Have Gun - Will Travel (TV Series)

Three Sons (1958)

Richard Boone: Paladin

Quotes 

• Janie Bosworth : But where will you sleep?

  Paladin : If all goes well, I won't. Some gentlemen I know are planning an all-night card game.

• Paladin : This gun is the only thing you two understand. Vicious scum like you that send a mutilated cat to a young girl as a wedding present.

• Paladin : Why do you keep the rest of this house locked up?

  Rupe Bosworth : Why should I open it up? There's nothing but dust and sadness in these rooms. I'm an old man, Paladin, I've outlived two wives. A bad one and a good one.

• Rupe Bosworth : Ain't gonna be no harvest. You ever see 200 acres of SWEET PEAS in bloom?

  Paladin : No.

  Rupe Bosworth : They're worth looking at. Smell good too.

• Rupe Bosworth : I hate doing dishes so I buy a new set in town every week for a dollar and throw them away when there's dirty. Anything wrong with that?

  Paladin : No.

  [laughs heartily] 

  Paladin : No, nothing at all.

• Paladin : We have 200 acres of SWEET PEAS to prove or disprove Mr Bosworth's sanity. Thirty years of hard work have made Rupert financially independent. He doesn't need a money crop on the land. And I don't know how anyone could look at those 200 acres of colour and beauty and say it was a foolish thing to do.

• Paladin : His kitchen was neat, clean, a great deal more so than Mr Daggett's office.

  Roy Daggett : I OBJECT!

• Rupe Bosworth : John, he's awfully sly.

  Paladin : Why'd you put him off the place?

  Rupe Bosworth : Huh! 'Cos. Another smart idea of John's. He took out fire insurance on the house. Ah. Let Hank tell you, he knows.

• Paladin : Sheriff, you better get this one to the Doctor's office. His lawyer will tell you what happened. I'll come around later and tell you the truth.

• Rupe Bosworth : Say, you might go out by way of the west quarter. Take a look at the crop.

  Paladin : You mean, see if it's ready for harvest?

  Rupe Bosworth : Ain't gonna be no harvest. You ever see 200 acres of Sweet Peas in bloom?

  Paladin : No.

  Rupe Bosworth : They're worth looking at. Smell good too.
