Shotgun Wedding (1963)

Jackie Searl: Silas

Quotes 

• Silas : I had an idea that no-good, sneakin' river-rat, Rafe Anchors, might have been playin' Peepin' Tom around here.

  Honey Bee : I ain't seen Rafe all day.

  Silas : [emphatic]  And you better not, no time, never, no more!

  Honey Bee : [pleading]  But, Pa, how am I ever gonna get married if you don't let no boy come a-courtin' me?

  Silas : Courtin' and a-wooin' brings dallyin' and doin'. I don't aim for you to have no woods-colt by that dirty river trash.

  Honey Bee : [passionately]  I'm just a-itchin' ta get married!

  Silas : [sympathetic]  I know you're a-itchin', Honey Bee.

• Silas : [catching Honey Bee making out with a man, outdoors]  You harlot!

  Honey Bee : [pleading]  No, Pa, we was just talkin' about bein' married.

  Silas : [angry]  Don't you lie to me! You was playin' like you already was! Who was it? Shub Anchors, or that skinny Rafe?

  Honey Bee : [defending her boyfriend]  I ain't gonna tell!

  Silas : [mad]  You'll tell, girl, when I get you home, and you get a whoopin' you never forget.

  Honey Bee : [upset]  I have half a mind to run off and get married.

  Silas : [sarcastic]  Half a mind is all you got!
