Quotes 

  • Vern Haskell : It strikes me real unfair, ma'am.

    Altar Keane : I knew you would.

  • Altar Keane : Sometimes I like a man who doesn't believe what a woman tells him.

    Altar Keane : What do you think I was? A pipe dream?

  • Vern Haskell : [the sheriff has three crooked politicians locked in one cell and Frenchy locked in another cell. Vern is asked which cell he wants to be in. He chooses to cell with Frenchy]  Sure, give me an outlaw to these thieves anytime. At least he takes his chances in the open.

  • [first lines] 

    Vern Haskell : [after the opening title song ends with the line, "the old, old story of hate, murder, and revenge," breaking away from a kiss]  There's nothing like that to make a man feel agreeable.

    Vern Haskell : Chuck-a-Luck?

  • Vern Haskell : It could've been anybody who came to Chuck-A-Luck to hide behind your skirts. Chuck-A-Luck!

  • Vern Haskell : Look around you Altar Keane. What do you see in there? A bedroom or a morgue?
