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 : Hello, Tagg, how's the hotel business?

  Tagg Oakley : I got a 25cent tip tonight.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Well, business is booming. Annie, the country's headed for good times.

• Tagg Oakley : Are you really the world's greatest sharpshooter? With that old muzzle gun?

  Snowy Kringle : You want to see how old Betsy works.

  Snowy Kringle : Sure.

  Snowy Kringle : You just run down the road apiece, blow up this toy balloon and set her adrift.

  [And in spite of the strong wind, Kringle makes the perfect shot] 

• 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.
