• Bill Harmon : Did you have a nice trip?

  Joan Benton : I thought it would never end! The driver walked the horses for the last five miles.

  Bill Harmon : Well, that's so he could make that run down the street to show the citizens how fast the service is.

• John Benton : This assayer is as slow as molasses, so I may be in there quite a while.

  Joan Benton : Don't hurry on my account, Dad.

  Bill Harmon : Take your time, Mr. Benton. There's been a lot of weather for your daughter and me to talk about.

• Bill Harmon : I only met your Dad yesterday, but I sure like him.

  Joan Benton : Well, I consulted with the stork a long time before I picked him out.

• Joan Benton : Let's go, Bill. He's drunk.

  Henchman 'Red' Snyder : I'd resent that if it came from a lady.

  [Bill reaches for his pistol, but changes his mind] 

  Henchman 'Red' Snyder : I didn't think you would. I bet you take your sasparilla straight!

  [Red turns and walks into the saloon] 

  Joan Benton : Being a gentleman is hard work at times, isn't it, Bill?

  Bill Harmon : I think you'd better help your daddy with that assay report.

  Joan Benton : Don't drink too much sasparilla.

• [Joan visits Bill in jail] 

  Joan Benton : I'm disappointed in you, William Harmon.

  Bill Harmon : Why is that, Joan?

  Joan Benton : I came here to cheer you up and you're gay as a lark.

  Bill Harmon : Why shouldn't I be? I'm in cage.

  Joan Benton : Maybe that's where you belong.
