Zeb Bascomb:
[after finding Emmy alone outside of camp]
Why, Emmy.
Emmy:
Go away, Zeke. Don't you dare touch me.
Zeb Bascomb:
How do you know it's Zeke, honey? Why, you ain't even looked.
Emmy:
I don't want to look. I don't want to ever see you. I just want to die.
Zeb Bascomb:
That ain't no nice way to talk after all the trouble I had finding you. What made you skip out?
[He leans down to touch her]
Emmy:
[Emmy turns with a shotgun]
I'll shoot!
Zeb Bascomb:
Well, I guess, ain't no use in asking for mercy once a woman's got her mind made up. I did think you had more feeling for me though.
Emmy:
You said I was stealing and it ain't true.
Zeb Bascomb:
Well, I know. I was wrong, I'm sorry.
Emmy:
You were going to give me a belt in the snoot.
Zeb Bascomb:
Well, I thought you knew that I was just testin' ya.
Emmy:
What's testin'?
Zeb Bascomb:
Seein' if you love me.
Emmy:
Were you testin' when you pushed me and said you wanted me to catch the measles?
Zeb Bascomb:
That is my number one test. Measles couldn't even light on you, you're too wiggly.
Emmy:
You care for anybody special, Zeke?
Zeb Bascomb:
What difference does it make? I ain't got long to live anyway.
Emmy:
Maybe I won't shoot ya.
Zeb Bascomb:
Well, what you got to do, you got to do.
Emmy:
I don't know how to work this very good anyway.
[Hands him the shotgun]
Zeb Bascomb:
You sure could have fooled me, alright.
Emmy:
Would you have took the ring if grandma had give it to ya?
Zeb Bascomb:
Why should I?
Emmy:
She likes you. Why do you play cruel all the time?
Zeb Bascomb:
Oh, why do you poison gophers?
Emmy:
Will you marry her?
Zeb Bascomb:
Now I know you're sick.
Emmy:
Just sort of look after her. I may not always be around.
Zeb Bascomb:
Yes, yes, you... You are gettin' mighty old. Mighty old. I kind of thought though that you was waiting for me.
Emmy:
You wouldn't want a wart.
Zeb Bascomb:
Didn't you know that I meant just the opposite?
Emmy:
What's the opposite to a wart?
Zeb Bascomb:
The op... It's a dimple, a pretty little dimple.
Emmy:
A dimple?
Zeb Bascomb:
Mm-hmm.
Emmy:
You mean I'm a dimple?
Zeb Bascomb:
That's right.
Emmy:
I like that.
Zeb Bascomb:
Sure.
