  Jed Clampett : Well, I have been takin' em out and um buryin' 'em.

• Jane Hathaway : [Mr. Drysdale is calling the telephone company business office]  This is the home of private phones and unlisted numbers. You'll never get the Clampetts a party line.

  Milburn Drysdale : Don't worry. The right threat can accomplish miracles.

  Jane Hathaway : You're going to threaten the telephone company?

  Milburn Drysdale : [Mr. Drysdale hands Miss Hathaway the phone]  No, I'm going to threaten you. Get them a party line or you're fired.
