All That Money Can Buy - The Value of Good Neighbors
Jabez Stone:
What do you have on your mind?
Daniel Webster:
You, Jabez Stone. You and a lot of poor farmers hereabouts... all good men of the earth and in trouble because of you. Or am I wrong about those contracts?
Jabez Stone:
Without me and my money they wouldn't have anything.
Daniel Webster:
They'd have a good neighbor - and that's worth more than anything else... much, much more.

All That Money Can Buy - Justice and Judgment in Unusual Circumstances
Mr. Scratch:
You shall have your trial, Mr. Webster. But I'm sure you'll agree, this is hardly the case for an ordinary jury.
Daniel Webster:
Let it be the quick or the dead, so long as it is an American judge and an American jury!
Mr. Scratch: [he stomps on the barn floor; a door opens]
The quick or the dead! You have said it. You must pardon the leathery toughness of one or two.
Jabez Stone: [afraid]
Mr. Webster!
Mr. Scratch: [[Benedict Arnold]
Captain Kidd, he killed men for gold. Simon Girty, the renegade; he burned men for gold. Governor Dale, he broke men on the wheel. Asa, the Black Monk, he choked them to death. Floyd Ireson and Stede Bonnet, the fiendish butchers. Walter Butler, the king of the massacre. Big and Little Harpe, robbers and murderers. Teach, the cutthroat. Morton, the vicious lawyer. And General ], you remember him, no doubt.
Daniel Webster:
A jury of the damned.
Mr. Scratch: [laughs]
Dastards, liars, traitors, knaves.
Daniel Webster:
This is monstrous.
Mr. Scratch:
You asked for a jury trial, Mr. Webster. Your suggestion – the quick or the dead.
Daniel Webster:
I asked for a fair trial.
Mr. Scratch:
Americans all.

All That Money Can Buy - The Comforts of Waiting with Rum
Daniel Webster:
How long do we have to wait?
Jabez Stone:
Til midnight.
Daniel Webster: [chuckles and takes a drink]
Oh, that's fine - then we have time to christen a jug. Old Medford rum: aahh, there's nothing like it. You know, somehow or other, waiting becomes wonderfully shorter with a jug. I saw an inchworm once take a drop of this and he stood right up on his hind legs and bit a bee! Will you have a nip?
Jabez Stone:
No, there's no joy in it for me.
Daniel Webster:
Oh, come, come now. Just because you sold your soul to the devil that needn't make you a teetotaler.

All That Money Can Buy - The Value and Use of Money
Jabez Stone:
Money's a funny thing ain't it, Ma?
Ma Stone:
I figure it depends a mite on how you get it and how you spend it.
Jabez Stone:
But I don't spend any.
Ma Stone:
But you should, son. That's all it's good for.
Jabez Stone:
Do you really think that?
Ma Stone:
That's just common sense. Now a man like Daniel Webster: guess they pay him high for what he does, but he's worth it. And he helps others... makes all the difference.
Jabez Stone:
I know. But suppose a man got his money in bad ways?
Ma Stone:
Wouldn't profit him none. You see, son: I'm old and I've lived. When a man gets his money in bad way... when he sees the better course and takes the worse... then the devil's in his heart. And that fixes him.
Jabez Stone:
And yet... a man could change all that couldn't he?
Ma Stone:
A man can always change things. That's what makes him different from the barnyard critters.

All That Money Can Buy - Promises of Wealth vs. True Happiness
Jabez Stone:
You promised me happiness, love, and friendship!
Mr. Scratch:
Just a minute. I promised you money and all that money could buy. I don't recall any other obligations.

All That Money Can Buy - The Value of a Soul in Wealth
Jabez Stone:
What does it mean here, about my soul?
Mr. Scratch:
Why should that worry you? A soul? A soul is nothing. Can you see it, smell it, touch it? No. This soul, your soul, are nothing against seven years of good luck. You'll have money and all that money can buy.
