Flora - "It's a decree from the President of the United States. From now on we must all wear bows in our hair regardless of how old we are - and regardless of whether we are women or men!!"
Kendrick: I just want to know, Miss Collins: did Gabriel give Melanie his cooties or did Melanie give Gabriel her cooties? Julia: Mr. Young, in the Collins family we do not give cooties! We give Bubonic Plague!!
The thing about flowers that ignited Kendrick's righteous indignation more than anything else was their habit of looking pretty and smelling wonderful!
