Everett:
Well, it didn't look like a one-horse town, but try finding a decent hair jelly.

Delmar:
Gopher, Everett?

Everett:
And no transmission belt for two weeks, either.

Pete:
They dam that river on the 21st. Today's the 17th.

Everett:
Don't I know it.

Pete:
We got but four days to get to that treasure. After that, it'll be at the bottom of a lake. We ain't gonna make it walkin'.

Everett:
That's right.

Delmar:
Gopher, Everett?

Everett:
But the old tactician's got a plan. For the transportation that is. I don't know how I'm gonna keep my coiffure in order.

Pete:
How's this a plan? How we gonna get a car?

Everett:

Everett:

Delmar:
Whoo! You got some light fingers, Everett. Gopher?

Pete:
You miserable little snake! You stole from my kin!

Everett:
Who was fixin' to betray us.

Pete:
You didn't know that at the time!

Everett:
So I borrowed it until I did know.

Pete:
That don't make no sense!

Everett:
Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart. [hears a congregation singing nearby] Now, what the hell's that singing?

Delmar:
Appears to be some kind of a... congregation. Care for some gopher?

Everett:
No, thank you, Delmar. A third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without beddin' her back down.

Delmar:
Oh, you can have the whole thing. Me and Pete already had one. We ran across a whole gopher village.
