Captain Eli
- Captain Eli: What could you do on a steamboat?
- Doctor John Pearly: Well, I'm just gonna sit up in the pilot's house and toot the whistle and listen to that old river sing.
- Captain Eli: Say, you better stay away from Salt Creek. They lynched one of them there hootchy-kootchy shows there last week.
- Doctor John Pearly: Where was you sittin'? On the front row?
- Captain Eli: I sure was!
- Doctor John Pearly: You still wanna bet the Pride of Paducah against the Claremore Queen?
- Captain Eli: As I recall, that was the terms of the bet, unless you're crawfishing.
- Captain Eli: Give 'er everything you've got! Spread 'er wide open and put two more men on the safety valve!
