- [takes Stormy's deck of cards]
- Harrison Destry: Stormy, you won't need these in Boston. Besides, it isn't ladylike to play blackjack.
- Stormy: Destry, you're a no good back-stabbin', sneak thief who ain't got no manners whatsoever.
- Harrison Destry: Uh-huh.
- Archibald Tuttle: Who *hasn't* got *any* manners whatsoever, sweetie.
- Stormy: How do you like that? I'm not even out of town yet and he's already tryin' to make a girl out of me.
- [first lines]
- Harrison Destry: In the West I know, a man could get hurt in a lot of ways - trampled, shot, hung, busted up, starved, died of thirst, surprised by Indians - a lot of dangers. The most dangerous of all... well, let me put it this way. I knew a fellow once; he was the fasted gun in the West; threw the strongest punch in the West; had the richest gold claim in the West... he also had the softest head in the West. Didn't know real danger when he saw it. Real danger, my friend, is a woman.
- Bessie Hawkins: If they hurt her, I'll kill them!
- Harrison Destry: She'll be all right. Remember what I told you.
- Bessie Hawkins: I can handle a dozen Sam Benders. What about you? Travers hates you.
- Harrison Destry: Well, if nothing else, that speaks highly of my character.
