Paul Brinegar: Wishbone

Quotes 

• Mushy : [From his bath in the Shaving Parlor Baths and Hall after singing a round Campdown Races]  I can hardly wait to see those sights and lights. What about you, Murdock?

  Murdock : Just as long as the sights are pretty. With dimples. I like them all with dimples. Ah yeah, man!

  Mushy : With dimples!

  [happy laughter from Murdock and Mushy] 

  Wishbone : Be sure you get washed good behind the ears, boy. Don't want them dancehall girls to see how green you are.

• Wishbone : Well, what do you want to give it to me for? Why don't you give it to Mr Favor, or the bank? How'll you know I'll wake up in the morning and have it?

  Jim Quince : I trust you more than I trust me.

  Wishbone : Well, I'm not sure I do.

  Jim Quince : But you ain't gonna get drunk, or gamble it away, or maybe get rolled of it by some no-account dancehall queen. Or nothing.

  Wishbone : I ain't? Then what am I here for?

• Wishbone : Wishbone's Eatery! The Turf Wagon Beanery! Cafe a Wishbone, that's what it'll be!

• Wishbone : And I was feeling sorry for you, trying to defend you, thinking that, it wasn't that at all. You're just plain no good.

  Gil Favor : You finished?

  Wishbone : Not by a long shot. Now maybe you do have problems, maybe everything isn't all sunshine and good grass. That's no reason to turn sour. Some of us got problems. But we're not gonna let a friend down.

  Gil Favor : Well, I can't stop you if you want to get Rowdy into more trouble than he's already in.

• Gil Favor : Guess I'm a fool, I'll probably die on the trail. Oh, the meeting will be at the railroad depot at Chicken Feathers Siding in four weeks. Will I see you then?

  Rowdy Yates : Yeah, I hope to have caught up with some gals.

  Wishbone : Or unless he gets caught up with some other girl.

  Gil Favor : Self-control, that's the secret.

  Wishbone : Good luck in Philadelphia.

• Gil Favor : What makes you think I need cheering? Come on.

  [and he leads Hey Soos off to find another store that sells shirts] 

  Rowdy Yates : Come on, Wishbone.

  Joe Scarlet : We decided we needed a drink.

  Wishbone : Mighta knowed you wouldn't get past the first saloon.

  Jim Quince : What's the matter? Wouldn't he come with you?

  Rowdy Yates : Ah, who cares if he comes with us? The way he's acting, he'd just ruin the party anyway.

  Wishbone : You ever think he's got troubles you don't know about?

  Rowdy Yates : What troubles? He just got a disposition like ten miles of bad trail, that's all.

• Mushy : She looks like one that can take care of herself. Besides what was she doing mixed up with Johnny Coulter? He wasn't any prize.

  Wishbone : Well, that's true. I ain't even sure that was his real name.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, with a gal like that in love with him, musta had something.

  Mushy : Well, if she loved him. Anyway it ain't any affair of ours. Besides are we gonna let her spoil our party.

  Jim Quince : nah, let's have a drink.

  Wishbone : Let's go.

  Rowdy Yates : Sure was a pretty girl.

• Wishbone : I don't care what her name is, or what her pedigree is. I'm gonna do like I promised.

  Jim Quince : Now, lookee here you little buzzsaw, that's my money!

  Wishbone : Well, you told me to keep it.

  Jim Quince : I never did. You took my money and you stole my money and you won't give it back.

  Mushy : Mr Wishbone never did no such thing.

  Jim Quince : Who are you calling a liar?
