- 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.
- Molly Culhane: Dinner's almost ready, Jessie.
- [Jessie sighs as she puts the milk on the table]
- Molly Culhane: Does anybody know where the men are?
- Jessie Macahan: Well I don't know where Luke or Josh are, but Orville and Uncle Zeb are out behind the barn.
- Molly Culhane: Again? What on earth do they do out there?
- Jessie Macahan: Well, they drink corn lickor and they tell lies.
- Molly Culhane: For three days running. Nobody can tell lies for that long.
- Jessie Macahan: Oh, they can and boy, do they tell some whoppers!
- Molly Culhane: Oh?
- [takes a bite]
- Molly Culhane: Just how to you happen to know that, young lady?
- Jessie Macahan: Well, every time I go out and milk the cow, I overhear them talking.
- Molly Culhane: Hm-hm. So that's why milking's been taking so long, eh? And I bet half those stories aren't even fit for a young lady's ears.
- Jessie Macahan: Maybe not, but they sure are fun!
- [takes a bite and wiggles her eyebrows]
