George Martin : [watching through binoculars] Gracie, my gun! A bird!
Gracie Martin : What?
George Martin : A bird! A bird!
Gracie Martin : O, my goodness. Here.
[hands him a live duck]
George Martin : Not a duck. My gun! How can you shoot with a duck?
Gracie Martin : Well, my father used to shoot ducks. But maybe that duck wasn't loaded, eh?
George Martin : The duck wasn't loaded but I'd like to bet that your father was.
Gracie Martin : Well, if he wasn't then why did the duck shoot my father because I always thought...
George Martin : Quiet! Quiet! Well, I missed him. He's gone and that was a stratospheric duck and very rare.
Gracie Martin : Well, I am just as glad that you missed him because I don't like rare ducks. I like my ducks well-done.
Gracie Martin : Now, take my uncle.
George Martin : *You* take your uncle.
Gracie Martin : They did.

Gracie Martin : My uncle is a hunter.
George Martin : I'd rather not hear about it.
Gracie Martin : My uncle always goes out duck hunting. Now, Monday he takes four dogs, and Tuesday he takes three dogs, and Wednesday...
George Martin : Gracie! Gracie, why does he take four dogs Monday and three dogs Tuesday?
Gracie Martin : Well, because the other dog won't follow him on Tuesday.
George Martin : Why?
Gracie Martin : Because he shot him on Monday.
George Martin : Nice work. He aims at little innocent birds and shoots dogs.
Gracie Martin : Yeah, all except one dog. His favorite dog. His name is Scram.
George Martin : Your uncle's name is Scram?
Gracie Martin : Oh stop, no, the *dog's* name is Scram. You see, that saves my uncle a lot of money calling him Scram.
George Martin : Because the dog's name is Scram that saves your uncle a lot of money?
Gracie Martin : For sure. You see, when he calls the dog to feed, he hollers "Scram, Scram" and the dog runs away.
