- Ben Jones: Howdy, it comes to me that we ain't exactly the smartest cowboys that ever lived.
- Howdy Lewis: [Nodding, sadly] ... You could say that.
- Ben Jones: Your daughters are sure growin' up, Vince.
- Vince Moore: Huh! I should've had boys. Women are no help at all around here. They've been trying to fix that windmill for a month now.
- Howdy Lewis: We used to have two windmills at our place back home. We had to tear one of 'em down - there wasn't enough wind to turn 'em both.

- Ben Jones: Then do you know what I'm gonna do?
- Howdy Lewis: Yeah, sell him to a soap factory.
- Ben Jones: No, no, I've changed my mind about that. I am gonna sell him to a dog food company. And then I'm gonna buy the first can of food made out of him and I'm gonna get myself the mangiest old hound dog I can find. And I'm gonna feed it to him. That's what I'm gonna do.
