Lije Evans:
I guess we'll have to fight, Dick.

Mrs. McBee:

Sen. William J. Tadlock:
We're mere men, but a man's nature is enormous. It contains both the great and the small. Even the meanest of us can be as large as this whole continent.

Dick Summers: Yeah, my wife.
Brownie Evans: I'm sorry. It's just about the nicest possession I ever seen.

Dick Summers: Whiskey.
Sen. William J. Tadlock: Whiskey?
Lije Evans: Get 'em liquored up and maybe we could sneak off.
Dick Summers: You got a choice: you could give it to 'em or they'll take it. I agree that the first one might be a little dangerous, but the second one could prove fatal.
