[Dave and Tex ride up to Panhandle who is making smoke signals and chanting incoherently]

Texas Ranger Dave Wyatt:
Well, what are you trying to do, Panhandle?

Texas Ranger Panhandle Perkins:
Don't you get it, Dave?

Texas Ranger Tex Haines:
Sorry.

Texas Ranger Panhandle Perkins:
You understand, don't you, Tex?

Texas Ranger Tex Haines:
Sure! You're givin' an imitation of a razorback hog stuck in a barbed-wire fence.

Texas Ranger Panhandle Perkins:
No, that ain't it at all! We're near Indian country, ain't we? Well, I'm practicin' talkin' Indian, throwin' up smoke signals, practicin' sign language - I'm getting' prepared!

Texas Ranger Tex Haines:
Ah, we were only kiddin', Panhandle. Understood every word you said, didn't we, Dave?

Texas Ranger Dave Wyatt:
Sure did, and you're dead right - we've got to be prepared. In fact, we'll hold a counsel of war right now.
