  Mrs. Tifton : Well, you certainly stared as though you'd never seen a woman at all before.

  Jeff : Listen, Toots. I seen plenty. And I seen a lot better than you.

  Mrs. Tifton : Well, you certainly seemed to be enjoying it at the time. You know, you could have turned around if you didn't like it.

  Jeff : Yeah? And if you didn't like it you could have ducked down. It don't take no longer to do one than the other.

  Mrs. Tifton : I demand this man's arrest immediately!

  Mrs. Tifton : Huh?
