Quotes 

  • Billy : Grandpa says, in New England, everyone's going crazy over coon skin coats

    Father : That right?

    Billy : So we should be gettin' a good price.

    Father : I'll tell you what. I'll let you have one whole wall of that smokehouse if you think you and them dogs can cover it.

    Billy : It's not hardly big enough, is it?

  • Billy : I couldn't come home, mama. My dogs had a coon up this tree.

    Grandpa : Well, he sure picked a big sycamore.

    Billy : Biggest one in the whole river bottom.

    Grandpa : That's all right. The bigger they come, the harder they fall.

    Father : Well, there's no sense chopping down a tree like this, just for one coon. Come on, Billy, we gotta go.

    Billy : I can't, papa.

    Father : Why not?

    Billy : I made a bargain with my dogs. I told them if they'd put one up a tree, I'd do the rest. They did their part, it's up to me to do mine.

    Mother : Well you're quitting, and that's that, so come on. Let's go. Billy, do I have to whip you on top of all the punishment you already brought on yourself? Do I?

    Billy : Yes, ma'am.

    Father : A man can't keep his word, Jenny, he's not much good. Especially to himself.

    Grandpa : I say amen to that, Jenny.
