- Doc Thomas 'Tom' Terry: [POSSIBLE SPOILER: adoptive father and son are saying goodbye, as Doc Terry has to leave Mickey and serve a prison sentence] I guess it'd be kinda, kinda sissy for two great big men like us to kiss, huh? Well, goodbye, sonny.
- Michael 'Mickey': [Mickey is devastated, running after his 'Pop' for one last embrace] Pop, it wouldn't be sissy on the cheek.
- Mrs. Shepherd: [Doc Terry leaves, and Mrs Shepherd, Mickey's benefactor for horse racing, comes up to comfort him] You'll work for him, Mickey. A few months, perhaps a year at the most.
- Michael 'Mickey': [Mickey has hope in his eyes as he tenderly strokes his own cheek] Gee, that ain't such a long time for a guy to go without washing his face, is it!
