• Dinah Sheldon : Miss Ingraham, I'd much rather start my real art classes.

  Miss Ingraham : My Goodness, there wasn't a nicer accomplishment for a woman than china painting. Gives you such a good foundation.

  Dinah Sheldon : But I've got a foundation. I've been painting at home for years.

  Miss Ingraham : Let me see now, I... I don't know exactly where else I'd put you.

  Dinah Sheldon : Oh, what about the live class.

  Miss Ingraham : Oh, that's much more advanced. Next year perhaps. I take the girls out myself in the country once a week, and we all do a landscape. Cows, trees. There's some charming sycamores not far away.

  Dinah Sheldon : Miss Ingraham, I'm afraid we just don't understand each other. I mean a life class, the human figure. Rembrandt said it is the basis of all design, all structure. That's what I need. My anatomy's terrible.

  Miss Ingraham : The human figure. You mean unclothed?

  Dinah Sheldon : Certainly.

  Miss Ingraham : Oh! Miss Sheldon! Oh! Miss Sheldon, I want to have a talk with you. Go into my office.

• Dinah Sheldon : If you'll kindly consent to read this you'll notice it's about an art competition. There are three prizes of fifty dollars. I intend to win one of those prizes painting a portrait of you as a spirit of labor.

  Tom Wade : Are you bats?

• Pastor Andrew Sheldon : Dinah, I don't like you being expelled. Miss Ingraham's right, immorality takes many forms.

  Dinah Sheldon : Yes, Papa.

• Dinah Sheldon : Now will you please go away.

  Beau : No question. You need red there in the middle on the nose.

  Mack : That nose is okay.

  Beau : I don't wish to disagree with you Mack, but I seen much a painting, and the way that is, it ain't no good.

  Mack : Looks good to me. Ain't that right?

  Townsman : That's right.

  Mack : Looks like you're wrong, Beau.

  Beau : My dear Sir, when I'm wrong I'll let you know. That nose ain't no good without more red. See?

  Mack : [paints Beau's nose red]  Is that enough red for you?

  Dinah Sheldon : Gentlemen, now please. Stop that, please gentlemen.
