Larry Brantley: Wishbone

Quotes 

• Ellen Talbot : So what did you..."sort of" find?

  Wishbone : Oh, nothing, just a crazy man digging up a grave!

  Joe Talbot : Well, you know the No-Name grave?

  Ellen Talbot : Oh, sure, the mystery grave.

  Joe Talbot : Well, today, Sam and David and I went to check it out.

  Ellen Talbot : Ooh, so did you find anything?

  Joe Talbot : ...Actually, Mom, there was a guy digging it up. He caught us spying on him and he chased us away.

  Ellen Talbot : [laughing]  What?

  Joe Talbot : This crazy guy was digging up the grave. We could hear his shovel scraping across the coffin.

  Ellen Talbot : Wait, you're just making this up, you're just trying to scare me, right?

  Joe Talbot : No, Mom, it's true, I know it sounds strange but it's true. He caught us spying on him because of Wishbone and he chased us away.

• Joe Talbot : [sees Wishbone about asleep]  I don't think Wishbone's too worried.

  Wishbone : Who's worried? Tom Sawyer had only one worry. After the trial of Muff Potter, Tom worried that Crazy Joe would come back for him.

• Huck Finn : [about finding buried treasure]  What do your books say?

  Wishbone : Well, sometimes it's buried on islands, but mostly it's buried under the floorboards in haunted houses.

  Huck Finn : Who hides it?

  Wishbone : Robbers! Who do you think, schoolteachers?

• Wishbone : [as Tom Sawyer]  Now listen here, Huck Finn, being rich ain't gonna stop me from turning robber.
