Quotes 

• Jessica Harrison : If I'd wanted your help, mate, I would've asked for it.

• Jessica Harrison : [viewing from horseback, after Jim saves Jessica and they kiss, a change coming in the Aussie mountain weather]  It changes so suddenly. One moment it's like paradise, the next it's trying to kill you.

  Jim Craig : Yep, that's how it can be up here. But, uh, if it was easy to get to know it, there'd be no challenge. You've got to treat the mountains like a high-spirited horse; never take them for granted.

  Jessica Harrison : It's the same with people, too.

• Jim Craig : I think they're trying to make a butler out of me.

  Jessica Harrison : Well, they're trying to make a lady out of me.

  Jim Craig : Well, they won't have no luck.

  Jessica Harrison : Thank you very much!

  Jim Craig : Oh, hang on, that's not what I meant.

  Jessica Harrison : And they won't make a gentleman out of you, either.

• [Harrison is threatening to send Jessica away to a ladies' college] 

  Jessica Harrison : No! I won't go!

  Harrison : [slaps Jessica]  You're as deceitful as your mother.
