Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : DIES? You ain't gonna practise butchery on no friend of mine. I'm gonna get him what he wants and that's a real doctor.

  Dr. Louise Amadon : Look, Sonny. I'm more real doctor that'll you probably ever see again. It took me three extra years to get into medical school because of idiots like you. And when I got there, I had to work ten times harder and be ten times better just to get my degree. Well, now I'm a doctor, a real doctor and I will not take any more abuse from knuckle-headed cattle bums like you. Is that perfectly clear?

• Rowdy Yates : Where's the Doctor?

  Gil Favor : Right here.

  Rowdy Yates : What do you mean, right here?

  Gil Favor : What I said, Dr Louise Amadon.

  Rowdy Yates : You're kidding.

  Wishbone : Not a crazy woman.

  Gil Favor : That's enough.

  Dr. Louise Amadon : It's all right. I'm quite accustomed to stupidity.

• Gil Favor : You want these all at once or would you like some one first? Done dressing him, putting the sheet over him, fixing the cot, washing our hands, or feeding him whiskey?

  Dr. Louise Amadon : You'd better give him the whiskey first.

• Gil Favor : I ain't seen you crack a smile once, or have a good word for anybody.

  Dr. Louise Amadon : Well, I'm a doctor, not an entertainer.

• Gil Favor : My problem is to take care of my men. And if you get in the way of that, I'll fight you like the man you're trying to be.

  Dr. Louise Amadon : Those fools came in here in the middle of surgery and you're trying to tell me I shouldn't have treated them like fools.

  Gil Favor : They didn't know nothing about no operation. They came in here thinking Carter was dead. Once they found out they was wrong, they was willing to leave nice and quiet. You haven't got a button in your head for anybody but yourself, have you. There's a man's life at stake in there and you can't hold your temper for one minute. You know better than anybody else he can't be moved. Yet you're willing to take a chance on having us all thrown out of town. Just so you can prove a point.

• Dr. Louise Amadon : Let me examine Mrs Opal.

  Rowdy Yates : Ah, you, can't, ah. You can't do that. She's been buried already.

  Dr. Louise Amadon : Dig up the body.

  Gil Favor : WHAT! Haven't we got enough trouble with the Law already without asking to be lynched.

  Wishbone : That isn't the half of it. You know what they do to people who they catch digging up graves? Have you ever seen that?

• Dr. Louise Amadon : I've learnt a great deal from men. Men who wouldn't let me live on campus. Men who put rats in my lunchbox. Men who made passes on condition that they'd give me passing grades. Men who come in here and wreck my place, and I can't even go to the Law. Because the Law is a man. Well, they taught me well. They taught me that, in a man's world, you connive and cheat and you look out for yourself. Because if you don't, nobody's going to do it for you.

• Harv Carter : Say, Doc, tell me. Did I yell much?

  Dr. Louise Amadon : Like a baby.

• Dr. Louise Amadon : Get out! And tell that phoney professor that the next time he sends somebody here I'm going to blow their head off.

  Gil Favor : Wait a minute. I don't even know what you're talkin' about. My name's Favor. I'm trail boss on a herd going North. Now if you'll just tell me where the doctor is.

  Dr. Louise Amadon : I'm the doctor.

  Gil Favor : You?

  Dr. Louise Amadon : Louise Amadon, MD.

  Gil Favor : Yeah. But you're a woman.

  Dr. Louise Amadon : Well, how clever of you to figure that out so fast, Mr Favor. Now do you want a doctor, or don't you?

  Gil Favor : Yeah, well, sure. We need a good one. I mean. This is an emergency.

  Rowdy Yates : We ain't gonna find nothing here. Let's go back and get the Professor.

  Dr. Louise Amadon : I'd let you two try that charlatan. He's a man which means he fits your specifications.
