• Floyd Lawson : Well Opie, it was my ancestor, Colonel Caleb Lawson who was in at the very beginning, Ol' Stonewall Lawson. He was the big hero.

  Goober Pyle : What?

  Floyd Lawson : That's right. Those are the facts.

  Goober Pyle : Well it just so happens one of my kinfolk is the hero. Colonel Goober Pyle of the North Carolina 7th cavalry. I never even heard of Colonel Lawson.

  Floyd Lawson : Never heard of him? Read your history, boy. Why he had the biggest herd of cattle in the settlement. The indians drivin' the herd off started the whole thing.

  Opie Taylor : Gee, I didn't know that.

  Goober Pyle : I ain't surprised. Nobody knows that except for Floyd.

  Floyd Lawson : You lookin' for trouble?

  Goober Pyle : Before you write all that down, Ope, it happened to be my ancestor who come roarin' outta the stockade and held them bloodthirsty savages off.

  Floyd Lawson : Opie, you ain't puttin' all that bushwa down?

  Goober Pyle : Don't you call my relatives bushwa!

  Floyd Lawson : All I want is this boy to get the truth.

  Goober Pyle : Then he come to the wrong place.
