[first lines]
[after Annie races by practicing her trick riding, Tagg approaches Lofty who's napping nearby]
Tagg Oakley : Say, Lofty, why aren't you watchin' Annie?
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Oh, I've seen Annie 'Roman Ride' before. I'll see her do it again at one of the fairs.
Tagg Oakley : What are you doin' out here while she's practicin'?
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : I'm supposed to help her if she gets in trouble - I guess. Have you ever known your sister to get into any trouble she can't get out of all by herself?

[Abner wants to search for the outlaws who robbed him]
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Just what experience have you had tracking?
Abner Harkey : Well, ah, me and Napoleon, we - that's my hound dog - me and Napoleon, you know, we used to go slashin' through the swamp. We used to track most everything - bear and possums - that sort of thing.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Mm-hmm. The nice thing about bear and possum - they can't shoot back.
Annie Oakley : But outlaws can - and do.

Abner Harkey : They don't make these saddles none too soft, do they?
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Stick with it, Abner. There's nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it.
Abner Harkey : Well, it ain't exactly my mind I'm settin' on.

Abner Harkey : Well, I reckon I better pitch in and help catch 'em no count outlaws.
Tagg Oakley : Were you a lawman back in Mississippi?
Abner Harkey : Well, no, no. Not exactly. But I reckon whatever needs doing, I can do it once I set my mind to it.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Are all you folks from Mississippi so modest?
Abner Harkey : No, sir, we're not. Why do you ask?

Abner Harkey : Gosh, that was a close one.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Any closer you wouldn't be talking now.

Abner Harkey : I ain't gonna have no trouble with that roping and riding type stuff. It'll just come natural.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Sure it will.
