Steve Judd : [Meeting Joshua Knudsen when they arrive at his farmstead] We're on our way to Coarse Gold. Wondered if you could furnish accommodations for the night?
Joshua Knudsen : Well, I've got no room in the house. But I've no objection if you want to spend the night in the barn.
Steve Judd : Thank you, sir. If you could spare us a few eggs, we'd be glad to pay for them.
Joshua Knudsen : Well, you can have one, because the Lord's bounty is not for sale... The rest are a dollar each.
Heck Longtree : [Outraged at the price] A dollar each! Now how in the world do those short-legged chickens lay eggs so high?
Joshua Knudsen : [Dourly] Levity in the young is likened to a dry gourd, with the seeds rattling around.
