Wishbone : Well, when I was about hip-high, some older fellas thought they's have some fun, so they strung me up in a church belfry. They told me when the sexton rung the bell, I was gonna fall. And they run off and left me there dangling. When I looked down and saw that sexton come in and reach for that rope, I was so scared I could hardly holler. Then when he did yank on it, I just plain passed out.

Dr. Jethro Manning : Mr Wishbone, have you ever had trouble with your eyes before?
Wishbone : Not so's you'd notice, of course. I've seen a few things I wish I hadn't.

Mushy : Mr Wishbone, here, let me do it.
Wishbone : [Wish is whacking a pack of steaks on the bone with his cleaver, whack, whack, whack!] You picked the toughest piece of meat in the wagon! Now I gotta soak them all night in vinegar and oil in order to have them for breakfast. And your coffee's boiling over. Do I have to do everything around here? I said, blind or not, I gotta.
Mushy : I'll get it for you, Mr Wishbone.
Wishbone : [Wish knocks into Mushy who falls over with boiling hot coffee all over himself and his hand suffers the most] Now what've you done?
Mushy : Spilt the coffee.
Wishbone : [Wish can't hear Mushy's whimpers of pain] I might have known. You haven't done anything right today.

Wishbone : What would you have me do? Juggle a few plates while I turn cartwheels while I sing a few choruses of Dixie? I'm blind. All I got left is my ears, and my nose, and my hands.

Wishbone : No, sir, I'm not gonna move one foot. Not today. Now it isn't gonna do you any good to bellow about 'cos it won't change a thing.
Rowdy Yates : Wishbone, I think you oughta do like the man here says.
Wishbone : Look at the both of ya. Skinny as broomhandles. And look at them. Bone and frazzled and bad disposition. Why? 'Cos they been working too hard. And they haven't been eating right. No, sir, they're not gonna move a foot today either.
