- Mrs. Harper: My Joe's run away from home, and he didn't even take any food.
- [starts to sob]
- Aunt Polly: Oh, Tom took enough for the both of them. They won't starve, believe me.
- Huckleberry Finn: We're free, fellers.
- Tom Sawyer: Well, this calls for a celebration!
- Huckleberry Finn: Oh, my stomach calls for a little food.
- Tom Sawyer: We'll make it a celebration feast!
- Joe Harper: I'm for that!
- Tom Sawyer: Let's go!
- Huckleberry Finn: [the boys realize their mothers think they've drowned] I reckon nobody'll even care about me.
- Tom Sawyer: Why sure they will, Huck, you got lotsa friends.
- Joe Harper: Absolutely, you got heaps of 'em.
- Huckleberry Finn: Two, anyway.
