- Katharine Dougherty: [to their cook and all around house man] Toy, he was my FIRST husband, not my Number One husband.
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: If I was your age and not her father, I'd make you fight me for her, boy.
- Roger Henderson: I wish I could.
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: Hmmm?
- Jessica Poole: And that wild steer, mother. He egged him on. He dared father to ride him.
- Roger Henderson: He insisted on riding him. Why would I dare a man to ride a wild steer? I'm not out of my mind. He might have been killed.
- Katharine Dougherty: Oh, yesss!
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: Nonsense. I just didn't get settled on him, that's all. I'd like to try that again some time, Roger.
- Katharine Dougherty: Tomorrow?
- Jessica Poole: Oh, you are wicked. I know - you're testing again, aren't you?
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: Yes. Just testing.
- Jessica Poole: You aren't serious?
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: No. No, of course not.
- Jessica Poole: It's a cruel thing to do.
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: Oh, I know. I'm sorry. I get carried away.
- Roger Henderson: Mr. Savage, you know her well. She will come out of this won't she?
- Mackenzie Savage: Uh, not unchanged. She'll never be the same.
- Roger Henderson: Why?
- Mackenzie Savage: And the serpent said unto Eve, enjoy yourself - and she was never the same. It's not accurate but it's apt.
- Jessica Poole: But what about Roger?
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: Send him a postcard.
- Jessica Poole: Father, we're getting married Saturday.
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: You can always get married.
- Jessica Poole: But, what would I say to him?
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: Good-bye.
- Jessica Poole: Father!
- Jessica Poole: And then you deliberately gave him the wildest horse on the ranch.
- Roger Henderson: I didn't deliberately. He's not the wildest horse on the ranch. I can ride him. Every one of my hands can ride him. The Chinese cook can ride him.
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: It's a far, far better thing I do.
- Mackenzie Savage: Heh, heh, you really are a scoundrel, Biddeford.
- Mackenzie Savage: I don't mean to be clinical, but you're limping on the wrong leg.
- Biddeford 'Pogo' Poole: Heh, heh, you caught me unawares.
