The Adventures of Spin and Marty (1955)

Leonard P. Geer: Ollie

Quotes 

• Ollie : When you're a kid, there's the whole world to happen.

• Ollie : Well, I'll be a blue-nosed gopher.

  Perkins : I think he's doing very well indeed.

• Ollie : How many times I gotta tell you boys not to bother me while I'm doin' my weekly relaxation? Whaddya want?

  Spin Evans : Is it okay to saddle this horse for Perkins?

  Ollie : Perkins?

  George, the cook : Nice Sunday afternoon. He take a rest? No. He play cards with Sam? No. He gotta go for ride in country.

  Perkins : Good day, Oliver, Master Evans. This is my steed, I presume?

  Ollie : Perkins, I'm proud of you.

  Perkins : Oh, I simply decided that it was my duty to learn to ride. As long as I'm staying at the Triple R, I feel I should master the equestrian art.

  Ollie : The what?

  Perkins : Precisely. I really hadn't intended to bother you at all, Oliver. That's why I asked Master Evans to help me.

  George, the cook : Hey, Perkins, you know what's wrong with horses? Look, no wheels!

• Perkins : Why, I say, Oliver, I never saw a horse with such well-developed ears.

  Ollie : That's 'cause it's a mule. This here's Daisy, one of the pack mules. Loyal, fearless, smart, and dependaple.

  Perkins : Well, I'll just walk her around for a bit, just to get the feel of her. I won't be long.

  Ollie : Perkins, this here's got the smoothest, easiest gait. Like sittin' on a rocking chair. Ain't that right, Spin?

  Spin Evans : Sure, Daisy's easier to ride than a merry-go-round.

  Perkins : Well, in that case, would you give me leg up, Oliver?

  Ollie : Right-o.

  Perkins : Upsy-daisy. There we are. Well, thank you very much, Oliver, Master Evans. Well, off we go! Tally-ho!

• Ollie : Spin and Marty? You call that a fight?

• Bill Burnett : Have you counted your horses this morning?

  Ollie : Have you counted your riders?

  Bill Burnett : I'm looking for Marty. He snuck out early for some reason.

  Ollie : Again? How many times have you lost that one?

  Bill Burnett : You know how Logan is about boys taking out horses alone, new boys, at least.

  Ollie : And what gives you the idea he'd be taking out a horse?

  Bill Burnett : Ollie, will you wake up? Marty's nowhere around, and you know how sensitive he is about having to ride Skyrocket around the corral with the smaller kids.

  Ollie : A fellow could learn a lot doing it by himself. Like the bridle. Must've been no easy job snagging Skyrocket with that.

  Bill Burnett : Ollie, you did see him. What's the matter with you?

  Ollie : I didn't say I saw anything. Just one bridle I didn't see.

  Bill Burnett : And one horse named Skyrocket. You better get out there and haul him back, or else I will, before Logan finds out.

  Ollie : If the kid wants to do anything that bad, let him. He ain't gonna be hurt.

  Bill Burnett : He really snuck out Skyrocket by himself?

  Ollie : Spin Evans pulled the same stunt his first summer. Wound up makin' camp rodeo.

• Ollie : Is he hurt, Bill?

  Bill Burnett : Looks like he's got a broken arm. He better get him back to the ranch.

  Col. Logan : I'll ride ahead and get the doc.

• Spin Evans : On Daisy, you got nothing but a passenger. If she decides to go sight-seein', he might not be back for a week.

  Ollie : Then I guess I won't have Perkins bothering me for a while, will I?
