• Em : What are you two boys doing? Admiring each other's eyes or reading each other's epitaphs?

  Ned Trent : Em, the Judge is losing his grip. He's afraid of a place that sells vittles. Vittles and a pack of calf-faced girls.

• Ned Trent : Nice women can ruin a town, can they?

  Em : And how!

• Ned Trent : We ought to be able to lick a bunch a women with our hands tied behind our back.

• Judge Sam Purvis : I don't get it.

  Ned Trent : Well, get this. If anything else happens to the Harvey girls, you'll answer to me for it.

  Judge Sam Purvis : So, you've joined up with the petticoats then?

  Ned Trent : I haven't joined anything. All I'm saying to you is, lay off.

• Ned Trent : This country's not exactly healthy for a woman, Miss Bradley.

  Susan Bradley : Why? Do you mean because I tripped? Well, that could happen back in Ohio.

  Ned Trent : Back in Ohio they'd find you.

• Ned Trent : Hey, that's a pretty good number.

  Em : It's new. Terry taught it to me.

  Ned Trent : Good work, Terry.

  Terry O'Halloran : Thanks, Mr. Trent. It's really Em's voice that puts 'em over.

  Em : My *voice*? He's so *young*!
