• Jim Quince : Wishbone?

  Wishbone : Now what's the matter with that popcorn? Don't it just melt in your mouth?

  Jim Quince : Four legged ghost.

  Wishbone : Looks like a stray lamb to me.

  [All the men approach the little white critter and try to befriend the little pup only to be usurped by Mushy who entices the dog away with a plate of food. All the grown men follow like sheep] 

• Rowdy Yates : What it is?

  Mushy : Mr Wishbone thinks it's a lamb.

  Wishbone : Well, it's got a fleece, ain't it?

  Pete Nolan : Ain't a lamb. It's a dog. It's only one of them French Pood-Lees.

  Rowdy Yates : Huh?

  Pete Nolan : French Pood-Lee.

  Wishbone : You and Mushy seem to know everything.

  Pete Nolan : I knew a fancy lady once in New Orleans, had a dog just like this. Used to lead it around on a leather strap right down the street. How this one got all the way out here by herself, I don't know.

  Mushy : Excuse me, Mr Nolan, by HISSELF!

• Mushy : Looks like one of them already ate your cooking, Mr Wishbone. The Last One.

  Wishbone : Off the wagon.

  Mushy : It was only a joke.

  Wishbone : Anybody makes jokes about my cooking, I do it. Off the wagon.

  Mushy : I thought you had a sense of humour.

• Wishbone : Well, maybe you two smart know-it-alls can tell me how the Good Lord happened to make him like this?

  Pete Nolan : Just like they growed you.

  Wishbone : Well, I'll get your supper before I learn something else I don't want to know.
