    • [Hank, Jacob, and Lou walk around in the woods looking for the fox]

      Jacob Mitchell: Wish we had something to drink.

      Lou Chambers: [Lou pulls a beer can out of his jacket] Always be prepared.

      Hank Mitchell: Oh, that's a good idea. Let's all start drinking now.

    • [Lou fakes a snowball throw at Hank]

      Lou Chambers: Now, you see... that's what you might call an insinuating throw. Remember? You said that to me last time I saw you. You could've just said 'hint'. But no. You had to put on airs, show us all them fancy words you know.

      Hank Mitchell: What, do you sit around, you think of this stuff? When was that, two months ago?

      Lou Chambers: [Lou throws the snowball out in the snow-covered field] Kiss my ass.

      [as the plane is revealed]

    • [after Hank, Jacob, and Lou find the crashed airplane]

      Jacob Mitchell: Hey, you know what? It's probably one of those drunk doctors, always crashing their plane, you know.

      Lou Chambers: Yep.
