Quotes 

• Harrison Destry : Spink, I'm forming a committee.

  Spink : A committee?

  Harrison Destry : A committee to advise me. I mean, somebody who might not be, you know, personally eligible to win the prize.

  Jewel Scrogg : Careful now, love.

  Harrison Destry : Well now, look, I don't know anybody in this town and you two know everyone. Tell you what we do. Besides you got that broad experience of human nature.

Then next Sunday, we'll have a grand final public award ceremoney - so nobody can jump me without witnesses - and you two can sit on the platform with badges on.

  Spink : Well, but don't you think we ought to have a three-man committee... sort of spread out the risk a little?

  Jewel Scrogg : Oh, don't be silly, Spink. Who else in town is willing to admit they aren't the most deservin'?
