- Mrs. Mara: Sometimes I wish I married a butcher or a plumber.
- District Attorney: My dear, if I lose this hearing, you may very well get your wish.
- District Attorney: What is your name?
- Kris Kringle: Kris Kringle.
- District Attorney: Where do you live?
- Kris Kringle: That's what this hearing will decide.
- Judge Henry X. Harper: A very sound answer, Mister Kringle.
- District Attorney: Do you really believe that you're Santa Claus?
- Kris Kringle: Of course.
- District Attorney: [long pause] The state rests, your honor.
- District Attorney: We now ask that Mr. Gailey present authoritative proof that Mr. Kringle is the one and only Santa Claus.
- Judge Henry X. Harper: Your point is well taken, Mr. Mara; I'm afraid we must agree!
