Quotes 

• Lazio Tzgorni : I'm going to shoot you!

  Rowdy Yates : Not with that you're not.

  Lazio Tzgorni : Why not?

  Rowdy Yates : Well, it's rusted tight, that's why.

  Lazio Tzgorni : It is?

  Rowdy Yates : [Rowdy grabs the small gun]  If you're gonna go around shootin' people, you gotta oil these things.

  Lazio Tzgorni : Please spare my life. Look, I have money, much money. I can make you rich, both of you. I've gold, a whole bagful of gold.

  Gil Favor : Take it easy, Mister. We don't want your life or your gold. We just heard the music and got curious.

  Lazio Tzgorni : Just a pair of wandering music lovers, hey?

• Lazio Tzgorni : It once belonged to Catherine the Great, Empress of all the Russians.

  Gil Favor : $10!

  Lazio Tzgorni : $10? For a cattleman you have all the instincts of an Armenian rug dealer.

• Wishbone : If you've absolutely gotta know, Emily ain't laying like she ought.

  Gil Favor : By feeding her salt?

  Wishbone : I'm not feeding. I'm sprinkling. Don't you know anything about chickens and all? A laying hen in a ring of salt, an egg a day without a halt. Thought everybody knew that.

  Gil Favor : I heard of it, but I always kinda suspicion that it was just a silly superstition.

  Wishbone : Are you calling me superstitious?

• Gil Favor : It's hard enough pushing a drive without having trouble amongst the men. And I got no room for Prima Donnas!

  Wishbone : Prima Donnas! Would you break that down into American?

  Gil Favor : Yeah! That is a cantankerous old snapping turtle who suddenly got it into his head that the whole world's against him!

  Wishbone : ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! They'll get there three squares a day but if you think I'm gonna be Little Miss Sunshine for that bunch of saddletramps, you got ANOTHER THING COMING!

  Gil Favor : All right, I'll settle for three meals a day, and try to get along with the men will you.

  Wishbone : I'LL DO MY BEST!

  Gil Favor : YOU DO JUST THAT, HUH!

• Lazio Tzgorni : My chicken?

  Wishbone : YOU MEAN MY CHICKEN!

  Gil Favor : No, not Emily!

  Wishbone : YOU CANNIBAL! Mr Favor, either that dirty robber goes, or you just lost a cook.

• Gil Favor : Look, Wishbone, I'm getting fed up of your bellyaching.

  Wishbone : Mr Favor, I just want to offer you a doughnut. Go ahead, they're fresh. Here, take two. Got up pretty early and baked them myself. There just isn't anything that's too good for my boys.

  Gil Favor : Your boys. I thought you'd given up cooking.

  Wishbone : Now whatever gave you an idea like that?

  Gil Favor : Just hints, like screaming I quit at the top of your lungs.

  Wishbone : Look, you just lookee here. Come right over here and look here. There's cornmeal mush, there's scrambled egg, there's fried potatoes, and nice baked ham, grits and gravy, flapjacks, doughnuts. Does that look like I quit?

  Gil Favor : Aw, what's happening to you, Wish? Shoulda happened a long time ago.

  Wishbone : He could've gone all day without saying that.
