Billina: Some place for a chicken coop! How big is this pond anyway?
Dorothy: I don't think it's a pond, Billina.
[gets up and looks around]
Dorothy: I guess it is a pond.
Billina: Hmm, told you so.
Dorothy: Where did all the rest of the water go?
Billina: Where did Kansas go? Ohh, this is some place for a chicken coop.
Dorothy: When did you learn to talk anyway? I thought hens could only cluck and cackle.
Billina: Strange, ain't it? How's my grammar?

Nurse Wilson: Lie down.
Dorothy: I'd like to sit up, if I may.
Nurse Wilson: What did your aunt tell you?
Dorothy: To do what you told me, Miss Wilson.
Nurse Wilson: Then, lie down.
[the attendants are strapping Dorothy to the stretcher]
Dorothy: Why do you have to tie me down?
Nurse Wilson: So that you don't fall off.
Dorothy: I came all the way from the farm on a buggy and I didn't fall off.
[They start to wheel Dorothy down the hall]
Dorothy: Did I hear somebody scream earlier?
Nurse Wilson: No.
[They wheel Dorothy through some double doors. Dr. Worley is adjusting his machine]
Dr. Worley: Hello, Dorothy. How are you?
Dorothy: I wish I wasn't tied down.
Dr. Worley: [chuckles] Nothing to worry about.
