[last lines]
Fred Gailey : I must be a pretty good lawyer. I take a little old man and legally prove to the world that he's Santa Claus! Now, you and I know that...
[stops suddenly, looks off screen; Doris turns to look]
Doris : [sees a cane resting against the wall] Oh no, it can't be! It must have been left by the people who moved out.
Fred Gailey : [doubtfully] Maybe... And... maybe I didn't do such a wonderful thing after all.

[Doris is trying to convince Susan there is no Santa Claus]
Susan Walker : But when he spoke Dutch to that girl...
Doris Walker : Susan, I speak French, but that doesn't make me Joan of Arc.

Doris : Would you please tell her that you're not really Santa Claus, that actually is no such person?
Kris Kringle : Well, I hate to disagree with you, but not only IS there such a person, but here I am to prove it.

Susan Walker : You mean it's like, 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.'
Doris Walker : Yes.
Susan Walker : I thought so.

Mr. Shellhammer : [re Kris Kringle's living situation] Now let's see - who could rent him a room?
Doris : You! Your son's away at school, what about his room?

Doris : But Kris is through work at six...
Mr. Shellhammer : What about the in-between time? Take him home to dinner. I'll call as soon as my wife's plaster, er, feeling gay.
Doris : Oh, no...
Mr. Shellhammer : If I'm willing to let my wife have a big headache in the morning, you can have a little headache tonight.

Susan : [watching the Macy's parade from the window, sings] There goes Santa Claus!
Doris Walker : [groans, rolls eyes] Oh, don't even mention the name!
Susan : He's much better than last year's.
[sneers]
Susan : At least this one doesn't wear glasses.
Doris Walker : This one was a last minute substitute. The one I hired, I fired.
Susan : Why?
Doris Walker : You remember the way the janitor was last New Years?
Susan : Ohhhh yes.
Doris Walker : Well, this one was much worse!
