- John Devlin: And speaking of politics, where we're going, there are only two parties: the quick and the dead.
- Sandy Poli: That's papa! He's shooting at us!
- John Devlin: All I want to know is: do you take after your papa or mama?
- Sandy Poli: Papa always wants to shoot things out. He has no more sense than you have. I do hope he doesn't kill us. He'd never get over it.
- John Devlin: Well, I'd feel kind of regretful about it myself.
- 'Jersey' Thomas: If you want to get back to your crocheting girls, *I'll* look after Mr. Devlin. How about a couple of eggs for Mr. Devlin, Nora?
- Nora: Ain't got no eggs, the girls ate 'em all up.
- 'Jersey' Thomas: But we grow them right outside the door, if you've got to have them.
- John Devlin: Well I'm an old egg rustler.
- 'Jersey' Thomas: No fun rustling alone. Did I say rustling? I meant... *rustling*...
- Sandy Poli: Papa says you are a gun-totin', high-bindin' tinhorn gambler.
- John Devlin: Well Papa shouldn't talk like that in front of the children.
