- Buckhorn - Diablo Stage Manager: [to the parrot which repeats everything he says] Oh, shut up, you loudmouthed cousin to a chicken. I don't have to listen to your sass.
- Patricia Dennis: $40 A MONTH? My father didn't intend for me to starve. I'll sell it and get enough to pay my fare back to Boston..
- Patricia Dennis: Of all the unmitigated impudence-
- [She reaches for the rifle which Annie sharp shoots from her hand]
- Patricia Dennis: Why, you savage.
- Annie Oakley: Yes, I know. Whips are nice and ladylike but guns aren't.
- Buckhorn - Diablo Stage Manager: They call that a tallyho. The dudes ride around in it, get nowhere. And she wore out the horses riding to the Hijinks. So Mike just sent the thing here to use as a stage.
- Annie Oakley: It's funny about that mine manager coming here.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: About as funny as breaking a leg, every leg in Diablo.
- Patricia Dennis: I'm sure Mr Wylie will give me better protection than you did.
- Wiley: You're not very likely to be held up twice in one day.
- Patricia Dennis: Of all the incompetent, unreliable...
- Annie Oakley: Take it easy. I think I can guess. You were held up.
- Patricia Dennis: You think? And where were you?
- Patricia Dennis: Buckhorn, is it bad?
- Buckhorn - Diablo Stage Manager: There's been times in my life that I've felt better.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: Why would he be holding up a poverty stricken stage line?
- Annie Oakley: I don't know. But I aim to do some scouting around his ranch.
- Patricia Dennis: And if I win?
- Annie Oakley: I'll be your ladies maid all the way back to Boston.
- Patricia Dennis: That should be very amusing.
