- Dr. Miguelito Loveless: Come back... you... you fraidy cat!
- [turns to Artemus]
- Dr. Miguelito Loveless: And you, Mr. Gordon! You didn't play fair! You cheated!
- Artemus Gordon: A weakness. So sue me!
- Dr. Miguelito Loveless: Don't be absurd. I am a genius.
- Jim West: You'll never pull it off.
- Dr. Miguelito Loveless: I will so!
- Dr. Miguelito Loveless: Ah, there you are.
- Artemus Gordon: No, you have us confused with somebody else. We're over there.
- Dr. Miguelito Loveless: Mr. Gordon, you're such a wit!
- Artemus Gordon: You've said that before, many times.
- Dr. Miguelito Loveless: And I say it again-now, Mr. Gordon... on the floor!
- Artemus Gordon: [after Loveless' men unshackle him after West and Wanakee failed to escape] We got a reprieve?
- Jim West: No, not exactly.
- Artemus Gordon: Well, then, what's going on? I know that Loveless isn't about to let us go.
- Jim West: Not on your life.
- Artemus Gordon: Well, then, what was...
- Jim West: Because he knows we won't try to escape, so there's no point in being chained.
- Artemus Gordon: We won't try to escape? Where'd he get that ridiculous notion?
- Jim West: From me.
- Artemus Gordon: [laughs] From you?
- Jim West: I gave him my word.
- Artemus Gordon: [stops laughing] Wait a minute, you're not serious, are you?
- [pause]
- Artemus Gordon: You realize you just put our necks in the noose? What could you have been thinking of?
- Princess Wanakee: Of me. He was thinking of me, Mr. Gordon. The doctor would've killed me if Mr. West hadn't given his word that you two would not try to escape.
- Artemus Gordon: Well, that figures.
- Princess Wanakee: There is great sorrow in my heart that I will be the cause of your death. My life is my own to lose. But I cannot accept in my heart... that I shall take two lives with me.
- [walks into the tent]
- Artemus Gordon: You were right, Jim. She's quite a girl.
