  Bella Grant : All right. What he doesn't know won't hurt 'im.

  Hec Ramsey : Well, Hell, suppose he's a friend of mine?

  Bella Grant : Don't friends share?

  Hec Ramsey : Oh, I wouldn't. No way, no how.

• [Hec meets a new woman in town in her home] 

  Bella Grant : Why don't you sit down for a while?

  Hec Ramsey : Well, I think I'd best be on my way.

  Bella Grant : Are you shy, Hec?

  Bella Grant : Then you're afraid.

  Hec Ramsey : Well, no ma'am, I'm not smart enough to be afraid, but I just don't like leavin' tracks in another man's yard.

• Bella Grant : What're you doin' here? This is a woman's place.

  Hec Ramsey : Well, I'm very fond of women.
