Ma Tatum : You ain't never?
Captain Robert Salbo : Unh-uhnmm!
[meaning "No"]
Ma Tatum : Aw shucks, it ain't nothing but possum tails, owl gizzards, and grits fried in bear grease. And then that there gravy, that's just goat's milk with vulture eggs and mashed catfish eyes.
Pappy Tatum : The catfish eyes brings out the flavor of the possum tails.
