Idabelle
- Idabelle: I sure hope there's some colored folks on that boat. I is gettin' mighty tired pretending Eskimos are from Virginia.
- Cherry Malotte: Was anybody hurt?
- Idabelle: Whoever heard tell 'em of a shootin' when nobody was hurt? They don't go pointin' a gun at somebody unless they figures to hit 'em, does they?
- Idabelle: Colored boy! Where'd y'all come from?
- Glennister: [in blackface] How's y'all sweet thing. I figured it was about time for us to get acquainted!
- Idabelle: Is that so? Well, if y'alls think I'm the common kind that messes around with anything that comes along. I says if you thinks I'm that kind of a person, I'll pour y'all a cup of coffee.
- [Glennister takes off his hat]
- Idabelle: Here, now, wait a minute! Y'all ain't no colored boy! You's washable. Why, it's Mr. Glennister! Watch you doin' runnin' 'round here raisin' up a lady's hopes like that for? Wait'll Miss Cherry sees you!
- Glennister: Hold on a minute, Idabelle. Let's get rid of this Alabama tan first and you better wash this shirt.
- Idabelle: But, Mr. Glennister, you's more handsome now than yous ever been before.
- Glennister: And Miss Cherry might feel the same way and then I'd have to spend the rest of my life in a smokehouse. Now, go on and get me some soap and water.
- Cherry Malotte: Darling, get a bottle of brandy and a dozen hard boiled eggs.
- Idabelle: Better get a dozen bottles of brandy and one egg, Miss Cherry. Eggs is scarcer than watermelons around here.
- Idabelle: Miss Cherry, you shore looks like the kind of medicine good for what ails a man!
- Cherry Malotte: All we need then is the man, eh?
- Idabelle: If you's referring to me, Miss Cherry, they shore is an absence of good, solid color in this here country!
- Cherry Malotte: No chance of choosin', Idabelle?
- Idabelle: No. No pickin' neither!
- Cherry Malotte: Idabelle where are you?
- Idabelle: Here I is, Miss Cherry. Here I is!
- Cherry Malotte: What are you doing with that dress?
- Idabelle: Oh, I just smoothin' it out a bit. I heard that loudmouth baboon yellin' that the boat was in. I figured y'all wanted to meet him in style.
