Cap'n Cobb : Ain't goin' no place right now.
George Russel : Barrel's marked for New Orleans.

Davy Crockett : What'd they do that for?
Cap'n Cobb : Heard about the Injuns.
Davy Crockett : Didn't know there was any Injun trouble around here.
Cap'n Cobb : Oh, not here. Downriver somewhere. Other side of Shawnee Town. Them red devils is attackin' everything, flatboats loaded with settlers, even on keelboats. Got so bad, nobody'd sign on.
George Russel : Injuns don't seem to be scarin' off Mike Fink none.
Cap'n Cobb : Ah, him and them Pittsburgh pole pushers of his ain't human enough to be scared!
