- Quotes
Jackie: [Farina shows Jack an ad he found for "Ten colored boys between the ages of 7 and 10 to act as pages" at a Dog and Pet show in town] Gee, how much will that pay?
Farina: Ohhhhhh, around two hundred bucks.
Jackie: Gee, if I had that much money, I'd buy me an airplane, then get married in Mexico and fly all around the South Pole.
Mary Ann: I'd take my Mama to Europe. She always did want to see Chicago.
Twins: [Twin on the left] I'd buy a watermelon.
Twins: [Twin on the right] I'd buy a pork chop.
Our Gang member: We'd buy whole lot chop suey.
Chubby: Yeah, and I'd buy my Dad a million cigars. And a hundred pounds of candy, too.
Buddy: [speaking from offscreen] Yeah, I sus-pose you'd eat all the candy, wouldn't ya!
Chubby: [bashful] Well, of course, a little bit.

Due to perceived racism toward African-Americans, several scenes featuring Farina were edited out of the Little Rascals syndicated television prints in 1971. They remained in 16mm, VHS and DVD home video releases. The scenes were reinstated in 2001 in the prints shown on American Movie Classics until 2003.
The "perceived racism" is actually why I find the film interesting. Not that I like racism, but looking back now (2016), it is interesting to see the newspaper specifically ask for "colored" boys. The term is outdated, but more to the point: why only them? Could white boys not be pages? It is interesting to me how long the black community found work as servants, maids and so on... did the class divide ever really go away?
