- Sheriff Andy Taylor: You *would* show up today, Otis! About one loaded goat at a time's all we can handle!
- Mr. Burton: Well, to prevent any chain reaction, we could stop our blasting.
- Mayor Roy Stoner: But that would delay the underpass and I promised my brother it would be finished by...
- [realizes he's given himself away]
- Mayor Roy Stoner: All right, all right. Stop the blasting.
- Sheriff Andy Taylor: Any phone calls?
- Barney Fife: No, just ol' Mrs. Vickers. Every time a blast goes off, she calls askin' if it's Yankee cannons comin' down the road.
- Sheriff Andy Taylor: [answering a phone call] Yes, Mrs. Vickers... No, ma'am. That's just blastin' on the underpass... Yes, ma'am, we're still holdin' onto Richmond.
- Otis Campbell: [as he drags the goat from his cell] This is my cell and I don't share my cell with anybody!
- Otis Campbell: Uncle Nat? What are you doin' here?
- [takes a closer look]
- Otis Campbell: Well, you're not Uncle Nat! You're a goat!
- Cy Hudgins: Eatin' dynamite. Now ain't that the way it always is? First time he comes into town, he figures he's got to do everything!
