- [Delia Snedeker and John Gamble can be seen on the porch of Eli Snedeker's residence]
- Delia Snedeker: Where are you going tonight, Johnny
- John Gamble: I've got plans.
- Delia Snedeker: So do I.
- John Gamble: Hmm, you're certainly giving the mosquitoes a break.
- [John Gamble has prevented Eli Snedeker from beating one of his workers for an act of insubordination]
- Eli Snedeker: It'll cost me time and money to have that repaired.
- [Snedeker turns to face Gamble]
- Eli Snedeker: You told him to be sure and oil it! You give orders around here, you expect to be obeyed!
- John Gamble: You'd better get out of here before the boys forget it you're the boss.
- Eli Snedeker: [takes hold of Gamble] It wasn't my fault, he fell...
- John Gamble: Get out!
- [Gamble walks off as Eli watches]
- [at a tavern, John Gamble has just disarmed Eli Snedeker after the latter tried to stab the former]
- John Gamble: Now, Mr. Snedeker, the next time you pull a knife, don't hold it, use it. Now get out!
- [Snedeker glares at Gamble for a few seconds before he starts to leave. As he approaches the door, his knife suddenly hits the wall next to it]
- John Gamble: Snedeker, you forgot something.
- [as a few of the patrons laugh at him, Snedeker takes the knife before leaving]
