- Huckleberry Finn: [narrating] I dunno what Tom was thanking me for, after all that nutty business he'd been tossin' around, I wasn't hardly sure who I was supposed to be.
- Tom Sawyer: We'll scout around the hut tomorrow, make sure he's in there. Then we'll make us a plan for a real rescue.
- Huckleberry Finn: But Tom, what are you talking about? The thing we gotta do is let him outta there as fast as we can.
- Tom Sawyer: No, a real rescue takes time and careful figurin' and making some smart plans.
- Huckleberry Finn: But...
- Tom Sawyer: You gotta trust me. I've read lots about excapes and rescues. And we're gonna make this one a real dinger, trust me.
- Tom Sawyer: Look, here's a dime. Buy yourself some thread, tie up your whool. That'll keep them witches away.
- Nat: Why, thank ya, kind gentleman! Now I can tie up more knots in my hair than any black man in the whole county!
- [chuckles as he walks away]
- Nat: That'll be sure enough protections against witches.
- Huckleberry Finn: But why do we gotta dig him out? There's a lot easier ways that that, you know.
- Tom Sawyer: 'Course there is, but Jim's a friend of ours. And we're not gonna arrange some cheap two-bit kind of rescue for him. We gotta do things right.
