• Jeff Pruitt : No, for marryin', a fella wants a... a female type, you know? Kinda soft and squishy-like. I figure the right place to find one of 'em's right here in town.

  Andy Taylor : Oh. Well, they ought to be a few answerin' that description around here.

  Jeff Pruitt : Sure! Only need *one*! I figure I'll stick around town a couple days and look over the available stock and pick one and take her back to the farm.

• Andy Taylor : You can't pick out a wife in just two days!

  Jeff Pruitt : Why not?

  Andy Taylor : Well, how you know you goin' find one who wants to marry you that quick?

  Jeff Pruitt : Well, I'm good-lookin', ain't I?

  Andy Taylor : Well, yeah.

  Jeff Pruitt : I'm strong enough to protect a woman, ain't I?

  Andy Taylor : Well, sure.

  Jeff Pruitt : Got one of the best farms in the county, ain't I?

  Andy Taylor : Well, yeah.

  Jeff Pruitt : Well, then, shouldn't take more'n two days!
