Ridin' on a Rainbow (1941)

Ferris Taylor: Captain 'Lijah Bartlett

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Captain Lige Bartlett : Mark my words, Mariah, we'll discover the thriving metropolis of Riverton just around the bend.

  Mariah Bartlett : Right where it's always been - unless somebody moved it.

• Captain Lige Bartlett : Great little town, Riverton. Filled with people hungering for amusement; thirsty for refinement. Mariah, every cowboy in the county will be on board tonight.

  Mariah Bartlett : And pay good money to see our show? Cowboys like beef, not ham.

• [Gene and Frog negotiate their salary as riverboat entertainers] 

  Gene Autry : If you're talkin' about money, I think we can agree on that.

  Frog : Yeah! Personally, I'd work for peanuts - just room and board.

  [Captain Bartlett eyes the portly Frog dubiously] 

  Captain Lige Bartlett : From the looks of you, that wouldn't be peanuts.

• [last lines] 

  Patsy Evans : I'll be leaving town right after the show. I'm sure going to miss you. You've been awfully good to me.

  Mariah Bartlett : It's going to be fine for you, Patsy. Living out on Gene's ranch, you'll have a good time and you'll be able to go to school.

  Captain Lige Bartlett : Every time we play Riverton, we'll stay at the ranch

  Patsy Evans : Will you bring Sally?

  [eyeing Gene singing romantically to Sally] 

  Captain Lige Bartlett : From the looks of things, Sally will be bringing us.
