Gail Davis: Annie Oakley

Quotes 

• Annie Oakley : [Voiceover]  Three weeks later, quite a crowd was gathered to greet Priscilla Bishop. Everyone was guessing what she'd be like. But to look at Lofty that day, a person would have thought Jenny Lind was coming in on the stage.

• Annie Oakley : [Voiceover]  Sometimes a Sheriff's niece has to follow a trail of killers, and dangerous men. And a girl has to be prepared for anything. But there are some varmints that are harder to track. And even a bigger problem, like my brother, Tagg... Well?

  Tagg Oakley : Hi, Annie.

  Annie Oakley : Don't you 'hi Annie' me. I've been chasing you for the past two miles. Now hand over that report card.

  Tagg Oakley : Aw, Sis.

• Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : [He's been enjoying a soak and swim in Canyon Lake]  Let me get my clothes on.

  Annie Oakley : Okay, Lofty... Well, that certainly took you long enough. I thought it was supposed to be women that were the slow ones.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : You'd have trouble dressing too if you had someone taking potshots at you.

• Annie Oakley : Why, Lofty, I really declare. In that get-up you look almost like a gentleman.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : All right, go ahead and kid. It isn't every day that a young gal comes to Diablo. You know, come to think of it, after the stage comes in, you might not rule the beauty roost around here any more. Priscilla's a mighty pretty name.

• Annie Oakley : What are facts and what makes sense aren't always true, Priscilla. The truth is sometimes hard to find.

• Priscilla Bishop : I have a chance to help the Indians. No one else is doing it.

  Annie Oakley : That's where you're wrong, Priscilla. The United States Government realises what a great injustice has been done, and they're doing everything they can to help them, with money, land, medical care, and food. They're doing much more than you could ever hope to do.

  Priscilla Bishop : But Mr Kenyon said...

  Annie Oakley : He told you wrong. Everything I've said can be proved. You can check with the Indian agent or the tribes themselves.
