- How'd you come to settle on peaches?

- One summer when I was a kid, I worked as a picker in a peach harvest in the San Joaquin valley.

- Boy, it sure was something.

- Hundreds of people, old and young... Whole families working together.

Yeah. I could use a good mule driver, maybe 2 or 3.
Let me tell you something, my 2 fine bedfellows! You're so dumb, there's nothing to compare you with! You're dumber than the dumbest jackass! Look at each other, will you? You ever see anything like yourself for being dumb specimens? Ha ha ha ha...!
