Quotes25

  • Cherie: I hate you and I despise you! Now give me back my tail!
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Well, I've been thinkin' about them other fellas, Cherry. And well, what I mean is, I like you the way you are, so what do I care how you got that way?
  • Cherie: Bo!
  • [crying]
  • Cherie: That's the sweetest, tenderest thing anyone ever said to me.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: I still wish you was goin' back to the ranch with me more than anything I know.
  • Cherie: You do?
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Yeah, I do.
  • Cherie: I'd go anywhere in the world with you now. Anywhere at all!
  • Cherie: I just got to feel that whoever I marry has some real regard for me, aside from all that lovin' stuff.
  • Cherie: Well I had to do something, he was making a fuss in front of all those people.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: My name is Beauregard Decker, ma'am. I am 21 years old and I own my own ranch up in Timber Hill, Montana, where I got a fine herd of Hereford cattle, a dozen horses and the finest sheep and hogs and chickens in the country. Now I come down for the rodeo tomorrow with the idea in mind to find me a angel and you're it. Now I don't have a whole lot of time for sweet talkin' around the bush so I would be much obliged if you would just step outside with me into the fresh air.
  • Cherie: What'd you say?
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: My name if Beauregard Decker, ma'am. I am 21 years old and I own my own ranch up in Timber Hill, Montana, where I got a fine...
  • Cherie: I know. I heard all that part...
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: O.K. Let's get out of here!
  • Cherie: I'm mighty grateful for what you did but we're not allowed to go out with the customers. But you can buy me a drink if you want to. I'm so dry I'm spittin' cotton.
  • [last lines]
  • Cherie: Bye, everybody! Bye! Bye.
  • Cherie: Wait! I haven't put my lipstick on yet!
  • Chérie: [singing] That old black magic has me - in its spell, That old black magic that you weave so well, Those icy fingers up and down my spine, The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine...
  • Chérie: He called me an ignorant hillbilly. How do you like that?
  • Vera: Well, ain't ya? I don't mean ignorant. I mean, but you do come from the Ozarks.
  • Chérie: I ain't sung hillbilly since I was... Well, not since I turned chantooze. I've been tryin' to be somebody.
  • Chérie: [singing] Aflame with such a burning desire, That only your kiss - kiss - kiss - can put out the fire...
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Cherry.
  • Chérie: Chérie! It's French. It means "dear one."
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Well, my name's kinda French, Beauregard. It means somethin' too.
  • Chérie: What's it mean?
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: I ain't gonna tell you that.
  • Chérie: No, I wouldn't.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Yes, you would.
  • Chérie: Honest, I wouldn't.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Well, it means - "good lookin'." I never told that to a single person in my whole life. My Ma was French. She gave it to me.
  • Chérie: That's a real pretty name. Beauregard. You are, too. Real beauregard!
  • Chérie: It was real nice the way you made everybody shut up in there, like you had respect for me. You made them have respect too. I liked that.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: You did?
  • Chérie: Yes.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: How about me? Did you like me too?
  • Chérie: Well, when I first saw you, I thought you was some kind of a hooligan, yellin' and stompin' like that. But when I realized you was doin' it for me, I was attracted to you.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Attracted? You was?
  • Chérie: I still am.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: You still are! Really attracted?
  • Chérie: Uh-huh. 'Course, it's only what you might call a physical attraction.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Physical?
  • Chérie: I mean, you're so - big and strong and, well, so darn healthy-lookin'.
  • Chérie: [singing] You're the lover I have waited for, The mate that fate had me created for, And every time - your lips meet mine, Darlin', down and down I go, 'Round and 'round I go, In a spin, Lovin' the spin that I'm in, Under that - old black magic called love - love - love - love - love!
  • Chérie: Now wait a minute. Somebody's got the wrong idea around here.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: What do you mean, Cherry?
  • Chérie: My name ain't Cherry. I told you, it's Chérie.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: I can't say it fancy like that. Anyway, what's the matter with Cherry?
  • Chérie: Well, it ain't - dignified.
  • Vera: I just don't understand that boy. What's he got on his mind, anyhow?
  • Chérie: Me.
  • Vera: You know, I think he is crazy.
  • Chérie: Sure he is. Crazy as a bedbug.
  • Chérie: If I'm not careful, I'm gonna end up in East No Place, Montana, with nothin' but him and a bunch of cows.
  • Virgil Blessing: He never even kissed a gal before he met you. You're forgettin' he spent his whole life pretty far out in the country.
  • Chérie: I know what happens in the country. I'm from the country myself. I've been kissin' boys since I was knee high to...
  • Virgil Blessing: Well, that's the point! You're kinda sophisticated for Bo.
  • Chérie: He sure didn't kiss like it was the first time.
  • Virgil Blessing: Well, Bo picks things up real quick.
  • Chérie: First time, huh?
  • Virgil Blessing: That's right.
  • Chérie: Sure ain't never had that honor before!
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: You see, Cherry, the whole problem is that you just haven't had time yet to get attracted to my mind.
  • Chérie: Your mind? I know all about your mind I ever wanna know.
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Well, do you know I can say the Gettysburg Address?
  • Chérie: Come bustin' in here like a wild Indian. Sometime...
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: Cherry?
  • Chérie: Well, what?
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: "Four score and seven years ago, our Fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived..."
  • Chérie: Bo?
  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker: "In liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we're engaged in a great Civil War..."
