Michael Burns: Barnaby West

Quotes 

• Barnaby West : It wouldn't hurt to do that one little thing, would it?

  Bill Hawks : Yes, it would.

  Nancy Styles : So that's the way it's going to be.

  Bill Hawks : Yes, young lady. That's the way it's going to be. We take orders from Chris Hale and we're not about to take any from you.

• Christopher Hale : Well, Barney, all I'm trying to do is make sure she's worthy of your affection, that's all.

  Barnaby West : No, it isn't all. You're doing everything you can to make her look bad. Well, it isn't going to work. We're going to get married anyway.

  Christopher Hale : No, you're not Not now.

  Christopher Hale : What right have you got to stop me? You're not my father.

  Christopher Hale : I'm responsible for you.

  Barnaby West : Not any more you're not. Not any more.

• Christopher Hale : You think I'm a tyrant too?

  Barnaby West : It doesn't seem to be bothering any of you that she hasn't had one single thing to eat all day.

  Christopher Hale : She hasn't done anything to earn it either.

  Barnaby West : Well, she's just a girl, Mr Chris.

  Christopher Hale : Is there any reason I should take orders from her?

  Barnaby West : There must be some other way to handle her. It's cruel to starve her like this.

  Christopher Hale : I'd say she was starving herself, wouldn't you?

• Barnaby West : I've done a lot of things I don't understand. I defied him. Run away. Now I even made him think I was dead,

• Phineas : St Joseph?

  Barnaby West : They're playing tricks on us.

  Barnaby West : No, we're not. you can reach him from Cheyenne. Haven't you heard of the telegraph?

  Homer : How're they're gonna send a big bunch of money down that little biity wire? Now answer me that.

• Nancy Styles : Barney, can you make it look like we rode into the quicksand? Well then , that's it. If they think that we did, then they'll give up the search.

  Barnaby West : Yeah, but they'll probably think we're dead.

  Nancy Styles : Well, that won't make any difference. You'll never see them again anyway.

• Barnaby West : I'll walk you back to your wagon. If that's all right.

  Nancy Styles : Why? Don't you think I can make it there alone either?

  Barnaby West : Well, no. I haven't seen much of you this whole trip.

  Nancy Styles : And you'll be seeing a lot less of me from now on.

• Christopher Hale : Seems to be me she's a little headstrong. I think somebody should keep an eye on her, see that she doesn't do anything foolish. I was kinda hoping I could depend on you to do that. 'Cause if you'd rather not...

  Barnaby West : Oh, no, no, no. I'd be glad to. Well, I mean, anything you say, Mr Chris. Well, after al you are the wagon master. Well, he does give the orders, doesn't he? Well, anyway, I bet she's not a day over eighteen.

• Phineas : Well, Homer, my boy, fortune has smiled upon us at last. We're footsore travellers who would beg of you a crumb of food for our sadly neglected stomachs.

  Barnaby West : Funny way to beg, with guns.
