• Dave Dawson : You ain't gonna shoot me now, are ya?

  Uncle Felix : I ain't gonna shoot nobody, son. But, this gun might.

• Uncle Felix : Son, you get up from there and get goin'.

  Dave Dawson : I don't have to do what you say.

  Uncle Felix : It ain't me that's talkin', boy. It's this gun.

• Uncle Felix : Mr. Ty Ty, you oughta' be out raisin' cotton. You're a good farmer - that is, you USED to be. Why, Mr. Ty Ty, you can raise more cotton on this land in one season than you can find gold in a whole lifetime. It's a waste of everything, Mr. Ty Ty, diggin' them holes all over the place.

  Ty Ty Walden : Well, now, I wish I had spent a little more time on the cotton, that's for sure. If I had 20 or 30 bales to tide me over the fall and winter, I could devote all the rest of my time to diggin'!

  Uncle Felix : But Mr. Ty Ty, where're we gonna' get enough grub to carry us through another winter?

  Ty Ty Walden : We use my credit, like we did last winter!

  Uncle Felix : The store man says you ain't got enough credit to grease the end of your nose.

  Ty Ty Walden : Felix, I'm sorry about that, but there's nothing' I can do. I just GOT to go on diggin'. I got the fever! Ya' can't stop the fever!
