- Janey Rausch: Maybe we do have that guardian angel.
- Jimmy Tennyson: I never really thought about it when I use to live here... But it's like someone put a fence around the town - nice people live to a ripe old age and the mean ones all seem to die off.
- Dr. Leonard Cook: There you are - made especially for Billy, lettered as "Cook MD". Now you take care of that autograph - very valuable!
- Jimmy Tennyson: I remember many things, Doc. This town, how peaceful and quiet it is; and you, your garden, this house, hanging around here almost every day after school. Dreaming of growing up to be... like you. I guess it's all a part of my life.
- Dr. Leonard Cook: You don't know how proud I am to hear you say that.
- Elias Hart: Tags? I'm havin' dinner and you want to know about tags?
- Jimmy Tennyson: Please, Elias, tell me what they mean - the letters on the tags.
- Elias Hart: Well, so Doc tells me what to do, now that I don't come on regular days anymore. "P" for prune, "T" for transplant, like that...
- Jimmy Tennyson: All right. What does "R" stand for?
- Elias Hart: You can ask Doc, you know!
- Jimmy Tennyson: I'm asking you, Elias! Please - its important! What does "R" stand for?
- Elias Hart: Remove, "R" for remove. Sick plants, hurt plants - we pull 'em out! That's why it keeps the garden lookin' so perfect all the time.
- Jimmy Tennyson: Remove?
- Elias Hart: That's right!
- Dr. Leonard Cook: I don't expect you to understand.
- Jimmy Tennyson: Understand what? That it's all right to remove people just because they interfere with what you think is perfect?
- Dr. Leonard Cook: This is the happiest, healthiest town in the whole state - maybe in the whole country, maybe in the whole world! It might very well be!
