• Jane Hathaway : [reading Granny's recipe for biscuits]  Into one whole heap of flour, stir 2 middlin' amounts of buttermilk and a smidgen of... I don't understand.

  Jed Clampett : Well, them is mountain measurements. A smidgen is just a teensy little bit, just like that. 3 smidgens makes one pinch. 4 pinches equals one little bit. 4 little bits equals one middlin' amount. 3 middlin' amounts equals one right smart and it takes 5 right smarts to make a whole heap.

• Jane Hathaway : Soon I shall be cooking for you all the time.

  Jethro Bodine : You will?

  Jane Hathaway : Of course. Three meals a day.

  Jethro Bodine : I ain't cuttin' down to three meals a day! No ma'am! Uh-uh! Not me! No!

• Jane Hathaway : You sit down. I shall serve you the food and we'll discuss our future.

  Jethro Bodine : Our what?

  Jane Hathaway : Oh there are plans to be made, dear boy. For example, when shall we have our nuptials?

  Jethro Bodine : Well, let's have 'em with the biscuits and red eye gravy.

• Jethro Bodine : Please don't cry, Miss Jane. Your biscuits are better'n mine. Leastwise they's softer. And your gravy smells just scrumptious.

  Jane Hathaway : The gravy is good?

  Jethro Bodine : Well I betcha it would be if I could get it outta the bowl. It sure did set up fast.
