Quotes 

• Lisa Temple : Tell me, Mr Favor, how's a woman go about wrapping you around her finger?

  Gil Favor : By not trying to, by not running away from things.

  Lisa Temple : I'm really running away from you, you know.

  Gil Favor : Oh, why?

  Lisa Temple : Well, I've been distracting to your men and I've slowed up your cattle drive. I've put you in jeopardy with Hogan's men and with the law. Oh, I'm sorry, Mr Favor, I just wish I could start all over again. With you.

  Gil Favor : You really mean that. There is a way. We can start over together. At the Marshall's office.

• Mushy : I just wanted to say goodbye, Ma'am.

  Lisa Temple : [She kisses him on the cheek]  Aw Mushy. It ain't much but it's the nicest way I know to say thank you.

  [She turns to Wishbone and shakes his hand] 

  Lisa Temple : Mr Wishbone, whiskers, adobe soup, needle and thread and all, I'll never forget you.

  Wishbone : It's been a pleasure, Ma'am.

  [Wish is still hopeful but disappointed there's no kiss] 

  Lisa Temple : Mr Scarlett, Mr Quince, Mr Toothless, I just want you to know that I've never been treated so kindly by such real gentlemen. And Mr Favor, I'll never forget your hospitality as long as I live, I promise.

  Gil Favor : I promise I'll never forget your bright little smile... All right, let's roll out.

• Lisa Temple : It's not fair what I've done.

  [to your men] 

  Gil Favor : They've enjoyed it. Scarlett and Quince had a reason to shave. Toothless found out what a comb was for again.

• Rowdy Yates : Well, if a woman kills a man like that, she can't be all bad.

  Lisa Temple : I didn't kill anyone. All I did was compromise with my conscience.

  Rowdy Yates : Oh, a goddess with a conscience. Well, your Temple may have come tumbling down, but it'd take a lot more than that to pull the Louise Temple I knew off her pedestal.

  Lisa Temple : Rowdy, I'm trying to change. You gotta believe that.

• Lisa Temple : Well, if it isn't the honourable AJ Hogan, beloved chairman of our city council complete with his assortment of housebroken ringtail puppets.

  A.J. Hogan : You always knew how to make an entrance, Louise.

  [She is Lisa Louise Westell/Temple] 

  Lisa Temple : That wasn't all I knew how to make, right, Mr Chairman. What was your take from the Temple? 20%? Look at him, Mr Favor. A pillar of society whose balloon of respectability started to come down when I decided to ring down the curtain on Louise Westell and that goldmine of graft.

  A.J. Hogan : Why don't you stick to the facts, Louise. The sherriff, not you, closed that gambling hall down.

  Lisa Temple : And this gentleman is our local schoolteacher, Mr Respectability himself. He owes me so much in gambling debts, he has only two choices,to kill himself or me.

  A.J. Hogan : We aren't here to talk, Goddess.

  Lisa Temple : And this noble soul is Jeremiah Breen, my most persistent admirer, always found time to woo me with flowers and promises, money too. Where did you get the money, Mr Breen, from your wife and children?
