- Huckleberry Finn: Tom, what's 'manners'?
- Tom Sawyer: Manners is something that, eh, parents thought up to keep us from havin' fun.
- Tom Sawyer: Well, highwaymen are the best type of robbers, so I guess we'll be highwaymen. We'll stop stages, kill the people and take the money.
- Ben Rogers: Do we have to kill the people?
- Tom Sawyer: Didn't I tell you? That's the way it's in the book. 'Course we do! 'Cept the ones we want for ransom.
- Huckleberry Finn: Ransom? What's that?
- Tom Sawyer: Well, I don't know, exactly, but that's what all the books says, so we gotta do it. We'll take some, and hold 'em for ransom. I reckon it means, tie 'em up and wait till their dead.
- Sam Davis: Sounds like a lot of bother to me, means they'd have to be guarded and fed and stuff. Why can't we take a club and ransom them straight off?
- Tom Sawyer: Because it's not in the books, that's why!
- Huckleberry Finn: Tom, what about the women, do we kill them too?
- Tom Sawyer: 'Course not! We take them captive. The women are always beautiful and they fall in love with us and never wanna leave.
- Huckleberry Finn: Ugh, I don't like that part, Tom.
- Tom Sawyer: Oh, it's not that bad, we keep 'em around to cook and clean for us.
- Huckleberry Finn: Oh, I reckon we can make some use of them, then.
- Widow Douglas: You don't wanna go to Hell, do you?
- Huckleberry Finn: [shrugs] I reckon I wouldn't mind.
- Miss Watson: Why... that's wicked! Wicked!
- Huckleberry Finn: Well, all I meant was, a change wouldn't be so bad.
- Widow Douglas: Oh my dear boy, nobody wants to go to Hell, it's a punishment for being bad on Earth. We must all live as best we can, so we can go to heaven.
- Huckleberry Finn: Is Tom Sawyer gonna go to heaven?
- Miss Watson: Him? Definitely not.
- Huckleberry Finn: Well, that's all right then, I know where I'm headed.
