Spanky: [all four boys having a delightful feast of the food Buckwheat and Porky brought out of the store] Home was never like this.Aren't you glad we ran away?
Alfalfa: And how.I betcha' our mothers are plenty sorry now.
Hiram Jenks: [while purposely eavesdropping] Oh so that's what they're up to eh?
Mrs. Jenks: Better get the car pa,and take em' right home.
Hiram Jenks: No.Do that and they'll run away again.It's my duty to teach them a darn good lesson first.C'mon ma.

Mrs. Jenks: Hey Hiram come here.
Hiram Jenks: What is it ma?
Mrs. Jenks: Here come the other two,and they've got our dog.I wonder what they're up to now.
Hiram Jenks: I dunno,but as constable of Jenksville,it is my duty to investigate.Now you just leave everything to me.
