A scene from Tall Tale 1995
Pecos Bill

This ain't nothin' compared to the summer of '88. It was so hot, all the chickens was layin' fried eggs and babies was cryin' sawdust. Things got so bad, the whole state of Texas lit on fire. So I hightailed it up to Kansas...

Paul Bunyan

Does this story have a point? Or does it just go on and on and on like this stinkin' desert?

Pecos Bill

Yeah, this story has a point. I blew out the dang fire! You know, I'm gettin' sick and tired of you complaining and whining all the time!

Paul Bunyan

I'm lost in a giant barbeque pit and I don't know what's going to kill me first: the heat, the thirst, or having' to listen to your inceseant yammerin!

John Henry

[Kicking Paul with sand]

You shut up, shut up, shut up, you over-grown tub of lard!

Paul Bunyan

You stay out of this you-you contest loser! What did you call me?!

John Henry

[Paul and Henry start to fight]

You're nothing but a big fat quitter! QUITTER, QUITTER, QUITTER!
