Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : [At the State Reform School for girls, an inmate is at the piano singing the song "Diane", which includes the lyric "I'm in heaven when I see you smile"] Will ya stop remindin' me of heaven... when I'm so close to the other place?
Prisoner at Checkers Table : What's the matter Mary? Don't you like our little hotel?
Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : Oh, I think it's swell. The ventilation is great, my room has a southern exposure, the rates are cheap, but somehow or other the atmosphere is too confining.
Fat Prisoner : Don't let it getcha down, kid. At least we don't have to wait in line for a bowl of soup like they do outside.
Mrs. Black, Prisoner at Checkers Table : Don't be always a-stewin', dearie. You only get your insides in an uproar, and for what? You're in and you're gonna stay in till they get even with ya for bustin' the rules.
Mary Keaton, aka Mary Bernard : Yeah, I'm in alright, but that don't mean I hafta like it.
Mrs. Black, Prisoner at Checkers Table : I'll betcha a red herring against a case of pre-war scotch it was some man that got you pushed in here. Well, don't sit around figurin' the worst things you'd do to him if he was Mussolini. Just make up your mind not to get tangled up with a man again. Any man!
