Quotes 

• Carrie Standall : [as Baker rides to the Standall sisters' home, which is a shanty and a shed, next to an old mine, by the boundary of the Texas and New Mexico territory]  Baker, you just get purtier and purtier.

  Joe Baker : I sure am a lucky man. Every time I come back here, I half expect to see you two gone.

  Carrie Standall : Every time we think of leaving, Polly finds another nugget.

  Polly Standall : That's right. We ain't got nothin' but a cow and a hole in the ground.

  Carrie Standall : You might say we live from nipple to nugget.

  Polly Standall : [to Baker on his horse]  Come on down. I got a' itch that needs scratchin'.

• Colonel Morgan : [at the Standall sisters' place, on official business]  Ladies, we're looking for a man named Baker. Would either of you happen to know him?

  Polly Standall : Know him? He come through here last year like a dose of salts. He didn't even take his boots off.

• Polly Standall : [That evening, Col. Morgan and Bookbinder are at the Standall sisters' shanty, on official business, looking for Baker]  Why don't you-all sit down, make yourselves ta home?

  Colonel Morgan : Oh, no, thank you very much. We'd be most appreciative, if you'd allow us to sleep in your shed tonight.

  Polly Standall : [who wants Col. Morgan to spend the night in her shanty, so she can seduce him]  What's in the shed?
