- Cliff Saul: You'd rather spend your time wandering around the woods like a wild Indian. Minnehaha.
- Libby Saul: I like the woods. They're quiet... peaceful.
- Cliff Saul: They are, are they? Not to me, they ain't. They're just so much stove wood.
- Cliff Saul: [to Libby as she cooks breakfast] I'll take some of those eggs... and a scrap of that meat if you haven't fed it all to your dog.
- Cliff Saul: [Upon seeing the dog eating the scraps of meat] I've seen good soup made out of less than that.
