- Ed Parker: Say, young man, do you know the best way to cook a goose?
- Dell Fraser: Eh?
- Alf Simes: He wants to know if you know the best way to cook a goose.
- Dell Fraser: No.
- Alf Simes: [shouting] He says "no", Ed.
- Ed Parker: Oh.
- Alf Simes: [to Abbott] He's kinda hard o' hearing.
- Ed Parker: Well, Sir, you take a goose and you put it in a pan. And you take a hand, a big hand, full of bread stuffing, you know? And then you mix that stuffing thoroughly with about, eh, oh, I'd say a half a jug of hard cider. Then you put in a pinch of nutmeg, just a pinch. Then you baste the goose for about, er, oh... about three hours. You baste it with a pint and half of good Jamaica rum.
- Dell Fraser: [skeptically] yeah, well...
- Ed Parker: Then, you throw the goose away. And you drink the gravy!
- Cam Calloway: Buck, I been asking around. You know something? We could buy this whole place for eleven hundred dollars. I mean, lake and all.
- Bucky Calloway: Buy it? Well, what for, Pa? It runs mostly to marsh.
- Cam Calloway: Well, for the geese. You know, for a stopping-over place. Some place they could come down every year and be safe from these dogs and guns.
- Bucky Calloway: Yeah, but they don't stop every year.
- Cam Calloway: Just cos' they ain't been invited. There's a way of bringing them down. Indians got a trick; all you got to do is plant some corn. See you could put a patch over there.
- Bucky Calloway: Just corn?
- Cam Calloway: Like saying molasses to a bear cub. Them geese can spot a corn husk from two miles up.
- Bucky Calloway: I don't know, Pa. Eleven hundred; it might as well be eleven million.
- Cam Calloway: Yeah. Well, it's something to think on, anyhow.
