  Foxy Smith : Well, that's it. What's the damage?

  Bret Maverick : Oh, make it an even two thousand.

  Foxy Smith : Fair enough. I enjoyed the action. That's strange.

  Bret Maverick : What's strange?

  Foxy Smith : My wallet. I'm sure I had it when I left the hotel.

  Bret Maverick : I'm sure you did. Try your back pocket.

  Foxy Smith : It's not there. Somebody must have clipped it. I'm sorry, but if you will give me your address...

  Bret Maverick : I keep moving around. My address keeps changing.

  [while sitting among the lot from the Mint, Bret absentmindedly picks up a gold bar] 

  Marshal : Oh, wait a minute. Say, don't you think I'd better send one of my men along with ya? Because I sure wouldn't wanna miss one word of that long story you gotta tell.

  Bret Maverick : Well, I don't think that'll be necessary, marshal. You're gonna find it interesting, though.

  [Bret starts to walk of while still holding the gold bar] 

  Marshal : Oh, son.

  Bret Maverick : Yep.

  Marshal : You won't need that.

  Bret Maverick : Oh, that. No. Of course not. So long, marshal. Marshal... so long.

• Belle Starr : What's the matter. You 'fraid a girls?

  Bret Maverick : Girls? No, it's the men they belong to that make me nervous.

• Bret Maverick : Well, that diamond stickpin you're wearing must be worth something. I'll just hold that for collateral.

  Foxy Smith : Sorry, no deal. It's my trademark, kind of a lucky piece.

  Bret Maverick : I'm sure it'll be lucky for me too.

• Cole Younger : Tell me you're pretty good with a gun.

  Bret Maverick : h, I do the best I can.

  Cole Younger : The ladies too, huh?

  Bret Maverick : Like I say, I do the best I can.

• Belle Starr : You gotta right to hate me. Do ya?

  Bret Maverick : No. No, Belle. You did what ya had to do. If you ever wanna change your line of work, try the stage, you're a good actress.
