After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark
Hunter Mr. Burns Smithers?
Smithers Yes, Mr. Burns?
Hunter Mr. Burns Smithers, it's been three hours and I haven't killed any wildlife. I'll sue this forest!
Smithers - Sad Sorry, sir.
Hunter Mr. Burns - Annoyed Pah! Stow your "sorry". I can't shoot at it.
Smithers *holds up deer call* Shall I try the deer call again?
Hunter Mr. Burns But this time give it some feeling. I want to hear Jimmy Dorsey or Glenn Miller at the height of their powers!

Smithers - Nervous That gun, sir, has a will of its own. Remember how it misfired when the butler sneezed?
Hunter Mr. Burns - Annoyed He deserved it! Besides, I've got it well under control. I was in the artillery in the world war. Don't ask which side. *gun fires*
Smithers - Surprised Ahh!
Hunter Mr. Burns - Annoyed Fiddlesticks! That was my last round! Perhaps it is time to upgrade from this randomly discharging bullet blaster. Come along.

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Mr. Burns' exclamation mark
Herman What you see is what we have.
Hunter Mr. Burns - Annoyed Oh, come now. You must have a secret store of weapons stashed behind some crates in their back room!
Herman I used to have one in the shed out back. But due to an unfortunate issue with some Bulgarian explosives and a lightning storm...
Herman - Sly ...let's just say that it suddenly relocated all the way to Shelbyville.
Hunter Mr. Burns Yes, yes...well then, let's have a look at your arsenal and see if I can find something that will cause the animals to quake in fear.

Smithers - Nervous It's just right! Yes, indeed.
Herman No, pal, it's a BB gun.
Smithers - Nervous And "BB" for "Burns Blaster"! See, sir, it's even named after you!
Hunter Mr. Burns - Happy *wipes away a tear* I always wanted a machine of death to have my name.
Smithers Mr. Burns, let me finish this transaction. Why don't you go wait in the car?
Hunter Mr. Burns - Happy Yes, and dream of the first lucky animal to be laid out by my shiny new gun.
Herman You sure this is the one he wanted to have?
Smithers No. It's the one I want him to have. Out in the woods today he nearly killed me six times. That's twice the normal rate.
Smithers Also, the recoil from a normal gun sends Mr. Burns sailing like a seagull on a mighty ocean breeze.
Herman Well, this baby's gotta kick so gentle it'll lull you to sleep.
Smithers Really?
Herman Go ahead. Try her out.
Smithers *pit-ting! pit-tang! pit-tong!*
Smithers - Excited I feel like a buckaroo.
Herman - Angry Not in my store, pal.

The Rich Texan - Annoyed Speaking of names, what in the name of Sam Houston are you doin' poaching on my property?!
Hunter Mr. Burns - Annoyed The only poaching I do is of eggs and that is handled by a service in the south of France. This is my property!
