Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Luke Duke : [driving General Lee]  Now, Daisy, you've been working on asking for that raise since the second week you're at the Boars Nest.

  Daisy Duke : I know, but...

  Bo Duke : Daisy, listen. Now you gotta call in the dogs to see if they're wet or you're not gonna find out if it's raining outside or not.

  Daisy Duke : Bo...

  [merry laughter] 

  Luke Duke : Where'd you hear that?

  Bo Duke : That's what I said.

  Luke Duke : Daisy, if you're not gonna ask Boss, I'll ask him for ya.

  Daisy Duke : Well, I appreciate that, Luke, it's just that...

  Luke Duke : No ifs, ands, or buts. He's been paying you so little for so long, he don't even notice that he don't even feel guilty about it.

  The Balladeer : [voice-over]  Well, one thing about Luke, he didn't beat about the bush when it come to asking old Boss to raise Daisy's salary.

  [at Boars Nest] 

  The Balladeer : And this is what happens when you shake Boss' money tree...

  Luke Duke : Now, Boss, you're gonna have to do better than that

  Boss Hogg : Oh?

  Luke Duke : Or else...

  Daisy Duke : Luke...!

  Boss Hogg : Or else what?

  Luke Duke : Or else... she quits. That's what!

  Boss Hogg : [Daisy gapes]  Aw... ooh. She can't quit!

  Luke Duke : She can't?

  Boss Hogg : No. 'Cause she's already fired!

  [Daisy pulls in her breath sharply] 

  Boss Hogg : Off the premises!

  [storms off] 

  Daisy Duke : Luke!

  Luke Duke : [to door slammed in his face]  Boss... now, uh...

  Daisy Duke : [angrily]  Do you realize what you just did?

  Luke Duke : Just, uh...

  The Balladeer : [voice-over]  Well, now, when you sell pigs to buy pig-feed, you ain't apt to be in the pig business for very long.

• The Balladeer : [voice-over, as Molly drives getaway car]  When it comes to fancy driving, Cale Yarborough could take a few tips from the lady behind that wheel.

• The Balladeer : [Molly knocked out Officer Daisy]  I never figured Daisy to be suckered by a right cross. But like mama used to say, "Church ain't over until the fat lady sings."
