Barbara Nichols: Sadie Wren

Quotes 

• [Longbridge, a whiskey drummer, is sampling his wares] 

  Aeneas Longbridge : "Oh God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains."

  Sadie Wren : You think that up all by yourself?

  Aeneas Longbridge : Ha! That's from 'Hamlet: Prince of Denmark'. I'm merely trying to prove it.

  Major St. Clair : You're mistaken, sir. It's from 'Othello: Soldier of Venice'.

  Aeneas Longbridge : My dear Major...

  Major St. Clair : Cassio's speech - Act 2, Scene 3, Line 291.

  Aeneas Longbridge : [sighs]  I bow, sir, to your superior memory. Already it would seem the enemy has stolen away my mind.

• [the stagecoach passengers vote on whether to fight the bounty hunters or turn Manolo over to them] 

  Luke Perry : All right, it's up to you. Zeke?

  Zeke Bonner : I do hate bounty hunters.

  Luke Perry : Longbridge?

  Aeneas Longbridge : A long time ago, I ran away from a place called Fredericksburg. I guess I've been running ever since. You know, Mr. Perry, there's no satisfaction in it.

  Luke Perry : Sadie?

  Sadie Wren : Got a coin?

  Luke Perry : Mrs. St. Clair?

  Lucinda St. Clair : My husband decides for both of us.

  Major St. Clair : You know, we've overlooked one thing - even if we do give up Colonel Lalanda, there's no assurance these people will allow us to leave. Besides, I haven't been in a shooting fight since... Fredericksburg.

  Luke Perry : Davey? You're in this, too.

  Davey Kane : I better go get your coat, Mr. Lalanda. The nights get awful cold around here.

• [referring to the shootout between Manolo and Brandy's bounty hunters] 

  Sadie Wren : What was that all about?

  McGonigle : One way to live peaceful and grow old is don't ask questions.

• Sadie Wren : [to Manolo]  You're no thief but, until you tell us what you are, you're worse than that. You're nothing!
