• Elizabeth : Did you know that the Fenty's had an apple farm back in Pennsylvania?

  Ben Rumson : Apple jack, huh?

  Mr. Fenty : No, sir, we did not make apple jack!

  Ben Rumson : Then, what did you grow the apples for?

  Mr. Fenty : Mr. Rumson, do you think that everything that comes out of the earth should be used to make liquor?

  Ben Rumson : Whenever possible, yes.

• Mr. Fenty : Horton, how did that bottle get in your pocket? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING HARD LIQUOR?

  Horton : Well, since this afternoon. I know you don't approve, Pop, but believe me, until you've had a good cigar and a shot of whiskey, you're missing the second and third best things in life.

  Rumson : Horton!

  Pardner : Where'd you take him, Ben?

  Elizabeth : Damn you, Ben Rumson. What are you going to teach this boy next? How to cheat at cards, or just physical education with one of Willie's floozies?

  Horton : That's the best one, Pop!

  Rumson : Horton!

  Elizabeth : Is that what you did today, Ben?

  Rumson : That's what *he* did today, Elizabeth! I tell you, that boy's got a talent for dissipation that is absolutely unique!
