- 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: Well, there's a well right outside your shack.
- Judd: Water is for bathing. Who told you?
- Judd: Pete, you're sure looking great. Don't he look great, Hank?
- Hank: He sure does, he looks great.
- Judd: [Pete weakens, sets out two glasses and places the whiskey bottle on the bar. Judd pours the drinks and down the hatch they go] Sure goes down smooth.
- Pete Bailey: Put something on the bar besides your elbows.
- 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.
- Ike Daggett: Cherokee would have been the next stage stop. It's only 3 or 4 miles. I'd take you but, huh, I wouldn't be welcome.
- Martha: 3 or 4 miles? Indians will find us. What'll happen to us then?
- Ike Daggett: Speaking for the Indians, Ma'am, in your case, nothing would happen.
- Albert Sykes: I suppose you realise that what you've done is a capital offence. Speaking as an attorney I can promise you it will only lead to trouble.
- Ike Daggett: The trouble I've got piled up on me already, I wouldn't notice it. Now get out. A-ah, ladies first.
- Mrs. Winston: Good morning, Miss Davis.
- Millie Davis: Good morning.
- Mrs. Winston: Oh, it is Miss Davis, isn't it?
- Millie Davis: It's Millie Davis.
- Mrs. Winston: But where is this little girl? Could we see her?
- Millie Davis: Oh, she isn't here right now. She's out riding with her father.
- Albert Sykes: Her father?
- Millie Davis: Yes. Flint McCullough.
- Albert Sykes: Didn't you say your name was Davis?
- Millie Davis: That's what I said, Mr Sykes. Millie Davis.
- Penny Davis: You hit the nail on the head. I got two friends in the mining business and they can't make enough to plug a rathole.
- Millie Davis: Penny, you run along and get dressed now, y'hear!
- [Mrs Winslow is trying to hide her amusement]
- Penny Davis: Flint says you folks are from the East?
- Albert Sykes: That's right. From Philadelphia.
- Penny Davis: Is that in Kansas? Or Missouri?
- 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.
- Millie Davis: [She is showing Mrs Winston the gravesite] If you could cry, Mrs Winston, now'd be the time.
- Mrs. Winston: Yes, now would be the time.
- Judd: You stay right here. In the morning we'll hide you out in one of the old mines, 'cos Flint's gonna be up here looking for you, for sure.
- 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.
- [Kiss, kiss]
