- [although badly injured, Annie announces that she is ready to travel]
- Frank 'Flip' Flippen: Annie, I've never seen the like. You're supposed to be dead.
- Sour Annie Tatum: Yep. Well, fellow once told me that I was half bear and half devil. I guess maybe he was right.
- Sour Annie Tatum: Friend, you seen any strangers passing through lately?
- Storekeeper: Not too many. Anybody in particular on your mind?
- Frank 'Flip' Flippen: Yeah! Goes by the name of Harland Deal.
- Storekeeper: No, I don't think so. Don't know anybody by that name anyway. Friend of yours?
- Sour Annie Tatum: Well, you could put it that way, but you'd be dead wrong.
- Sour Annie Tatum: Where is that man now?
- Storekeeper: Now take it easy! He's still around. He's in that backroom.
- Frank 'Flip' Flippen: Stay here, Annie. I'll save you a piece of him.
- Frank 'Flip' Flippen: Fool's gold! Annie Tatum, you spent half your life prospectin' and you don't know the difference between fool's gold and real gold?
- Sour Annie Tatum: 'Course I know the difference! But most people don't and I got sick and tired of 'em laughin' at me for chasin' rainbows, so I just flash this at 'em. Besides, I carried it for good luck... or when I found the real thing.

- Frank 'Flip' Flippen: Mr. Kelly, did I ever tell you the time I was all alone in the Mojave without water, chased by hundreds of Indians, almost clawed to death by a mountain lion...
- Frederick 'Fred' Kelly: This boy spent too much time with Annie.
- Frank 'Flip' Flippen: I sure did.
