Quotes 

  • Charlie Wooster : Oh, just one, Bill.

    Bill Hawks : No, I don't think so.

    Charlie Wooster : Oh, come on, please. You know, ever since the Major hid his private stock on me, I've had enough dust in my throat to plant a pack of spuds. Irish spuds.

  • Patrick McClure : That settles it. I, Patrick McClure, will kill the kid.

    Charlie Wooster : I heard what you said.

    Patrick McClure : Indeed?

    Charlie Wooster : You ought to be ashamed saying anything like that.

    Patrick McClure : Like what?

    Charlie Wooster : Don't try to lie to me. I heard you say you were gonna kill the kid.

    Patrick McClure : Well, that's right. I said it.

    Charlie Wooster : You really gonna do it?

    Patrick McClure : Well, naturally, I'm the only man for the job. Everybody knows that.

    Charlie Wooster : Well, if you do that, you have to fight your way through Charlie Wooster.

  • Charlie Wooster : A little baby?

    Casey : A darling little baby. Too bad it was exposed to the plague.

    Charlie Wooster : The plague?

    Casey : Yes, the plague.

    Charlie Wooster : That's bad, bad.

    Casey : BAD? It's terrible.

    Charlie Wooster : Poor Little Darling. What are you going to do with it?

  • Charlie Wooster : Well, you did it again, didn't you?

    Bill Hawks : What did I do?

    Charlie Wooster : Getting so it's not safe to take you into town any more.

    Bill Hawks : [Bill is nursing a bruised eye and a cut lip from the rollicking fight in the saloon that Charlie instigated]  It ain't safe? GIVE ME THOSE LINES. YAH! YAH! YAH!

  • Charlie Wooster : [In the supply wagon, Charlie empties a whole sack of flour into a barrel, a fair portion of flour settling on himself, he fashions the bag into a diaper]  Shh. Now, let's see I can't remember how they did this. Hey, it suddenly comes to me. Shh. Be right there. Hey, shh. That's it... This oughta do the job, young fella. I don't know much about this but I'm willing to take a chance if you are. Say, I don't suppose you're old enough to tell me your name, are you. How about Johnny? I'll just call you Johnny, huh? On second thoughts, I guess I better call you Mary. Let's see now. Must go this way. Lift your feet up here.

    [Charlie utters all the usual baby gibberish a man musters when faced with a baby, while the wagon wanders off course and away from the train] 

  • Charlie Wooster : Here, what do you think of this? Right from the cow, nice and warm. Taste it. Like it, huh? I'd like to have a nice, cold beer myself. If there's anything I hate, it's hot milk right from the cow.

  • Charlie Wooster : It's funny how you lose your taste for this stuff all of a sudden. Oh, what do you know about it? If it weren't for some of this same stuff, you and I would never met.

  • Bill Hawks : Charlie, this is a supply wagon, not a Roman chariot. You know if you tried to race that fellow, you'd probably jerk the whole tongue out of this outfit.

    Charlie Wooster : Listen, I take care of these wagons and they're ready to roll at all times. YAH. YAH!

    Bill Hawks : Wait a minute, Ben Hur. This is not the Colosseum, it's a road into town. Now let's go the way we're supposed to.

    Charlie Wooster : Who's this Ben Hur?

    Bill Hawks : He used to drive chariots back in the Roman days.

    Charlie Wooster : You and yer book learning.

  • Charlie Wooster : Say, I think you kinda like Uncle Charlie a little bit, don't you? And I begin to see why folks get married and have little babies like you. But I guess it's a little late for an old goat like me. I was always so busy trying to keep from being hogtied by some woman that I didn't know what I was missing.

    Bill Hawks : Now I know I'm dreaming this whole thing.

  • Charlie Wooster : I can't take a chance on him making me take her back to Apache Flats. He might not believe that story about them trying to kill her. He might also say that I had too much to drink.

    Bill Hawks : Well, didn't ya?

    Charlie Wooster : It don't make any difference whether I did or I didn't. I know what I know. And he'd be riding me off all the way to California for bringing a plaguered baby on the train. Now you know that. Can't you just hear him?

    Bill Hawks : Yeah, I have to admit that I can.

  • Charlie Wooster : I'm just trying to save a human being's life, that's all. Well, a baby's almost human, ain't it?

  • Charlie Wooster : [Charlie sings his theme song]  Wooster is a busy man, cooks his vittles in a pan, picks his choppers with a knife, will he ever find a wife? Now, don't you cry, Babykins, don't you holler and don't you hoot. If you cry now, Babykins, I will bang you in the soup. Don't you cry, Babykins, Little One with double chins. If you cry now, Babykins, I will kick you in the shins. I wouldn't kick you in the shins, you know that.

    [the infant lying in her basket in the back of the supply wagon chortles and gurgles throughout the song] 

  • Charlie Wooster : [Tears stream down Charlie's face]  Sure, bet you're just like me, I bet you never held a baby in your arms. Go on, hold her. Take her, please.

  • Charlie Wooster : Me? Charlie? That's a funny name for a girl, ain't it?
