"There ain't nothing wrong with them dice." "Go on, let him see the dice, Hot Shot." "Well, I ain't saying nothing, but let me see them dice." "Come on, why don't you let him see them?" "That ain't nothing." "There they is." "There ain't nothing wrong with them dice." "There ain't nothing wrong with the dice, big boy." "I don't see nothing wrong." "Let me see that pair of dice you just playing with." "Oh, you're starting that bellyaching, huh?" "Starting that racket." "Come on, let him see the dice, if you got any more in your pocket." "Let me see that pair of dice you got in your pocket." "Say, you better keep quiet." "You big country hick." "Say, don't call him no country hick." "He ain't no country hick." "You'll be getting my back up in a minute." "Why don't you stop all this?" "Going around here squawking about losing your dough like a big 10-year-old." "Oh, my goodness." "Say, don't take it so hard, big boy." "There's lots more cotton in the field." "Let me alone." "I'm asking you once more." "Let me see them dice you got in your pocket." "Now, I'm getting pretty tired of you trying to bullyrag me." "Now you get your hide out of here before I throws it out." "Go on out, big boy." "I'll be out in a minute." "Go on." "Now, you clear out of here before I let you have some of this." "Give 'em room, give 'em room." "Come on, get a move on." "Zeke." "There's the door."
