- 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.
- 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]
- Snowy Kringle: Get your clothes on and pack your bag, Santa Claus. You're gonna take a slide down a chimney tonight right into a cell in the Diablo Jail.
- Snowy Kringle: How do you get out of here?
- Jackson: [the telegraph man] You can't, there's bars on all the windows.
- Snowy Kringle: And Snowy Kringle's out there blowing the safe.
- Jackson: You think it was him?
- Snowy Kringle: Didn't you notice his boots?
- Jackson: No, but I noticed his gun and it ain't no cock and ball gun.
- Snowy Kringle: Aw, you don't think he's stupid enough to use his own gun.
- Clem Lacey: Say, you got a badge. You a lawman?
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: What do you think I was chasing you for?
- Clem Lacey: How did I know? I got 50 bucks on me. I figured you was out for a hold-up.
- 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.
- D.K. Rodney: That's the westbound train. They don't know but they're picking up two passengers.
- Clem Lacey: It's the Sunset Limited. It'll never stop here.
- D.K. Rodney: It'll stop today. Change your semaphore.
- Clem Lacey: But.
- D.K. Rodney: You heard me, Clem. Let's red light that train.
- Snowy Kringle: There's a lot of nice people in this town, Major. I got only one complaint. This Diablo dust kinda gets in a man's eye.
