• Squirrel : You know what I just realized?

  John Hemphill : What?

  Squirrel : [About Jean, Loretta and Vivian]  Now there's 3 of them and only 2 of us.

  John Hemphill : Yeah, how about that?

  Squirrel : Things in Dancer will definitely be looking up.

  John Hemphill : Definitely.

• Josie Hemphill : You could go to school over there at Sul Ross. Still live here. You could talk to daddy about that.

  John Hemphill : We talked about college a few years ago. He told me, all a father owes his son is room and board for 18 years. And after that, he's on his own.

• Josie Hemphill : [At dinner: holding up a piece of meat on her fork]  This meat here... was it one of our cattle?

  John Hemphill : Sure! You remember Buster?

  Josie Hemphill : [Slightly horrified]  Buster? We're eatin' Buster?

  Mrs. Hemphill : Now Josie, at least eat your vegetables.

  Josie Hemphill : [Indignant]  I'm turnin' vegetarian, I swear. At least carrots don't have names!
