From the movie 'Sling Blade':
There's these two fellas.
They're standing on a bridge
and going to the bathroom.
One fella says that the water's cold.
Other fella said the water's deep.
I believe one fella
come from Arkansas.
Get it?
Answer:
I'll be dog.
I could not find an explanation for this expression anywhere.
Anybody could help me? I would appreciate it.

I'll be darn
It mean: "I'll be dammed", or "dang" or "geez"
This is to express surprise, something like "wow, really?"
Hope this helps.

: Yes, it's a contraction of doggone = damned, isn't it? Back in the days when you couldn't say "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" in the cinema
