• Vincent Smith : Well, we had this old dog you see, and it used to bother Granny barking through her naps and all that, so one day, she asked me to shush it for her. Ha! I shushed it all right.

  Ida Smith : Yeah, he sure did. He smoked that old dog just like a hog.

  Sheriff Bruce Smith : That night Vincent served it for dinner, and Granny liked it so much, she nearly ate the whole pooch herself. Oh, she was so grateful she taught Vincent all her smoking secrets.

  Terry : [in disgust]  She knew she was eating a dog?

  Vincent Smith : Well, Granny never put any distinctions on any of God's creatures. She always used to say...

  Vincent Smith , Ida Smith : ...Meat's meat and man's gotta eat!

  Sheriff Bruce Smith : I was brought up here, you know. Now, I'm kind of glad I ran away from home when I was 11. I guess there's gonna be some kind of investigation.

  Terry : Why don't you just burn the place?

  Sheriff Bruce Smith : Burn it? You mean arson?

  Terry : I don't know. That's what I'd do. It's an evil motel.
