Well, we can't begrudge him taking Christmas Day off.

It's Christmas.

We gave them a boat for Christmas, among other things.

You betcha we have.

Merry Christmas to you.

We know how fond you are.

Well, we could always take it back.

Maybe they know something we don't, Granny.

We don't want to hurt his feelings.

Well, we can take them over later.

No wonder we couldn't find any water.

Who are we going to drop in on?

Well, we must have slept through a regular cloudburst.

We want to get a better look at Skipper's boat.

Granny, we don't want to mean mouth that sailor too much.

We got a mighty nice present for you too, Miss Drydale.

Well, guess, fellas, where do you reckon we ought to look first?

Well, up here we have deviled hawk eggs, pickled crow gizzards, possum sausages, candied catfish, and over here we have some larapin good little teethy owl burgers.

I refuse to go slumming on Christmas.

From Milford and me, we know how fond you are of outdoorsy things.
