Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson: Noah
Quotes
-
Noah : I live right here. Why don't you give us the pleasure of your company for dinner? I believe the old lady has killed a chicken.
-
De Lawd : Noah, just what seems to be the main trouble with mankind?
Noah : Well, the main trouble is the whole district is wide open. That makes for loose livin'. The menfolk spend all their time fightin', loafin', gamblin', and making bad liquor.
De Lawd : And what about the women?
Noah : The women is worse than the men. If they ain't makin' love powder, they're out beg, borrowin', stealin' money.

Noah : Okay, Lawd! We's all aboard!

Noah : I can get snakes, lots of 'em. Course, some of them is a little dangerous. Maybe I better take a keg of liquor, too.
De Lawd : You can have a keg of liquor.
Noah : Yes, sah, there sure is lots of different kind of snakes, come to think of it. There's cottonmouths, water moccasins, rattlers. Why there must be 100 different kind of snakes down in the swamps. Maybe I better take two kegs of liquor.
De Lawd : I think the one keg is enough.
Noah : No, I better take two kegs. Besides, I can put one on each side of the boat and balance the ship with them, as well as having them for medicinal uses.
De Lawd : You can put one keg in the middle of the ship.
Noah : It's just as easy to take two kegs, Lawd.
De Lawd : I think the one keg is enough.
Noah : Yes, I know, Lawd, but you see 40 days and 40 nights...
De Lawd : One keg, Noah.
Noah : Yes, Lawd, one keg.
