T.D. Shawnessy : [to Flash, who is drinking beer in public] Flash Perkins, don't you know that your body is the temple of the spirit, and you defile and pollute it with that Devil's brew you have there?
Orville 'Flash' Perkins : [Nonchalantly] Why, if you say so, pappy...
T.D. Shawnessy : Why don't you come 'round to our next temperance rally. Come 'round and take the Total Abstinence Pledge.
Orville 'Flash' Perkins : Why, pappy, I'll take that pledge right now.
T.D. Shawnessy : Orville, we want men to take that pledge only when they're sober.
Orville 'Flash' Perkins : But if they're sober, what's the point in havin' them take the pledge?
[Everybody laughs]
