• Cap'n Andy Hawks : You got that, Rubber Face?

  Rubber Face : Yep! I got a cowbell.

  Cap'n Andy Hawks : It t'ain't a cowbell. It says here a cow's moos offstage. Have you got a moo effect?

  Rubber Face : Oh, I can do that myself. Mooooooo!

• Rubber Face : [the actors are performing the play "The Parson's Bride" on the show boat. Rubber Face, the prop and sound effects man, mistakenly moos like a cow instead of doing a doorbell sound effect]  Moo!

  Magnolia : [in character as Miss Lucy]  Ah, there's the bell. It must be Parson Brown at last!

  Gaylord Ravenal : [enters in character as Parson Brown]  Good evening, Miss Lucy! I was absorbed in meditation and did not realize night had fallen.

  Magnolia : The days are growing shorter, Hamilton, but they're long when one is waiting!

  Gaylord Ravenal : As I came across the field I saw the cattle driven home by your faithful dog.

  Rubber Face : [growing ever louder]  Mooo! MOOOO!

  [Ravenal rolls his eyes in exasperation] 

  Cap'n Andy Hawks : [to Rubber face]  Shut up!
