Anne Hilton : [Fidelia places presents under the tree] What are those, Fidelia?
Fidelia : Mr. Hilton done sent these to me a long time ago and told me to put them under the Christmas tree just like we've always done.
[gets choked up]
Anne Hilton : Now, now, now, no tears, Fidelia. There's nothing to cry about.
Fidelia : I can't help it. He sent me something, too. Mr. Hilton never forgot me, even when he was fighting them devils.
Anne Hilton : He'll be so happy to hear that you're back on the old job again.
Fidelia : Yes, ma'am. Miz Hilton, can I confide you something?
Anne Hilton : Yes, Fidelia.
Fidelia : Brig sent her daddy his gift just like nothing had happened.
Anne Hilton : Of course she did. So did Jane. So did I.
Fidelia : You all did that? Miz Hilton, I guess I just ain't on the right side of the Lord. I just ain't had the right kind of faith. But I will have. From now on, I'll be a true believer.

Brig Hilton : Class president! Class pin-up girl. I heard all about how she got elected.
Anne Hilton : Oh, that's not fair, Brig. Becky's a very bright girl.
Emily Hawkins : She most certainly is. I would say that Becky's one of the brightest, and one of the most attractive girls in this town.
Anne Hilton : Oh, I wouldn't go so far as to say that.
Fidelia : No, ma'am!
