"You ornery bastard, take that back!" Millie Owens (Charlene V. Smith) yells at Bomber, the newsboy(Jake Greenberg), after he calls her "goonface."

Flo Owens (Janise Whelan) gives advice to her beautiful daughter, Madge (Tiffany James). "A pretty girl doesn't have long...you better get busy."

Old fraternity brothers Alan Seymour (Sean Mullin) and Hal Carter (Michael Leicht) greet each other. "Kid! The lady said you'd be around!"

Schoolteachers, Christine Schoenwalder (Erin Confair), Rosemary Sydney (Pam Feldman) and Irma Kronkite (Kelly Cardall) happily greet each other at the end of summer vacation. "She's been telling me about all the wicked times she had in New York!"

Hal (Michael Leicht) and Millie (Charlene V. Smith) get playful. "You folks shoulda seen Millie this morning. She did a fine jackknife off the high diving board...almost as good as me!"

"I...I hope you do care for me, Madge," Alan (Sean Mullin) says to his girlfriend (Tiffany James).

Helen Potts (Eva Sivan) enjoys a hug from drifter, Hal (Michael Leicht). "She's my best girl!"

"An old lady like me, if she wants any attention from the young men on a picnic, all she can do is bake a cake!" says Helen Potts (Eva Sivan) to Flo Owens (Janise Whelen) and her daughters, Millie (Charlene V. Smith) and Madge (Tiffany James) as they gather in their communal back yard.

"Hal (Michael Leicht) is uncomfortable when Rosemary (Pam Feldman) forces him to dance with her. "I may be an old maid schoolteacher, but I can keep up with you. Come on, Cowboy!"

Humiliated by Hal's (Michael Leicht) rejection, Rosemary (Pam Feldman) shouts at him, "You'll end your life in a gutter and it'll serve you right!"

The attraction between vagabond, Hal Carter (Michael Leicht) and Madge Owens (Tiffany James) is strong. "Baby, you come out here looking like a pretty little doll, but you're a real woman, aren't you?"

Rosemary Sydney (Pam Feldman) pleads with Howard Bevans (Richard Peck) to marry her. "You said when I got back from vacation you'd be waitin' with the preacher. Where's the preacher, Howard?"
