Quotes 

• Charlie Wooster : The only enemy I got around here is you, Charlie. Only I wish you'd use a gun, not this rat poison.

  Charlie Wooster : Oh, you're complaining about my cooking again, huh. Well, that's a good sign, Coop.

• Charlie Wooster : Coop, you want to tell Uncle Charlie what the trouble is?

  Cooper Smith : There's nothing to tell. And since when did I join your family?

  Charlie Wooster : Oh, when you joined the wagon train. We're all one family here, Mr Chris, Bill, Barney, you, me. Just like blood ties and brothers don't fight with each other either.

  Cooper Smith : Sometimes they do. Brothers have been known to kill each other.

  Charlie Wooster : I'm sure when they do it doesn't make God happy with them.

• Charlie Wooster : How long you worked here?

  Teeney : [She laughs heartily]  Since the flood, I guess. I was the first one Noah let off the ark. Mrs Noah was getting upset.

• Charlie Wooster : Piney Flats, Texas? That's where you stem from, ain't it Coop? Huh?

  Cooper Smith : Yeah. What about it?

  Charlie Wooster : Nothing. I was just thinking. Must be a nice little town. You know, pine trees, pine cones, bet it smells nice there too, yessir. It's a small town, ain't it, Coop?

  Cooper Smith : Yes, it's a small town. What's your point?

  Charlie Wooster : Nothing. I was just making small talk while I tidy up. Funny coincidence, now, come to think of it, Piney Flats is where that Sangre comes from.

  Cooper Smith : What's funny about it?

  Charlie Wooster : Kind of a funny thing. People from a small town are generally neighbourly and know everybody. You and him don't seem to get on?

  Cooper Smith : How do you know he's from Piney Flats?

  Charlie Wooster : Well, I um, well, I was gathering up firewood. I got a little close to their wagon. I heard Sangre and that fella say what a beautiful town Piney Flats was and how nice the air is.

  Cooper Smith : It's a dirty town and there's no pine forest left. The air is full of the stink of the turpentine they make there. You quit snooping and keep your nose out of what is none of your business, else I gonna do something neither of us is gonna like. Is that understood?

• Barnaby West : I can see and don't think I could shoot as good, Charlie. Some shooting.

  Charlie Wooster : You know what he said every time he shot?

  Barnaby West : What?

  Charlie Wooster : Coop, Coop, Coop. He's not target shooting, he's practising for murder.
