Wishbone : Go on, Mushy, you can have the first taste. Well?
Mushy : It's real good, only it tastes terrible.
Jim Quince : Here, let me try that.
[after a swig, he spits it out]
Jim Quince : Darn stuff, break a man from the habit of drinking.
Wishbone : Well, you two just ain't got the taste for champagne. That ain't champagne. That's bottle fire.
[And he throws it towards the stream, Matt Holden's warning comes too late as there is an almighty, earthmoving, explosion]
Wishbone : STAMPEDE!

Jim Quince : Tell me something. Just what is this champagne.
Wishbone : Your ignorance astonishes me, Quince.
Jim Quince : Well, all right. But what's champagne?
Wishbone : Well, well, it's wine, that's what it is.
Jim Quince : WINE? Then why don't they call it wine?
Wishbone : Well, because it's champagne. Now what is it that YOU want?
Mushy : I just wanted to ask you, what's champagne?
