Isabelle Steers
- Isabelle Steers: The Leave It state. Ya got money you want to gamble? Leave it here. You got a wife you want to get ride of? Get rid of her here. Extra atom bomb you don't need? Blow it up here. Nobody's gonna mind in the slightest.
- Isabelle Steers: I love Nevada. You know, they don't have regular meal times here. Never met so many people didn't own a watch! Might have two wives at the same time, but, no watch. Bless them all.
- Roslyn: Why can't I just say he wasn't there. He - I mean you could touch him, but he wasn't there.
- Isabelle Steers: Darling, girl, if that was grounds for divorce, there'd only be about 11 marriages left in the United States.
- Roslyn: You're a mechanic too?
- Isabelle Steers: Him? He's a cowboy!
- Gay: How'd you know?
- Isabelle Steers: I can smell, can't I.
- Gay: Hey, you can't smell cows on me.
- Isabelle Steers: I can smell the look on your face, cowboy. But, I love every miserable one of you. Of course, you're all good for nothin' as you well know.
- Roslyn: I can't memorize this. It's not the way it was.
- Isabelle Steers: Just say it. It doesn't have to be true. This isn't a quiz show, it's only a court.
- Isabelle Steers: Look, here girl, I think I better tell you somethin' about cowboys.
- Roslyn: You really worry about me, don't you.
- Isabelle Steers: Well, you're too believin'! Cowboys are the last real men left in the world and they're about as reliable as jackrabbits.

- Isabelle Steers: Young man, do you have the time? I got six clocks in the house and none of them work.
- Guido: Twenty after nine.
- Isabelle Steers: After? It's twenty after, dear. Dahlin'. Five minutes.
- Roslyn: What about you?
- Isabelle Steers: I'm all set, I just tyin' my sling. The lawyer said nine thirty sharp, dahlin'.
- Roslyn: Okay.
- Isabelle Steers: No, you're just a cowboy, darlin'. You fellas won't move unless its rainin' down your neck.
- Isabelle Steers: This'll be my 77th time I've witnessed for a divorce. Two 7s! That's lucky, darling!
- Roslyn: Oh, Is, I hope.
- Guido: Listen, now, if you're not going back East right away, I'd be glad to take you out and show you the country. Beautiful country around here, you know.
- Roslyn: Well, I don't know were I'll be, but, okay. Thanks, again.
- Isabelle Steers: My name is Isabelle Steers.
- Guido: Isabelle. Well, okay, you come along too.
- Isabelle Steers: That's a sweet afterthought. You Reno men!
- Roslyn: Who was he? Maybe they know him.
- Isabelle Steers: Darling, you can't go around lookin' for a man
- Gay: What'd - he take off?
- Isabelle Steers: No. Not exactly.
- [laughs]
- Isabelle Steers: He just never came back.
