- Dan Heywood: You're talking like a real brass collar, Son. Like you owned the railroad or something.
- Martin Ellison: I do.
- Tagg Oakley: Aw, let me go with you, Annie.
- Annie Oakley: I'm sorry, Tagg. Maybe next time.
- Tagg Oakley: You always say that. You'd think I was a kid or something.
- Martin Ellison: Have you got a replacement for him yet?
- Dan Heywood: No. The job's not very popular these days.
- Annie Oakley: Hey, you're kidding.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: What's going on here?
- Annie Oakley: Just family secrets, Lofty.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: Family secrets, my eye.
- Annie Oakley: Well, how'd you know?
- [To Tagg]
- Annie Oakley: And, as for you, young man, if you want to keep that secret of yours, you'd better toe the mark or I'll wallop you 'til you won't be able to sit a saddle.
- Annie Oakley: It was the judgement of men like Dan and your father that built this railway, Mr Ellison.
- Martin Ellison: Times have changed, Miss Oakley. Progress is the word now. Ideas have changed.
- Dan Heywood: Meaning our rails are a little rusty, hey, Martin.
- Martin Ellison: Business is business, Dan. I have the company to think of.
- Martin Ellison: I'll get my gun and meet you in the morning.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: Don't shoot yourself, General.
- Dan Heywood: I'm afraid Mr Ellison has a short memory.
- Martin Ellison: Meaning what?
- Martin Ellison: Just that you had throttle fever pretty bad too, Martin. When you were about Tagg's age, I let you do the very same thing. Including turning the blow off valve.
- Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig: That was before you grew up and let that brass collar go to your head, Champ...
- Annie Oakley: Can't you see what he means, Dan. It's progress.
