- Uncle Jesse Jackson: That dog's a foreign dog.
- Skeeter Jackson: Maybe it's a Yankee dog. You know how Yankees are.
- Uncle Jesse Jackson: I don't know much about Yankees, thank the good Lord, but that dog's been around folks. Don't belong around here.
- Uncle Jesse Jackson: Be John Brown; it smelled us. Can't nothin' smell that far, but that thing did.
- Skeeter Jackson: What you think, Uncle Jessie?
- Uncle Jesse Jackson: Just ain't natural. Like a dog crossed with a cat, and dogs and cats ain't supposed to cross.
- Skeeter Jackson: Like I told ya. Sort of figured on catchin' it.
- Uncle Jesse Jackson: How you aim to catch somethin' that can smell a mile and run like greased lightning? Might's well go home.
