Quotes 

• Molly Culhane : Dinner's almost ready, Jessie.

  [Jessie sighs as she puts the milk on the table] 

  Molly Culhane : Does anybody know where the men are?

  Jessie Macahan : Well I don't know where Luke or Josh are, but Orville and Uncle Zeb are out behind the barn.

  Molly Culhane : Again? What on earth do they do out there?

  Jessie Macahan : Well, they drink corn lickor and they tell lies.

  Molly Culhane : For three days running. Nobody can tell lies for that long.

  Jessie Macahan : Oh, they can and boy, do they tell some whoppers!

  Molly Culhane : Oh?

  [takes a bite] 

  Molly Culhane : Just how to you happen to know that, young lady?

  Jessie Macahan : Well, every time I go out and milk the cow, I overhear them talking.

  Molly Culhane : Hm-hm. So that's why milking's been taking so long, eh? And I bet half those stories aren't even fit for a young lady's ears.

  Jessie Macahan : Maybe not, but they sure are fun!

  [takes a bite and wiggles her eyebrows]
