• Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers : I've been on the train four days, and it was a little dusty coming in from town. Could I have a bath?

  Aggie Gates : On Thursday?

• Aggie Gates : Well, I don't reckon you'll be getting' drunk Saturday nights, 'n settin' fire to the barn. I'll try ya for a month.

• Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers : You're so good to me.

  Aggie Gates : That ain't it. I just don't want a fallen woman on my hands.

• Mrs. Vera Collins : I know you, Aggie. You come here to get my Pat riled up over that gal. You've been wantin' to throw her at him ever since she got here.

  Aggie Gates : I'm surprised at you, Vera. Pat has his poor ailing ma to take care of. Besides, he's too young to get married. I'll bet that boy ain't a day over 35.

• Pat Collins : You know somethin,' Aggie. I got a feelin' it ain't gonna be safe to spit on the sidewalk.

  Aggie Gates : You're right.

• Aggie Gates : Um, did you ever think of looking for a husband?

  Lucretia 'Lu' Rogers : A husband?

  Aggie Gates : You know, one of them tall critters, supposed to take care of us women.

• Aggie Gates : Between statehood and motherhood you don't have much chance for yourself, do ya?

• Pat Collins : Well Aggie, all I can say is, you sure do have fine taste in ranch hands.

  Aggie Gates : Thank you, Pat.

• Pat Collins : Who's that?

  Aggie Gates : My new ranch hand.

  Pat Collins : Uh, no offense, Aggie, but, the... there's somethin' about that shape that just don't seem right... Huh, wears his hair mighty long, what is he, a Mormon or somethin'?

  Aggie Gates : Ain't a Mormon and ain't a he. I got me a lady ranch hand.

  Pat Collins : Oh, well, that clears that up.
