- Milburn Drysdale: With Elly in the movies, the Clampetts aren't likely to go back to the hills. And with her beauty, she might become a big star. And if she becomes a big star, she'll make a lot of money. And if she makes a lot of money, she'll put it in *my* bank.
- Jane Hathaway: Oh chief, is that all you're thinking of?
- Milburn Drysdale: Of course not, I'm thinking of Elly. Now she might meet some young men, have dates, romance, get married. She might marry a big star. And if she does, he'll put his money in *my* bank.
- Milburn Drysdale: [to Dash Riprock, sternly] Now you try any of these shenanigans with Miss Clampett and your next picture will be shot at the police station.
- Jed Clampett: [Jed gives parting advice to Elly before she goes to the movie studio] You just be your own sweet, purty self, and do a honest day's work movie-starrin'.
- Elly May Clampett: Well, Jethro says I gotta be an extry 'fore I can be a star.
- Jed Clampett: All right, after you're extry for a while, you ask 'em, real polite, 'Can you be a star?'
- Elly May Clampett: Yes sir, Pa.
