Gail Davis: Annie Oakley

Quotes 

• Tagg Oakley : [Tagg is looking at the poster advertising Snowy Kringle, the Mountain Man, World's Greatest Sharpshooter]  Oh, Annie, look at that rifle it sure is big.

  Annie Oakley : That's an old flintlock pistol.

  Tagg Oakley : And that old hogleg pistol?

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : An old cap and ball, Tagg.

  Tagg Oakley : Gosh, they haven't used those guns since Danial Boone. How can he be the world's greatest sharpshooter?

  Annie Oakley : Some of those old mountain men are pretty good shots, Tagg.

  Tagg Oakley : But not half as good as you are.

  Annie Oakley : Looks like my brother is my greatest booster.

• Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : What makes you think there might be a hold-up?

  D.K. Rodney : Because Snowy Pringle's coming in on the same train.

  Annie Oakley : He doesn't look like a hold-up man to me. He looks like a Santa Claus.

  D.K. Rodney : Except this Santa Claus wears a gun. He knows how to use it. Shot a station agent in Dodge City. Can't always judge a man by his appearance. Miss Oakley, sometimes a man's not what he seems.

• Tagg Oakley : Hey, Annie, I want to show you something. Look at that. He doesn't even have regular bullets in his gun. See!

  Annie Oakley : It's birdshot.

  Tagg Oakley : But why? If he's a sharpshooter?

  Annie Oakley : Shhh! Come outside and I'll show you.
