Quotes 

• Annie Oakley : Don't take much checking in my book. Scott Warren's one of the Yager gang. Told you he was mixed up in Bob Reagan's killing. Scott Warren out to be locked up in jail with his no-good brother. Look, I know, Morley, that Bob Reagan was one of your best friends but you're wrong about Scott. He's even agreed to testify against his brother.

  Howard Morley : What makes you think he'll even turn up at the inquest?

  Annie Oakley : He will. That's one thing I would bet on.

• Annie Oakley : It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind. How about it, Morley?

  Ranch Hand Joey : Come on, boss. we gotta go.

  Howard Morley : Some other time.

  Annie Oakley : Well, you're not gonna back out now after all that big talk about you being King of the Roman Ride.

  Howard Morley : Not at all, Annie. It's just that I haven't got the time. You're talking your way out of your class, Annie. Why, you'd never stand a chance with me.

  Annie Oakley : You talk a good race, Morley, but I can see you're afraid to put your ability on the line.

  Howard Morley : Afraid? That's ridiculous.

  Ranch Hand Joey : Come on, boss, we gotta go.

  Howard Morley : Yeah, we gotta go, Annie.

  Annie Oakley : I told the folks in town you'd back down. Now they'll know for sure that you're nothing but a bragger.

  Howard Morley : That did it. Joey, go get the teams ready.

• Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : You're under arrest for assaulting an officer of the law.

  Duke Jaegar : What kind of frame-up is this? That's a bailable offence and I'll put up his bail right here and now.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Sorry, Jaeger, I'm not authorised to set or accept bail. That's the Judge's job.

  Annie Oakley : He's out of town, won't be back until tomorrow. Lock him up, Lofty!

• Scott Warren : Did you get a good look at them, Annie?

  Annie Oakley : No, it was just some of those so-called respectable citizens of Diablo. Probably headed by Howard Morley.

• Annie Oakley : I'm going to take you up on that bet, Howard Morley. Your best horse against my special-made rifle.

  Howard Morley : Well, that. It'll have to wait, Annie. I've got some other business right now.

  Townsman : I thought you never bet.

• Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : What are you going to do, Annie? You can't stop an angry mob like that all by yourself.

  Annie Oakley : No, I know I can't, Lofty. But a train doesn't work very well without an engine. Maybe I can sidetrack Howard Morley before he gets up any steam.

• Annie Oakley : Look, Scott, we've got this fire licked together. We can lick whatever is troubling you. But you've got to tell me the truth.

  Duke Jaegar : I can't, Annie. If I do, they'll...

  Annie Oakley : It is Linda, isn't it? Where is she?
