John: "What good's Greek to a farmer's wife?"

Lizzie: "It's Latin, and I ain't marryin' no ignorant farmer."

Counselor: "Are you sure that's wise?"

 

Ruben Huckaback:  "They stole every penny I had. They beat me and chased me for  sport across the moor. They thought I was dead. Where's my granddaughter? Fetch Ruth!"
