- 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.
- Jed Clampett: How are you boys?
- Lester Flatt: Good to see you, Jed.
- Earl Scruggs: Just dandy. How are you?
- Jed Clampett: Oh, twixt grass and hay.
- 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.
- Daisy Moses: Elly honey, run up to the house and fetch us a jug. A body's throat gets a little dry singin' harmony.
- 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.
- Lester Flatt: I thought you said Jethro was a light eater.
- Jed Clampett: He is. He commences eatin' the minute it gets light.
