Just as Spanky starts to continue his shoe-shining hobby that he had just started, Simmons dropped a Poker card, on purpose, to cheat]  You dropped this card, mister.

    Spanky Leonard : The Royal Protection of Women and Children Regiment Club of the World and Mississippi River.

    Spanky Leonard : Who?

    [the Gang then quickly cover up, holding tree branches, to hide Louella, from Simmons] 

    Spanky Leonard : [Also during this scene, Spanky walks, holding a stick, with a bonnet tied to the top & a feminine cape, on its frame, that appears as if Louella is walking alone and drew Simmons' attention and deceiving him, until Spanky walked under a low tree branch, that pulled the back cape off and Simmons saw Spanky. Spanky then quickly fled]

    Spanky Leonard : Well, it's like you're second general and I'm first.

  • Buckwheat : Will you be my master?

    Spanky Leonard : I don't want to be your master. You wouldn't be any help to me. You're too small.

  • Marshall Valient : What you mean is, if your friends go to war, you gotta go with 'em or else you won't have any friends. Is that it?

    Spanky Leonard : Well, that's what it looks like to me.

    Marshall Valient : Say, you know, Spanky, I hate to admit it, but, I think you're right. Things shouldn't be that way and there's no sense in rushing into trouble, but, you're absolutely right.

    Spanky Leonard : If you have any more troubles, Mr. Marsh, you come to me. I'll help you out 'em.

  • Marshall Valient : [Sees Buckwheat hiding under the table]  By the way, Spanky, weren't you asking me if I could use another slave?

    Spanky Leonard : Yes 'em, Mr. Marsh.

    Marshall Valient : Well, who is he?

    Spanky Leonard : A friend of mine.

    Marshall Valient : Is he big and strong?

    Spanky Leonard : Not so big. But, pretty strong.

    Marshall Valient : Could he shoe a horse?

    Spanky Leonard : No. But he could shoe a pony.

    Marshall Valient : How long do you think it would take you to get him here?

    Buckwheat : [pops out from under the table]  Here I is!

    Marshall Valient : Well, that didn't take very long.

    Spanky Leonard : He's pretty fast!

  • Spanky Leonard : I sure wish I could go with ya. I could shine your shoes and help carry your gun.

    Marshall Valient : Now, you haven't forgotten what I told you, have you?

    Spanky Leonard : Help... take care of the plantation, protect the women and children, especially Miss Louella. You sure like her a lot, don't you?

    Marshall Valient : I sure do.

    Spanky Leonard : But, what else am I supposed to do? Oh, yes! Make Buckwheat take his bath.

    Marshall Valient : Is that all?

    Spanky Leonard : And take mine too.

  • Spanky Leonard : I'm not no Yankee! I'm a Southern gentleman!

    Spanky Leonard : Sure it's secret enough?

    Alfalfa : It's so secret, maybe I can't find it myself.

  • Spanky Leonard : The RPWCRCWMR surrenders Blanchard Hill.
