Dr. Bill Canavan: [referring to a sick McCool] The germ hasn't been found that can stop him.

Dr. Bill Canavan: [Referring to the many soldiers in sick bay] The Moro that struck Captain Manning down struck them down too, but not with a bolo. They're down with a disease medicine can't cure.
Capt. Steve Hartley: They'll be all right when they learn how to use a gun, when they're properly drilled!
Dr. Bill Canavan: The trouble is that you're trying to drill things into them when you should be drilling things out of them. What good's a gun when your finger's so paralyzed with fright that you can't pull a trigger?


--Gary Cooper (as Dr. Bill Canavan) in The Real Glory

Dr. Bill Canavan: [to Captain Hartley, who is going blind] Fact is you're afraid to live. That's much worse than being afraid to die!

Dusty Rivers: Down where I come from we don't jump to conclusions. It's liable to be a feller's last jump.

Dusty Rivers: I was pinned under a log so tight I was breathin' on the installment plan.

Dusty Rivers: You know, I-I kinda gotta feelin' that I could make things easier for ya if you'd let me.
April Logan: You're a grand person, Dusty, but there ain't anything anyone can do for me.
Dusty Rivers: Sure there is. Come to Texas with me. You're the loveliest and gentlest lady I've ever known.

Frank Flannagan: [on knowing about his numerous conquests] Aren't you a little too young for that?
Ariane Chavasse: I was about to ask you a similar question. Aren't you a little too old for that?
Frank Flannagan: That hurts! First you save a man's life, then you stab him. Is that kind?


--Gary Cooper (as Frank Flannagan) in Love in the Afternoon

Frank Flannagan: Everything about you is perfect.
Ariane Chavasse: I'm too thin! And my ears stick out, and my teeth are crooked and my neck's much too long.
Frank Flannagan: Maybe so, but I love the way it all hangs together.
[they kiss]

Gideon Patch: I have to ask you to trust me just for a few days until the inquiry.
John Sands: Give me one reason. Why should I, Captain?
Gideon Patch: You've trusted me already. When you were dangling on the end of a rope over the side of the Mary Deare, you trusted me!
John Sands: I haven't forgotten.
Gideon Patch: Well, now I'm on the end of a rope. You can haul me in or let me drown!
Gideon Patch: [after a long silence] Do I have to beg, Mr. Sands?

Gideon Patch: I'm asking you to do something for me as one man to another!
