Cap'n Andy Hawks : You got that, Rubber Face?
Rubber Face : Yep! I got a cowbell.
Cap'n Andy Hawks : It t'ain't a cowbell. It says here a cow's moos offstage. Have you got a moo effect?
Rubber Face : Oh, I can do that myself. Mooooooo!

Rubber Face : [the actors are performing the play "The Parson's Bride" on the show boat. Rubber Face, the prop and sound effects man, mistakenly moos like a cow instead of doing a doorbell sound effect] Moo!
Magnolia : [in character as Miss Lucy] Ah, there's the bell. It must be Parson Brown at last!
Gaylord Ravenal : [enters in character as Parson Brown] Good evening, Miss Lucy! I was absorbed in meditation and did not realize night had fallen.
Magnolia : The days are growing shorter, Hamilton, but they're long when one is waiting!
Gaylord Ravenal : As I came across the field I saw the cattle driven home by your faithful dog.
Rubber Face : [growing ever louder] Mooo! MOOOO!
[Ravenal rolls his eyes in exasperation]
Cap'n Andy Hawks : [to Rubber face] Shut up!
