Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : My name is Beauregard Decker, ma'am. I am 21 years old and I own my own ranch up in Timber Hill, Montana, where I got a fine herd of Hereford cattle, a dozen horses and the finest sheep and hogs and chickens in the country. Now I come down for the rodeo tomorrow with the idea in mind to find me a angel and you're it. Now I don't have a whole lot of time for sweet talkin' around the bush so I would be much obliged if you would just step outside with me into the fresh air.
Cherie : What'd you say?
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : My name if Beauregard Decker, ma'am. I am 21 years old and I own my own ranch up in Timber Hill, Montana, where I got a fine...

Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : O.K. Let's get out of here!
Cherie : I'm mighty grateful for what you did but we're not allowed to go out with the customers. But you can buy me a drink if you want to. I'm so dry I'm spittin' cotton.

Chérie : [singing] That old black magic has me - in its spell, That old black magic that you weave so well, Those icy fingers up and down my spine, The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine...

Chérie : [singing] Aflame with such a burning desire, That only your kiss - kiss - kiss - can put out the fire...

Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Cherry.
Chérie : Chérie! It's French. It means "dear one."
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Well, my name's kinda French, Beauregard. It means somethin' too.
Chérie : What's it mean?
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : I ain't gonna tell you that.
Chérie : No, I wouldn't.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Yes, you would.
Chérie : Honest, I wouldn't.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Well, it means - "good lookin'." I never told that to a single person in my whole life. My Ma was French. She gave it to me.
Chérie : That's a real pretty name. Beauregard. You are, too. Real beauregard!

Chérie : It was real nice the way you made everybody shut up in there, like you had respect for me. You made them have respect too. I liked that.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : You did?
Chérie : Yes.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : How about me? Did you like me too?
Chérie : Well, when I first saw you, I thought you was some kind of a hooligan, yellin' and stompin' like that. But when I realized you was doin' it for me, I was attracted to you.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Attracted? You was?
Chérie : I still am.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : You still are! Really attracted?
Chérie : Uh-huh. 'Course, it's only what you might call a physical attraction.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Physical?
Chérie : I mean, you're so - big and strong and, well, so darn healthy-lookin'.
-
Chérie : [singing] You're the lover I have waited for, The mate that fate had me created for, And every time - your lips meet mine, Darlin', down and down I go, 'Round and 'round I go, In a spin, Lovin' the spin that I'm in, Under that - old black magic called love - love - love - love - love!
-
Chérie : Now wait a minute. Somebody's got the wrong idea around here.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : What do you mean, Cherry?
Chérie : My name ain't Cherry. I told you, it's Chérie.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : I can't say it fancy like that. Anyway, what's the matter with Cherry?
Chérie : Well, it ain't - dignified.
-
Chérie : If I'm not careful, I'm gonna end up in East No Place, Montana, with nothin' but him and a bunch of cows.

Virgil Blessing : He never even kissed a gal before he met you. You're forgettin' he spent his whole life pretty far out in the country.
Chérie : I know what happens in the country. I'm from the country myself. I've been kissin' boys since I was knee high to...
Virgil Blessing : Well, that's the point! You're kinda sophisticated for Bo.
Chérie : He sure didn't kiss like it was the first time.
Virgil Blessing : Well, Bo picks things up real quick.
Chérie : First time, huh?
Virgil Blessing : That's right.
Chérie : Sure ain't never had that honor before!

Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : You see, Cherry, the whole problem is that you just haven't had time yet to get attracted to my mind.
Chérie : Your mind? I know all about your mind I ever wanna know.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Well, do you know I can say the Gettysburg Address?
Chérie : Come bustin' in here like a wild Indian. Sometime...
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Cherry?
Chérie : Well, what?
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : "Four score and seven years ago, our Fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived..."
Chérie : Bo?
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : "In liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we're engaged in a great Civil War..."
-
Elma Duckworth : You've never been in love?
Chérie : I don't know. Maybe I have and I didn't know it. That's what I mean. Maybe I don't know what love is.
-
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : I lived all my life on a ranch and I guess I just didn't know anything about women. 'Cause they're different from men.
Chérie : Well, naturally.

Carl : One thing I can't stand is a bully.
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : [holding Chérie upside down over his shoulder] Who says I'm a bully?
Chérie : I do!
Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : [spanks Chérie's fanny] Quiet!
