• Tagg Oakley : Why don't you let me have a gun, Annie?

  Annie Oakley : Ah, not for a few years yet, Tagg. Guns ain't for kids.

  Choctaw : I could teach you to handle a bow, son. Anything Annie can do with a shooting iron, I can do with this Indian artillary.

• Choctaw : Ain't that just like a woman. Whoever heard of shooting a bow backwards.

  Annie Oakley : It's not your fault, Choctaw, it's these modern inventions.

• Annie Oakley : This is one time I don't know where the bullseye is.

• Elaine Forbes : I'm named after the Lily Maid of Astolat. She's my ideal.
