Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Yancy Derringer : Willy.

  Willy Quill : Hi, Yancy!

  Captain Tom : Hello, Yancy.

  Yancy Derringer : Tom.

  Captain Tom : When did you come aboard?

  Yancy Derringer : Cash's Crossing. Had to go down to New Orleans; thought a moonlight ride would be very nice. How's the new boiler?

  Captain Tom : Never you mind the new boiler. There's a hot poker game going on in the card room. All blacklegs, but an awful lot of money on the table.

  Yancy Derringer : Have to check to see if we can keep some of that money on board.

  Captain Tom : That's what I had in mind.

• Toby Cook : Hello, rebel.

  Yancy Derringer : Toby? Toby Cook.

  Toby Cook : That's right. Ah, would you mind pointing that Sharps somewhere else. The last time you pointed that at me, one of the bullets hit me, remember?

  Yancy Derringer : I remember.

• Yancy Derringer : When did you get out of prison?

  Toby Cook : Three days ago.

  Yancy Derringer : Did you have to use my boat for your momentous homecoming?

  Toby Cook : Yancy, that's only logical. Here you go bust up Gallatin Street, my home velvet touch, you shoot a hole in me, you get me sent to prison - naturally, I got to come home on your boat. I mighta got a chance to sink it.

• Toby Cook : Besides, the Sultana's a public carrier. That means you have to give passage even to an ex-convict.

  Yancy Derringer : That doesn't mean I have to allow you to fleece my passengers.

  Toby Cook : What, the game? Nothing, but blacklegs, gamblers. There's not an honest dealer at that table. Now you wouldn't stop a fellow from making a dishonest dollar would you?

  Yancy Derringer : All right, let's join them, but I feel like I'm throwing a lion into a den of Daniels.

• Captain Tom : Blast it, Yancy, we'll be late to the levee. We can't stop!

  Yancy Derringer : We're stopping. Pahoo...

  [Yancy and Pahoo leave the bridge] 

  Captain Tom : There's darn too many captains on this blasted teakettle.

• [Yancy enters the Sultana's card room and discovers the gamblers robbed, bound and gagged] 

  Yancy Derringer : Toby, I thought you said you could handle these boys.

  Toby Cook : The boys gave me no problem, it was the girls that handled me.

• Yancy Derringer : Gentlemen, Captain Tom will reimburse you for your losses.

  Toby Cook : I hate to be ungracious and say, "Thanks, sucker", so I'll just say thanks.

  Yancy Derringer : It's all right, Toby. The Sultana is always willing to reimburse anyone who is robbed aboard her. Even if the bandits were two big, strong girls.

  Toby Cook : They weren't very big, but they were very sincere.

• John Colton : Yancy, Secret Service reports that Toby Cook has been released from prison and is on his way here.

  Toby Cook : I'll see you soon, rebel. Mr. Administrator...

  John Colton : Wasn't that...

  Yancy Derringer , John Colton : Toby Cook.

  John Colton : Then he's already here. I want you to watch him. I don't want another Gallatin Street here, Yancy. Stay very close to him and report if anything happens.

  Yancy Derringer : I have a feeling Mr. Cook's going to remain very close to me.

• Elsie Tulliver : I feels so very foolish thinking you were a robber.

  Yancy Derringer : Robbers shouldn't bother you, Miss Elsie. That's why I came.

  Elsie Tulliver : Oh?

  Yancy Derringer : I'm looking for two robbers - young, blonde, female. I believe they're living with you.

  Elsie Tulliver : You're quite wrong, Yancy.

  Yancy Derringer : One of us is.

• Elsie Tulliver : Have you ever seen our orphanages?

  Yancy Derringer : No.

  Jody Barker : I have.

  Elsie Tulliver : It's unbelievable. Anyone can claim a child. They take them out and work them to death before they're ten, but I'm seeing that it won't happen to them or any others I can afford.

• [Colton is posing for a photograph by Mathew Brady] 

  Yancy Derringer : I didn't know you considered yourself one of the beauties of New Orleans.

  Yancy Derringer : I'm sorry, Toby.

  John Colton : And arrest that man for withholding evidence.

  Toby Cook : I'm sorry, Yancy.

  Yancy Derringer : This poker game over?

  Toby Cook : I guess so. Shall we start another?

• [last lines] 

  Toby Cook : Let's play another hand.

  Yancy Derringer : Tell you what, friend jailer. I'll put up all of my money.

  Toby Cook : And I'll put up all of my money.

  Jailer : What'll I put up?

  Yancy Derringer , Toby Cook : The keys!
