Gene Holland: Joe Favers
Quotes
-
[the Favers brothers confront Johnny and Toby]
Jake Favers : Just 'cause ol' Remus take your side don't mean we ain't gonna get Teenchy. You wait and see.
Joe Favers : We're gonna tell on you.
Jake Favers : Yeah, gonna tell Tempy, or maybe your grandma. Or maybe even your ma.
Johnny : [remembering the Tar Baby story of reverse psychology] Go ahead, I don't care. You can tell Aunt Tempy and you can tell Grandma. You can even tell my mama. But whatever you do, don't tell your ma.
Jake Favers : [suspiciously] Why not?
Johnny : Just don't you tell her, that's all. If you do, it'll be awful.
[Grinning, the Favers boys leave]
Toby : [to Johnny] Ain't that what Brer Rabbit did to Brer Fox?
Johnny : [whispering] Shhh! Being little and without much strength, we're supposed to use our heads instead of our foots.
