Quotes 

• Major Seth Adams : By Golly, these are quite some biscuits you got here. First biscuit I ever saw you can play 'Home Sweet Home' on.

  Luther Henry : You shoulda seen last night's.

  Gabe Henry : Well, you ate 'em, I noticed.

  Luther Henry : I still got some stuck between my teeth, like Indian rubber. See?

• Parson Zeke Plummmer : Well, Gabe, if you haven't found someone to set the bells ringing in 5 years, I don't see how you can expect me to conjure up someone at a box social in 4 hours' notice.

  Gabe Henry : [They watch as Luther trails a suitable prey]  Who in the world is THAT?

  Parson Zeke Plummmer : I don't know. She just came in on the morning stage... You might not need a box social after all. You've got agents all over town.

• Luther Henry : A good one just went by but she was took up.

  Gabe Henry : Well, they can't all be took up...

  Luther Henry : ...How's a man go about flushing 'em out?

  Gabe Henry : Don't ask me, I never done it before.

• Gabe Henry : Well, hold on, I spent $2 to rent this buggy here. Now you wouldn't want that to go to waste, would ya?

• Gabe Henry : I want you there beside me when we see that ranch for the first time. The green hills and the creek running by the house, the horses galloping across the bottom land with their tails high in the air.

  Candy O'Hara : Will you stop talking that way.

  Gabe Henry : Well, you are the contrariest woman I ever saw.

  Gabe Henry : I AM NOT!

• Gabe Henry : Once we get to California on that ranch we can send more money back home than you ever could working as a waitress. Don't go contrary on me now. We got no time for that.

  Candy O'Hara : I'm not, Gabe. I'm...

  Gabe Henry : I could tell right back there in that store. I could tell the first time I set eyes on you.

  Candy O'Hara : Have some more chicken.

• Candy O'Hara : Well, I suppose you can read my mind.

  Gabe Henry : How can I when you can't.

• Major Seth Adams : Has she asked you for any money, Gabe?

  Gabe Henry : Naaaah. Why did you ask me that? You mean you think she'd...

  Major Seth Adams : Gabe!

  Gabe Henry : She can't be that kind of a girl, Major.

  Major Seth Adams : How do you know?

  Gabe Henry : Well, I just do. That's all. If you know any different, you tell me right now. Go on, let's have it.

  Major Seth Adams : Gabe, just don't quite know what to tell yer. You're a grown man, and you ought to be able to make up your own mind. I just don't want you to jump into a pond until you know how deep it is.

• Gabe Henry : [to Luther]  Put you in charge of the biscuit campaign. I got a war to worry about.

• Major Seth Adams : I guess it doesn't matter much what a man does. As long as he doesn't get himself hung. He can always reform. But with a woman, well, I guess it's like Candy said.

  Gabe Henry : What was that?

  Major Seth Adams : She said that it was kinda like trying to run away from your shadow.

  Gabe Henry : Major, she ain't gonna stay in that place.

• Candy O'Hara : I tell you a secret, Gabe. Even he won't marry me.

  Gabe Henry : Kathleen.

  Candy O'Hara : No, it's Candy. That's what they call me in Wichita and Abilene and Hays City. Why don't you take that box and just go onto the Box Social and see if you can't find yourself a 'nice girl' that you and Luther can be proud of.

• Gabe Henry : No, I just sorta sensed it. You look like you might be a good baritone.

  Marty Benson : [sings]  Beautiful Dreamer, waken to me- How's it sound?

  Gabe Henry : First rate.

  Marty Benson : Think I ought to sing it?

  Gabe Henry : No, you won't be singing at all.
