• Cherry de Longpre : Well, after all, it ain't no disgrace to be saved by a woman.

  Melody Jones : Saved? What kind of a chump do you take me fur? You still think I don't know who you were shooting at?

  Cherry de Longpre : What?

  Melody Jones : Look, Cherry, when a fella puts hisself between a another fella and his girl, he's got to look out for shootin' from both sides. I understand that. He's got to be ready...

  [Interrupted] 

  Cherry de Longpre : Are you trying to tell me that I was shooting at *YOU*?

  Melody Jones : I ain't blamin' ya, I tell ya. It was a showdown. You had to make a quick pick which fella you wanted. All I got to say is I'm mighty glad you ain't a better shot than you are. Thanks for taking care of my saddle for me.

  [He walks out of house across the yard to saddle his horse] 

  Cherry de Longpre : Why you... .you butterfingered GUN-JUGGLER!

  [pauses] 

  Cherry de Longpre : MELODY!

  [Sharpshoots target across the yard next to Melody's horse and then through the reins Melody holds] 

  Cherry de Longpre : HOLD IT!

  [Shoots a hole through the top of his tall cowboy hat] 

  Cherry de Longpre : That's just to show ya when I aim at something, I hit it. And when I hit something, that's just what I aimed at.
