• Lion : [Cuddling with Elly May] 

  Elly May Clampett : How'd you like to come over and live in the back room of our general store? I'll bet you we wouldn't have no mice with *you* there!

• Jed Clampett : Now, these small-town boys are different. They're more friendly. You'll get yourself a husband in no time at all.

  Elly May Clampett : I will?

  Jed Clampett : You play your cards right, you will.

  Elly May Clampett : Well, what do I do?

  Jed Clampett : Well, first off, you get yourself into a dress, and be your own sweet, purty self, and the first thing you know, some boy will ask you out.

  Elly May Clampett : Well, out where?

  Jed Clampett : Well, out to a church social, a husking bee, something.

  Elly May Clampett : Well, then what?

  Jed Clampett : If you play your cards right, he'll ask you out again, to dance, or moonlight hayride, something real romantic.

  Elly May Clampett : Well, then what?

  Jed Clampett : Well, play your cards right, first thing you know, you're married!

  Elly May Clampett : Well, is that all there is to it?

  Jed Clampett : Elly, I reckon I didn't tell it very good, but, uh, that card-playing can be a heap of fun!

  Jed Clampett : [later]  Granny, I think you best have a talk with Elly about courting and such.

  Daisy Moses : I thought you was gonna do that.

  Jed Clampett : I tried, but the way I left it, first fella that asks for her hand is liable to wind up holding a fistful of cards!
