Phoebe Titus
- Phoebe Titus: Doggone it, Peter. If this is what its like to be in love, I'm glad I'm only going to love but once.
- Phoebe Titus: Now sometime before morning, I'm going to let off both barrels of this shotgun right at you. I don't know just what time it'll happen... whenever my finger gets to itching too much. But you can depend on it. You're gonna have a double hole blown clear through you. Maybe ten minutes, maybe two hours. All you have to do is sit comfortable until I think it's the right time.
- Peter Muncie: Who said I was goin'?
- Phoebe Titus: You'll go.
- Peter Muncie: Yes, I'll go. Because a man in love with a woman don't have his right mind.
- Phoebe Titus: Now, if I don't start seeing my money, I'm going to shoot.
- Lazarus Ward: There will be no killin' in my place.
- Phoebe Titus: Since when, since this morning? Alright, put that money on the table or get ready to feel lead.
- Phoebe Titus: I need some needles and another sack of flour for those dull-darn pies.
- Solomon Warner: Those dull-darn pies are makin' you a good livin'!
- Phoebe Titus: There are better ways than that to get ahead. How much are your needles?
- Solomon Warner: A quarter a piece.
- Phoebe Titus: Twenty-five cents! Why, you ole Scotchman! What do you have to do? Find them in a haystack?
- Phoebe Titus: I started this trouble for you, started by talking like a darned old woman.
- Peter Muncie: Oh, straighten up. You're supposed to be the man around here.
- Phoebe Titus: Not any more.
- Peter Muncie: I don't like him.
- Phoebe Titus: How do you know? You never met him before.
- Peter Muncie: I've got a good nose.
- Phoebe Titus: He happens to be something you'll never be - a gentleman.
- Peter Muncie: He happens to be a sweet lookin' dude and a woman that would pay any heed to him ought to have her her head looked into!
- Phoebe Titus: Oh, I see. In other words you think I'm just plumb crazy!
- Phoebe Titus: Mr. Oury, am I hearing you right? Are you talking about giving Arizona back to the Indians?
- Grant Oury: That's one way of saying it, Phoebe.
- Judge Bogardus: Like Oury says, it's better to leave what we built here than get our bones picked clean by buzzards.
- Phoebe Titus: What did you ever build?
- Phoebe Titus: Ward, you've got an idea you run this town, so I'll set you right about one thing. I've got my livestock and a pie business to take care of. That don't leave me much time for chasin' thieves! Keep your men away from my place or I'll double-load this gun and blow a whole in you that they could drive a team of mules through.
- Peter Muncie: A wagon train come in headin' for California and I'm joinin' up with it.
- Phoebe Titus: When?
- Peter Muncie: Sundown.
- Phoebe Titus: Well, sundown is a good time to leave. Indians don't hanker much for night fightin'.
- Phoebe Titus: Are you asking me to marry you?
- Peter Muncie: Around about. Is there still something you don't like about me?
- Phoebe Titus: No, it's not that. If there wasn't something I didn't like about a man, I couldn't stand the sight of him.
