Milly: Don't you like girls?
Gideon: We ain't never hardly ever seen one.

Milly: Good morning my brothers. If you're looking for your outside clothes they're hanging up drying on the line. I came in before and got them. I couldn't get your inside clothes so I'll take them now.
Benjamin Pontipee: Our underwear?
Milly: You're winter underwear that you're sleeping in. You might as well hand it over because you're not gonna get your clothes or food or nothing til you get all cleaned up and shaved.
Benjamin Pontipee: Where's Adam? We wanna talk to Adam.
Milly: He's out plowing, he had his breakfast over a half an hour ago. I got hot muffins waiting, crisp bacon, steak, fryer potatoes, fresh ground coffee. Now do I get that winter underwear or do I have to come in there and take it off of you?
Benjamin Pontipee: Don't listen to her. She wouldn't dare.
Milly: Oh wouldn't I?

Milly: Raise your hat. What's the matter, Caleb?
Caleb: My hair ain't combed.

Milly: Say something nice, Gideon.
Gideon: Nice night for a coon hunt.

Milly: Somehow it just don't seem fitting for a man to spend his wedding night in a tree.

Milly: Well, it wouldn't hurt you to learn some manners, too.
Adam: What do I need manners for? I already got me a wife.

Milly: Which one is Ephraim and which is Daniel?
Ephraim Pontipee, Daniel Pontipee: Me.
Milly: Y'all live around here?
Caleb: Not round, here.

Adam: [on his wedding night] 9 o'clock an hour past your bedtime.
Frank: Yours too.

Adam: [singing to Gideon about being in love] How can you tell what's in its spell? How can you tell unless you've tried it? Wait for that kiss you're certain of. And let your heart decide when you're in love.

Adam: [to Gideon] What's the matter with you? Someone butt you in the bread basket?
