- Glennister: I imagine that dress is supposed to have a chilling effect. Well if it is, it isn't working, 'cuz you'd look good to me, baby, in a burlap bag.
- Idabelle: I sure hope there's some colored folks on that boat. I is gettin' mighty tired pretending Eskimos are from Virginia.
- Cherry Malotte: Was anybody hurt?
- Idabelle: Whoever heard tell 'em of a shootin' when nobody was hurt? They don't go pointin' a gun at somebody unless they figures to hit 'em, does they?
- Idabelle: Colored boy! Where'd y'all come from?
- Glennister: [in blackface] How's y'all sweet thing. I figured it was about time for us to get acquainted!
- Idabelle: Is that so? Well, if y'alls think I'm the common kind that messes around with anything that comes along. I says if you thinks I'm that kind of a person, I'll pour y'all a cup of coffee.
- [Glennister takes off his hat]
- Idabelle: Here, now, wait a minute! Y'all ain't no colored boy! You's washable. Why, it's Mr. Glennister! Watch you doin' runnin' 'round here raisin' up a lady's hopes like that for? Wait'll Miss Cherry sees you!
- Glennister: Hold on a minute, Idabelle. Let's get rid of this Alabama tan first and you better wash this shirt.
- Idabelle: But, Mr. Glennister, you's more handsome now than yous ever been before.
- Glennister: And Miss Cherry might feel the same way and then I'd have to spend the rest of my life in a smokehouse. Now, go on and get me some soap and water.
- Cherry Malotte: If it's action you boys want, the game's open. The roof's the limit. But, if you're really playful, I'll take that off too.
- Cherry Malotte: Darling, get a bottle of brandy and a dozen hard boiled eggs.
- Idabelle: Better get a dozen bottles of brandy and one egg, Miss Cherry. Eggs is scarcer than watermelons around here.
- Helen Chester: I'm sure you'll be glad to know that law and order has come to Nome, Miss Malotte.
- Cherry Malotte: Yes. It'll be so much easier on the boys if the girls have to turn in their guns.
- Idabelle: Miss Cherry, you shore looks like the kind of medicine good for what ails a man!
- Cherry Malotte: All we need then is the man, eh?
- Idabelle: If you's referring to me, Miss Cherry, they shore is an absence of good, solid color in this here country!
- Cherry Malotte: No chance of choosin', Idabelle?
- Idabelle: No. No pickin' neither!
- Al Dextry: A woman don't have to wear a polish like a new dime just out of the mint. Them that picks up a little experience along the way goes just as good over the counter.
- Alex McNamara: It's a fair gamble, especially if the house will take off the limit.
- Cherry Malotte: There's no limit here. Anything you can win, you can collect.
- Alex McNamara: You promised to show me around, remember?
- Cherry Malotte: I haven't forgotten. Some other time.
- Alex McNamara: Maybe you'd better slip upstairs and sip a warm lemonade before you break out in a rash of righteousness.
- Alex McNamara: [after Glennister punches out a man that was about to hit McNamara with a chair] Thanks Glennister, that's one I owe you.
- Glennister: Don't mention it. I hope I didn't make a mistake.
- Alex McNamara: Meaning... you've got an idea I might've had it coming to me?
- Glennister: There's just a chance the whole town *could* be wrong.
- Cherry Malotte: Idabelle where are you?
- Idabelle: Here I is, Miss Cherry. Here I is!
- Cherry Malotte: What are you doing with that dress?
- Idabelle: Oh, I just smoothin' it out a bit. I heard that loudmouth baboon yellin' that the boat was in. I figured y'all wanted to meet him in style.
- Cherry Malotte: Now that we're old friends, you may call me Miss Malotte - if you'd rather.
- Alex McNamara: Still running cold. When comes the thaw?
- Cherry Malotte: It's more fun this way.
- Helen Chester: I may have more respect for Roy Glennister than you have.
- Alex McNamara: Oh, yes, of course. He's a big handsome lad, isn't he? I hope you're not softenin' up like a school kid on a hayride.
- Glennister: [in blackface] How are ya, Mr. Bones?
- Al Dextry: Well, Mr. Tambo, I'm just about even.
- Glennister: Even?
- Al Dextry: Even better than I was befo'.
- Glennister: All right, men, let's mount up. You all know what you're supposed to do. And, remember, if you have to shoot, aim low! We don't want to kill anybody.
- Chinese Man in Jail Cell: Excuse, please. Lik'em see Chinese counsel.
- Deputy: How many times have I got to tell you there ain't no Chinese counsel nearer than Seattle or maybe you'd like to see him?
- Chinese Man in Jail Cell: Welly good. You unlock door, I go Seattle.
- Deputy: Ah, you talk like a foreigner!
- Glennister: Well ol' timer... you were right. We're gonna do it your way.
- Al Dextry: Well... now you're talkin'!
- [shaking hands vigorously]
- Cherry Malotte: Wait a minute. You two are planning to dynamite yourself into a mess. I won't let you do it! I could get about four thousand together, that should be enough.
- Glennister: We got a good sized poke of our own, why should we cut into yours? C'mon Dex!
- [leaving, pauses in the doorway and turns back to Cherry]
- Glennister: But that was a nice thought, Sport. Thanks for now, and I'll be back later to put some lace on it.
- Cherry Malotte: [worried] What do think they'll do, Bronco?
- Bronco Kid Farrow: If it was my dough they were holding in that bank, I know what I'd do.
- Cherry Malotte: [Awaiting the judge in Glennister and Dextry's hearing] Now that we are old friends you may call me Miss Malotte... if you'd rather.
- Alex McNamara: Still running cold! When comes the thaw?
- Cherry Malotte: It's more fun this way. Besides, the line forms in back of the Bronco Kid. Mr. Farrow... Mr. McNamara.
- Alex McNamara: Hiya, Farrow.
- [Eyes the Bronco Kid whittling a matchstick with a switchblade knife]
- Alex McNamara: Something you got for Christmas?
- Bronco Kid Farrow: Yeah, I always carry it. I never know when I'm gonna run into a piece'a cheese.
