Quotes 

• Millie Davis : Perfume! From Paris, France!

  Flint McCullough : By way of St Joe, Missouri. Now the lady told me it was a sure man catcher.

  Millie Davis : Oh, I could use a barrel of it.

• Millie Davis : Oh, Flint. You've been missed around here. We figured on the calendar this would be about the time of year you'd be through here.

  Flint McCullough : Oh.

  Penny Davis : I had it figured for next week. I was going to take a bath.

• Penny Davis : I guess you have to be real brave to be a wagon train scout, don't ya, Flint?

  Flint McCullough : Ooh, well. I don't know how brave you gotta be. Let's just say it helps if you don't scare easy.

  Penny Davis : I'd be scared. Out there. All alone. Wild animals howling. Indians taking potshots at you.

  Flint McCullough : Penny, there's one thing I've learnt scouting: An Indian will never take a potshot at you. Unless he's mad at you.

  Penny Davis : How can you tell when he's mad at you?

  Flint McCullough : He takes a potshot at ya.

  [She giggles] 

  Penny Davis : Golly, Flint, I hope you stay around awhile. It's fun.

  Flint McCullough : Well, I gotta hang around until the Eastbound stage pulls in. If I don't bring those newspapers back to the Major, he'll skin me alive.

  Penny Davis : He wouldn't do that.

  Flint McCullough : Well, he would if he was mad enough.

  [He smirks as he sets up his next joke] 

  Penny Davis : I know. I'm supposed to say: How can you tell if he's mad enough? But I'm not going to.

  Flint McCullough : Penny, I wish I got 'round here more often. You and I could take long rides like this, have serious talks like this.

• Flint McCullough : See if you can find cigars. Pete. And I'll pass them around. Isn't that what new fathers are supposed to do?

• Mrs. Winston : Penny seems quite attached to you.

  Flint McCullough : Penny, Millie and I are old friends.

  Albert Sykes : To say the least.

  Flint McCullough : I always drop in on them whenever I'm in the territory.

  Albert Sykes : It seems to me, young man, that you're taking your fatherhood rather lightly.

  Flint McCullough : FATHER?

  Millie Davis : I know you told me not to say anything. But, well, this morning it just blurted out.

  Flint McCullough : You mean, you told these people that I was...

  Millie Davis : I didn't mean to but- our secret's out.

  Flint McCullough : Well, let's not spread it too far.

• Millie Davis : You'd better fix him a drink. He's just become a father.

  Pete Bailey : Congratulations!

  Flint McCullough : Start explaining, Millie, and it better be good.

• Flint McCullough : Well, you be a good girl when you get to Philadelphia, you hear.

  Penny Davis : I won't be a saint, Flint. But I'll be as good as I can.

  Flint McCullough : Okay... Now, wait a minute. You're not going to need these where you're going.

  Penny Davis : 'Cause not, Flint. I'm gonna get me those big city fancy ones with the golden edges.

  Martha : And she's going to teach me how to play Blackjack.

• Millie Davis : It's Penny.

  Flint McCullough : Come over here and tell me all about it.

  [He draws her onto her lap as they sit on the leather buttomed sofa] 

  Millie Davis : Haven't you heard her? She sounds like a mule-skinner. She talks like one. She thinks like one too.

  Flint McCullough : She's just a baby. She'll grow out of it.

  Millie Davis : I didn't mind when she was a baby. But, Flint, she's 8 years old now and she's never even been to school.

• Flint McCullough : Just waiting for the right fellow to come along?

  Millie Davis : No, no. He's come. I'm still waiting. Guess I always will be.

  Flint McCullough : Millie, if things were different. If I were just settled. Believe me, you wouldn't have to wait any longer.

  Millie Davis : Well, it's nice being almost proposed to anyway.

  Flint McCullough : Maybe I'll change oneday.

  Millie Davis : No, I don't think so, Flint. Not 'til there are no more wagon trains, no more rivers to cross, no more mountains to climb.

  Flint McCullough : Right now, there's not a mountain or river in sight.
