Quotes 

• Lisa Douglas : [pointing at the trunk]  Oh, where did that come from?

  Eb Dawson : I work up in bed with it this morning.

  Oliver Wendell Douglas : Will you stop...

  Lisa Douglas : That happened to my uncle once. He work up in bed with a trunk. Or was it a drunk? No. it was a trunk with a drunk in it.

  Eb Dawson : Hey, maybe there's a drunk in this one! Shall I open it?

• Oliver Wendell Douglas : [looking through the documents in the trunk]  Eb, this is dated 1902. These stocks and bonds are worthless. The companies are out of business. Defunct.

  Lisa Douglas : How do you know? Some of them may still be "funct."

• Eb Dawson : [listening to Lisa read the diary]  Golly, that's sad.

  Oliver Wendell Douglas : Sad? That's sickening. I never heard such tripe!

  Lisa Douglas : That's because it happened in real life, and you know what they say: Ruth is stranger than friction.
