• Novalyne Price : Why don't you tell me about your character, Conan?

  Robert E. 'Bob' Howard : Conan? Conan is the damnedest bastard there ever was! He's got a long black mane of hair, and crystal blue eyes. He's a fighter, born on the battlefield! To him, combat's a way of life. It's all he's ever known, all he ever WANTS to know! But he's no soldier who was taught to fight. To him, fighting's an instinct... it's a part of him, like his legs, his arms, his chest, his bull neck! And believe me, he don't take it from nobody; he'll fight man, beast, devil or god! And when those women feel those tree trunk-firm arms around their waist... they melt like butter on a hot skillet!

• Robert E. 'Bob' Howard : Hey girl. Take a look at the sunset that I ordered for you.

• Robert E. 'Bob' Howard : To make life worth living a man or woman has to have a great love or a great cause... I have neither.

• Clyde Smith : You try to write like the guys in the magazines?

  Robert E. 'Bob' Howard : Hell no. Let 'em try and write like me!

• Novalyne Price : Well I haven't seen any giant snakes, or big buxom naked women frolicking through the Texas hills lately.

  Robert E. 'Bob' Howard : Oh but I have. You look more closely next time.

• Robert E. 'Bob' Howard : Maggots of corruption are all around you!

  Novalyne Price : Hospitals and schools.

  Robert E. 'Bob' Howard : What?

  Novalyne Price : Hospitals and schools, they heal they teach. You use 'em, but you don't give society credit for 'em?

  Robert E. 'Bob' Howard : Ah, we men made a hell of a mistake when we sent women to college, and gave you the vote.

  Novalyne Price : You just watch it.
