  Lester Flatt : That's what we call it in the evening, Granny, but if we play it before noon, it's called "Louise and Gladys Wake Up"

  Earl Scruggs : Yeah, it's the only way we can get our wives outta bed in the mornin'.

• Lester Flatt : Say Jed, how come you ain't married up with one of these Beverly Hills women?

  Jed Clampett : Why shucks, Lester, these fine high-steppin' society fillies ain't about to jump into double harness with a ole country plow horse like me.

  Earl Scruggs : We done alright and you wouldn't exactly call us Kentucky Derby winners.

• Lester Flatt : If Granny could just learn 'em to cook, we got ourself a couple of cracker-jack wives.

  Earl Scruggs : That's the truth. You cain't beat a woman that looks city and cooks country.

• Milburn Drysdale : Speaking of your beautiful sophisticated city wives, how did you happen to meet them?

  Earl Scruggs : We were playin' an engagement in New York City and we held an audition for girl singers.
