Smitty: So many times every day you stop and give thanks, but mostly I don't catch on what you're thanking the Lord for. I mean, there's nothing special.
Parson: I give thanks for the time and for the place.

Tennesseean: It do.

Jim Bowie: Travis says! I wouldn't take Travis' word that night's dark and day's light.
