Quotes 

• Luke Macahan : And who'd you say you were marryin'?

  Hillary Gant : I figure that's none o' your business.

  Luke Macahan : I figure I have a right to know.

  Hillary Gant : A right? I'd like to know just what right after a whole year!

  Luke Macahan : That's not fair, Hillary. I wrote you.

  Hillary Gant : Oh, I'd forgotten, you certainly did. You certainly did. Two whole letters. Why Luke, I hope you didn't get writers cramp from all that penmanship!

• Luke Macahan : All right, he's a big man, you don't have to build him up to me.

  Hillary Gant : Build him up? Why, the nerve. Yes, Clay Hollingsworth is a big man. In fact, he could make two of you with change left over.

• Luke Macahan : Well, thanks a lot, mister. But I wanna tell you something: I still think 75 cents is an awful lot o' money.

  Ferryman : Well, you know you're right son, it's highway robbery, I ought to be ashamed of myself. I'll tell you what, you keep your money.

  Luke Macahan : What?

  Ferryman : No, you keep your money. I tell ya, I've had more entertainment from you two than I've had in the last six months.

  [laughs] 

  Ferryman : Well now, you have good luck with that lil' lady. 'Cause I think it sounds to me like you're gonna need it. She's a handful!

  [more laughter] 

• Hillary Gant : [breaking off a passionate kiss]  Oh Luke, I meant it when I said we weren't going to be livin' in sin.

  Luke Macahan : I know you did, and I respect you for it.

  [moves in to kiss her again, bus she shakes her head] 

  Luke Macahan : We're not gonna live there, maybe we can just visit now and then.

  Hillary Gant : Oh, Luke.
