- Lester Flatt: Well aren't you comin' in, Darling?
- Gladys Flatt: No, Lester. Miss Hathaway's going to drive me right to the studio for wardrobe fitting.
- Earl Scruggs: You're both gonna miss Granny's vittles.
- Gladys Flatt, Jane Hathaway: Yeah.
- Earl Scruggs: Lester, did she say "Gladys Delovely?"
- Lester Flatt: Yeah, that's the name one of those publicity fellas made up.
- Earl Scruggs: I kinda hope she don't get famous.
- Lester Flatt: Whaddaya mean?
- Earl Scruggs: Well, folks might go to calling you by her name. I don't know how that'd set back in Tennessee. Lester Delovely and Earl Scruggs.
- Elly May Clampett: [Lester is stunned after Gladys calls to tell him that her screen test was a big success] Want me to hang up the phone, Mr. Flatt?... Mr. Flatt?
- Earl Scruggs: See if he answers to Mr. Delovely.
- Daisy Moses: Sit down, Lester. Have some breakfast.
- Lester Flatt: No thank you, Granny. I had one of Gladys' hoecakes first thing this mornin'.
- Jed Clampett: Well that ain't enough to hold a man who was choppin' wood at the crack of dawn.
- Lester Flatt: I wasn't choppin' wood, I was tryin' to slice that hoecake.
- Gladys Flatt: I changed my mind about being a movie star. I just wanna be this man's wife.
- Lester Flatt: Gladys, I ain't one to thump a free melon, but how come?
- Gladys Flatt: Well, I never realized how much you love me, Lester. Any man who can eat my horrible hoecake and not complain.
- Lester Flatt: I've eaten worse things.
- Gladys Flatt: You have?
- Lester Flatt: Yeah, your grits.
