Quotes
-
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : [Lofty races his horse as though the Devil is at his heels, all the way back into town, throws himself off his horse to dismount, and runs into Annie's kitchen] I remembered, Annie. I was way out in Bear Canyon and, all of a sudden, I remembered.
Annie Oakley : Remembered what?
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : That today was the day you promised to bake those chocolate walnut cookies for me.
Annie Oakley : [She loosens his hand that has scooped up at least five of the gourmet delights] Not for you, Lofty, they're for Tagg.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Annie! No, Annie, I think you're spoiling that kid brother of yours.
Annie Oakley : And I'm not spoiling you, is that it?
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : You couldn't spoil me. Well, I strive for attention, affection and, ah, your delicious cookies.
Annie Oakley : All right, you may have two.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Only two?
Annie Oakley : You don't want to spoil that waistline of yours.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : [He breathes in, raises his shoulders, his chest puffs out and he shows off a slim waistline] Why, Annie, I'm positively skinny. Like a mosquito.
Annie Oakley : It looks more like a honeybee to me.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Honeybee? Your honeybee?

Tagg Oakley : It was so hot, we figured, it'd be cooler down by the stream.
Annie Oakley : Oh, I see. And I suppose a big black bear came along and pushed you both in while you were sitting there. Is that it?
-
Annie Oakley : Think you're safe there, Mr Prince?
Mr. Prince : Let's see you come and get me out.
Annie Oakley : I'll angle this next one so it just parts your hair. Now I'm sure I can place this one right in the middle of your forehead.
-
Annie Oakley : Well, there's one comfort anyhow. At least, you're not a teacher by profession. I'd sure hate to think of our younger generation being in the hands of people like you.
-
Annie Oakley : Public sympathy's bound to be on your side.
Widow Malloy : I'm not so sure. That Eastern schoolteacher's got everybody moonstruck.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : I'm asking you to be reasonable, Ma'am.
Widow Malloy : No woman is reasonable when she's losing her son. Now go.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Can't make war against widows and kids. If if means handing in my badge, I'll hand it in.
Annie Oakley : You won't have to, Lofty. We'll just tell the Board of Education that we couldn't find Davy.

Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : I was feeling awfully empty. And your cookies are so good, so delicious, so nourishing.
Annie Oakley : And you're so large for just a small boy.
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : I didn't think you'd mind if I had one.
[One in his mouth and at least five in his big hand]
Annie Oakley : One?
Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Oh, um. Guess they kinda stuck to my fingers.
