[after being made fun of by members of high society]
Longfellow Deeds:
It's easy to make fun of somebody if you don't care how much you hurt 'em. I think your poems are swell, Mr. Brookfield, but I'm disappointed in you. I know I must look funny to you, but maybe if you went to Mandrake Falls you'd look just as funny to us. Only nobody would laugh at you and make you feel ridiculous, 'cause that wouldn't be good manners. I guess maybe it is comical to write poems for postcards, but a lot of people think they're good. Anyway, it's the best I can do. So if you'll excuse me, we'll be leaving. I guess I found out that all famous people - aren't big people.
[the high society members fall silent, then break into raucous laughter]
Longfellow Deeds:
[turning back to them]
There's just one thing more. If it weren't for Miss Dawson being here with me, I'd probably bump your heads together.
Babe Bennett:
[brightly]
Oh, I don't mind!
Longfellow Deeds:
[beat]
Then I guess maybe I will.
