Penelope Worth: Thee are a liar.
[at the First Day meeting, Nelson is talking with Penny; Quirt pulls him aside]
Quirt Evans: This'll sound like I'm buttin' into your business - and I am! And you oughta give me a watch with a gold case for doin' it. You dim-witted nail-bender, marry that girl!
Nelson: Marry her? Why I assure you my intentions... well she knows how I feel.
Quirt Evans: How would she know? Stop yammerin' about shooin' horses - that's no way to talk to a girl. Talk to her about HER. And marry her... and do it quick!

Randy McCall: Listen to this: "And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts of valor, slew two men of Moab and went down and slew three lions in the midst of a pit in the time of snow."
Randy McCall: [to Quirt] Whew, three lions!
Randy McCall: [continues reading] "And Benaiah slew an Egyptian who had a sword. He took away his sword and slew him with a staff... " I guess that must mean a club. Oh, brother, this is good writing!
