Quotes
-
May Lily : Colonel, your army is retreatin' right now!
-
Miss Lloyd Sherman : And I only had one shot left. And I aimed my gun, and bang! I killed those three Indians.
May Lily : Why, Miss Lloyd, did you really do that?
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Of course not, that's just a story. And you don't have to call me Miss Lloyd. You can call me Colonel.
May Lily : Is you a colonel too?
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Yes, I am, a real colonel!
May Lily : You can't be no colonel.
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Why not?
May Lily : 'Cause you ain't got no whiskers.
Miss Lloyd Sherman : I don't need to have whiskers. I've got temper. That's all you need to be a colonel.
May Lily : I guess that's right, 'cause all the colonels I ever seen had tempers. I hope you're not a colonel like him over there. If you was, I'd be afeared to play with you!
-
May Lily : Why, Miss Lloyd, them's the colonel's flowers!
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Well, we're not afraid of the colonel.
May Lily : Who ain't afraid? Maybe you ain't, but I is.
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Now listen, May Lily. You too, Henry Clay. I'm the colonel and you're my men, and in the army you have to obey orders. Forward march!
May Lily : I don't think I'm gonna like bein' the army.
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Aw!
-
May Lily : If the old colonel ever finds out where we got these sheets, he'll baptize us good.
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Didn't I tell you that my men don't have to be afraid of anything? Now, Henry Clay, are you ready? Have you got the right thoughts?
Henry Clay : Uh-huh.
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Do you believe it'll wash your sins away?
Henry Clay : Uh-huh.
Miss Lloyd Sherman : All right, come one. One, two, three.
[Lloyd and May Lily dunk Henry Clay in the water]
May Lily : Hallelujah!
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Are you saved?
[Henry Clay shakes his head]
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Well, we'll have to do it again. One, two, three.
[Lloyd and May Lily dunk Henry Clay in the water again]
May Lily : Hallelujah!
Miss Lloyd Sherman : Are you saved?
Henry Clay : Uh-huh.
