Uncle Edgar Kennedy: [gestures to gouted foot] I got a picnic of my own right here.
[taps it with his cane]
Mrs. Laurel: Now listen, Uncle Edgar, you’re going to come with us. Here’s your hat and coat. You get ’em on!
Oliver: Hold that while I get a chair. [Takes tray from Stan] No, you get the chair.[Stan says nothing] And don’t talk back!
Oliver: [to Stan] Why don’t you do something to help me?
Mrs. Laurel: Oh, boys! Boys, boys, boys, boys, boys, now stop this.
Oliver: Well it was his fault.
Mrs. Laurel: [breaking up a fight between Stan and Ollie] Boys, boys, now remember, this is the Sabbath. A day of peace. Now, now, now, don’t let this spoil our day. Accidents will happen. Forgive and forget.
