Quotes 

• Bonnie Rayburn : [Discussing the pet calf]  That's really wonderful. You got him to drink from the bottle.

  Mitch Robbins : Yeah, thank God, 'cause my nipples were killing me.

• Bonnie Rayburn : [explaining why she broke up with her ex]  We had different needs. I needed him to treat me decently and get a job, and he needed to empty my bank account and leave.

• Mitch Robbins : [later that night, at the dance]  You're wrong, Ed, I'm telling you, it was not a stupid thing to say.

  Ed Furillo : It WAS. She says, "thanks", and you say, "I'm married."?

  Mitch Robbins : Yeah! I don't want any... false flirtings.

  Ed Furillo : False flirtings.

  Mitch Robbins : Mm-hmm!

  Ed Furillo : Well, what if you're like me? What if you don't encourage them, and they still come after you?

  Mitch Robbins : It doesn't happen. See, women need a reason to have sex, men just need a place.

  Bonnie Rayburn : [walking by]  Good night! I'm going to bed.

  Mitch Robbins : [smiling widely at her]  Good night! Sleep tight.

  [Bonnie smiles and waves] 

  Ed Furillo : [to Mitch]  That was flirting.

  Mitch Robbins : No, that was... politeness. That was "have a pleasant and restful evening."

  Ed Furillo : No, that was "I like your ass. Can I wear it as a hat?"

• Mitch Robbins : [Jeff and T.R. have been intimidating Bonnie, Mitch tries to step in]  Bonnie, you want to come ropin' with us?

  Bonnie Rayburn : Yes, I'd...

  Jeff : [Jeff and T.R. step in front of her]  No, that's all right, Bonnie's talking with us, friend.

  T.R. : She's fine right here.

  Mitch Robbins : [as Phil and Ed approach]  Listen, guys, what are you doing, huh? This isn't exactly nineties behavior, I've gotta be honest with ya.

  Jeff : ...You stepped on my foot.

  Ed Furillo : He did not, you horse's ass.

  Jeff : You want a piece of this?

  Ed Furillo : Any time, Zeke.

  Jeff : How about right now, 'Stubby'?

  Ed Furillo : Fine!

  Curly : [makes his introduction, by roping Jeff from horseback and choking him to the fence. He enters the corral and addresses Bonnie]  This man owes you an apology.

  Mitch Robbins : I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it.

  Curly : Not you... him.

  [motioning to Jeff] 

  Jeff : [refusing]  Uh-uh. No.

  [Curly pulls a huge knife and throws it at Jeff, landing within an inch of his crotch] 

  Jeff : Ahhhh!

  [to Bonnie] 

  Jeff : I'm sorry, ma'am, that'll never happen again!

  Mitch Robbins : Yeah, see that it doesn't!

  [Curly glares at him] 

  Mitch Robbins : I'm sorry, I thought that we were... on the same... you're doin' fine!

  Curly : [walks up to Jeff and retrieves his knife]  You guys were drinkin'... don't let it happen again.

  [Jeff agrees violently. Curly uses his knife to raise his hat to Bonnie] 

  Curly : Ma'am...

  [and departs. The two cowboys make a hasty exit in the opposite direction] 

  Mitch Robbins : Did you see that guy? That is the toughest man I've ever seen in my life!

  [to Bonnie] 

  Mitch Robbins : Did you see how leathery he was? He was like a saddlebag with eyes!

  Bonnie Rayburn : Listen, it took a lot of courage to do what you did. Thank you.

  Mitch Robbins : [They begin to smile and eye each other, then Mitch comes to his senses]  I'm married.

• Bonnie Rayburn : [listening to the guys talk baseball]  Ugh, baseball.

  Ed Furillo : You've got something against baseball?

  Bonnie Rayburn : It's just I used to live with a guy who was like a baseball encyclopedia and I just got flashes.

  Phil Berquist : You broke up with him 'cause of baseball?

  Bonnie Rayburn : Uh, no, we had different needs. I needed him to treat me decently and get a job, and he needed to empty my bank account and leave.

  Mitch : Ouch.

  Phil Berquist : So, do you hate baseball?

  Bonnie Rayburn : No, I like baseball. I just never understood how you guys could spend so much time discussing it. I mean, I've been to games, but I don't memorize who played third base for Pittsburgh in 1960.

  Mitch : Don Hoak.

  Ed Furillo , Phil Berquist : Don Hoak!

  Mitch : Beat you.

  Bonnie Rayburn : See, that's exactly what I mean.

  Phil Berquist : So, what do you and your friends talk about out there?

  Bonnie Rayburn : Well, real life. Relationships. Are they working? Are they not? Who's she seeing? Is that working?

  Ed Furillo : No contest. We win.

  Bonnie Rayburn : Why?

  Ed Furillo : Honey, if that were as interesting as baseball, they'd have cards for it and sell it with gum.
