  Red Ryder : Well, wait a minute, Libby. You're too young to talk about retiring. Now you take Buckskin there...

  The Duchess (Red's Aunt) : Well, who would want him?

  Buckskin Blodgett : [reaching for his hat while sprawled on the ground]  Well, come here - come here...

  The Duchess (Red's Aunt) : Buckskin, pick it up!

  Buckskin Blodgett : Well, what do you think I've been trying to do for the last hour and a half.
