    Pemberton: You find me an honest-to-God panther to hunt, and I'll give you a $20 gold piece.

    Galloway: If there's a panther still around here it's likely touched by the devil. They end up hunting you.

    Pemberton: Well, I want one.

  • Serena: I think you've taken none months to do about six months' work. But a few changes should greatly increase profitability.
