Molly Winks quotes from Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks

Molly

No! This is naughty, Lamby! This food doesn't belong to you! I'm sorry, but you shouldn't even be here. Lambs should be in the field with the other sheep. It's time to take you home.

Ferny

Oh, your mother's going to be powerful mad!

Piggley

Plan B. Molly, you go keep Mammy busy outside. We're going to clean up! Like Captain Clean of the Clean Brigade on a really clean, cleany day!

Molly

Okay, Piggley! [goes outside to distract Elly] Mammy! You came back!

Elly

Well, yes. I live here, don't you know?

Molly

[hanging on Mammy's arm] Oh! I am so glad you came home! Now you can... uh... you can hear me alphabet!

Elly

Oh, not right now, pet. I have things to-

Molly

A, B, C... Q, R, 1... I am not so nearly done.

Molly

What's so great about fishing?

Padrig

Well, now. On Lake Beghorra, ya never know what you might see. Like the time not too long ago when I was out fishin'. I wasn't catchin' so much as a cold. Then all of a sudden, I hooked the strangest thing. A hat! A red hat!

Padrig

It wasn't too long before a fella came swimmin' by, lookin' for the hat.

Padrig

I gave it back to him, and... he thanked me kindly. Then he disappeared beneath the water.

Ferny

[gasps] Janey Mack!

Piggley

Then what happened, dad?

Padrig

Well, now... The next thing I knew, like a streak of light, me boat was jettin' across the lake, sure I couldn't see what was pullin' me, then suddenly, I came to a stop. I was at a part of the lake I'd never seen before. Lookin' around, I thought I saw that fella with the red hat swimmin' away. Then, a fish tail as big as your side slapped the water! And he was gone.

Piggley

Jakers! A... A merman!

Ferny

Oh... A fishy fello.

Padrig

Well, I can't say for sure, lads. All I know is that very place where me boat stopped... turned out to be the best fishin' spot of all time.

Molly

What are you all doin'?

Shhh!

Piggley

We're makin' a picnic lunch for dad!

Molly

Why are you doin' that?

Ferny

Ugh... It's for the fishing trip tomorrow!

Molly

Oh...

Dannan

I'll take Molly back to bed. You boys go ahead and make the sandwiches.

Molly

Will you make one for me too, Piggley? Pleeeaaase?

Piggley

Okay, okay. Just be quiet!

Molly

Sweets, too? Pleeeease!

Piggley

Ugh, fine...

Piggley

[to Ferny] Jakers...

Ferny

Uh, Piggley, do you think the baby dragon might really eat Dannan?

Piggley

No. They only eat princesses.

Ferny

Oh. [Molly peeks over the gate] Piggley, where are we gonna find a princess?

Molly

I'm a princess. Someday, I'll be the queen.

Ferny

[bluntly] You're a goner.

Piggley

[making a sandwich his own way for Molly] Now, what do you say to that?

Molly

THAT'S NOT HOW MAMMY DOES IT!!!

Piggley

Of course not! Like I told you, it's a Piggley special.

Molly

I don't like the Piggley special sandwich! I like Mammy's sandwiches!

Piggley

Sure you haven't even tried it?

Molly

MAMMYYYYYY!!!

Piggley

[reading to Molly] Buck Bravo was the bravest sheriff in the wild west. Wherever he went, people felt safer knowing he was on the job.

Molly

Where's the wild west?

Piggley

In America. It's where cowboys come from. Whenever there was trouble, a call would go out, and Buck would ride to the rescue.

Molly

[gasps] To save a princess?

Piggley

There's no princesses in the wild west, Molly. Buck would saddle up his trusty horse, Dusty, and--

Molly

Can Dusty fly?

Piggley

Horses can't fly, Molly.

Molly

Princess Princy Plumme's horse can fly.

Piggley

[gives up] And they lived happily ever after, the end!

Piggley

Are you whacked?! It's too dangerous for little girls!

Molly

No fair!

Piggley

Yes, fair!

Molly

Well, if you ask me, I think this whole thing is bogus!
