Quotes 

• [Agatha rents a room above the saloon] 

  Herk Lamson : Marshal Fry asked me to look out for you, Miss Stone, but you sure ain't makin' it easy.

  Agatha Stone : Oh, you object to my staying here?

  Herk Lamson : Yes, ma'am.

  Agatha Stone : Well, thank you, Marshal. I appreciate your concern, but not the reason for it.

• Clay McCord : Herk, I swear she climbed on that horse nine times. Nine times!

  Herk Lamson : Bless my soul.

  Clay McCord : "If you're goin' to stay aboard," I said to her, "you gota hang on with everything you got - hands, feet, legs, knees, fingernails - everything!" After a while it was just a question of who was going to give up first - Miss Stone or the horse. She wouldn't, so the horse finally did.

• Herk Lamson : It sure was a sight to behold, but it'll only make them women get bigger ideas. Someday we're liable to have a lady marshal.

  Clay McCord : Ah, so that's why you're on the same side as Hodges.

  Herk Lamson : Clay, don't go classifying me with that smoothy who gets rich off saloons and dance halls.
