Quotes 

• Grandpa : If it was good enough for Abe Lincoln, it's good enough for him.

  Little John : Did you really cure Abraham Lincoln, Grandpa?

  Grandpa : Yep. The president was deathly sick when he come to review us. Mr. President, I says, beggin' your pardon, sir. I got somethin' here that'll cure that cold of yours. He took it, and today he's as healthy as an ox. He'll outlive us all, old Abe will!

  John Monroe : If he stops going to those opening nights!

• Grandpa : I gotta get you in good shape in case them Johnny Rebs get a notion to raid us tonight. I need you to help me stand 'em off. Your father won't be no good with a gun, I can tell you.

  Little John : He's pretty good with a strap, though.

  Grandpa : We ain't fightin' this war with no straps. It's lucky I'm prepared.

  Little John : Wow! Have you ever used it?

  Grandpa : Still warm from Gettysburg.

  Little John : Boy, those Johnny Rebs will sure be in for a surprise if they attack us!
