But we'll just have to look for something else to have fun with. There's going to be a circus in town next Saturday. Gee, I'd like to see a circus, won't you?
Molly Middleton: I'd like to see a circus if it didn't come on September Saturday.
