Paul Brinegar: Wishbone

Quotes 

• Wishbone : What is this anyway? A celebration or a funeral?

  Rowdy Yates : What are we celebrating?

  Wishbone : Well! A pocketful of money, a month with nothing to do, and nine more saloons we haven't been in yet.

  Pete Nolan : Nine saloons will take care of the money. We'll still have a month with nothing to do.

• Gil Favor : Oh, you're crazy, what do you know about taking care of little girls?

  Wishbone : It can't be any rougher than riding herd on a bunch of beeves.

• Gil Favor : Oh, Wish, would you pound some sense into him?

  Wishbone : Well, it don't seem right to leave him there if we can help him.

  Pete Nolan : And we can!

  Gil Favor : Oh sure! Gun your way in and burst him out? Can't you get in through your thick heads, this isn't Texas, it's Phil-a-del-phia!

  Pete Nolan : And you're beginning to fit in pretty good. It's maybe just as well you're staying here, because I never want to work for you again!

• Wishbone : Of course they miss you.

  Eleanor Bradley : They do?

  Wishbone : Well, being bossed by their Pa is one thing, but, well, girls need a woman's hand, don't you think?
