Quotes 

• Millie Davis : Perfume! From Paris, France!

  Flint McCullough : By way of St Joe, Missouri. Now the lady told me it was a sure man catcher.

  Millie Davis : Oh, I could use a barrel of it.

• Millie Davis : Well, there's a well right outside your shack.

  Judd : Water is for bathing. Who told you?

• Millie Davis : Oh, Flint. You've been missed around here. We figured on the calendar this would be about the time of year you'd be through here.

  Flint McCullough : Oh.

  Penny Davis : I had it figured for next week. I was going to take a bath.

• Mrs. Winston : Good morning, Miss Davis.

  Millie Davis : Good morning.

  Mrs. Winston : Oh, it is Miss Davis, isn't it?

  Millie Davis : It's Millie Davis.

• Mrs. Winston : But where is this little girl? Could we see her?

  Millie Davis : Oh, she isn't here right now. She's out riding with her father.

  Albert Sykes : Her father?

  Millie Davis : Yes. Flint McCullough.

  Albert Sykes : Didn't you say your name was Davis?

  Millie Davis : That's what I said, Mr Sykes. Millie Davis.

• Penny Davis : You hit the nail on the head. I got two friends in the mining business and they can't make enough to plug a rathole.

  Millie Davis : Penny, you run along and get dressed now, y'hear!

  [Mrs Winslow is trying to hide her amusement] 

  Penny Davis : Flint says you folks are from the East?

  Albert Sykes : That's right. From Philadelphia.

  Penny Davis : Is that in Kansas? Or Missouri?

• Mrs. Winston : Penny seems quite attached to you.

  Flint McCullough : Penny, Millie and I are old friends.

  Albert Sykes : To say the least.

  Flint McCullough : I always drop in on them whenever I'm in the territory.

  Albert Sykes : It seems to me, young man, that you're taking your fatherhood rather lightly.

  Flint McCullough : FATHER?

  Millie Davis : I know you told me not to say anything. But, well, this morning it just blurted out.

  Flint McCullough : You mean, you told these people that I was...

  Millie Davis : I didn't mean to but- our secret's out.

  Flint McCullough : Well, let's not spread it too far.

• Millie Davis : You'd better fix him a drink. He's just become a father.

  Pete Bailey : Congratulations!

  Flint McCullough : Start explaining, Millie, and it better be good.

• Millie Davis : [She is showing Mrs Winston the gravesite]  If you could cry, Mrs Winston, now'd be the time.

  Mrs. Winston : Yes, now would be the time.

• Millie Davis : It's Penny.

  Flint McCullough : Come over here and tell me all about it.

  [He draws her onto her lap as they sit on the leather buttomed sofa] 

  Millie Davis : Haven't you heard her? She sounds like a mule-skinner. She talks like one. She thinks like one too.

  Flint McCullough : She's just a baby. She'll grow out of it.

  Millie Davis : I didn't mind when she was a baby. But, Flint, she's 8 years old now and she's never even been to school.

• Flint McCullough : Just waiting for the right fellow to come along?

  Millie Davis : No, no. He's come. I'm still waiting. Guess I always will be.

  Flint McCullough : Millie, if things were different. If I were just settled. Believe me, you wouldn't have to wait any longer.

  Millie Davis : Well, it's nice being almost proposed to anyway.

  Flint McCullough : Maybe I'll change oneday.

  Millie Davis : No, I don't think so, Flint. Not 'til there are no more wagon trains, no more rivers to cross, no more mountains to climb.

  Flint McCullough : Right now, there's not a mountain or river in sight.
