In the big trapper scene, after the charming trappers have sung their lovable, descriptive 'trapper song', the miners and trappers begin to argue about relative minors. At one point, an enraged Frenchy exclaims "The relative minor is three half tones DOWN from the major, not up!"

Noon, who is on the other side of the argument, agrees with him without meaning to, "No, it's three DOWN."

Frenchy mucked up his line there, because the trappers were supposed to be wrong, but in this case were right and were arguing their own point.
