- Where'd you hit them?

- Right through their eyes.

- Excuse me for butting in, but there's no game around here worth going after.

- It wouldn't take one week for a real hunter to clean up all around for 5 miles in each direction.

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...!
