Ali Hakim: I wanted to marry her when I saw the moonlight shining on the barrel of her father's shotgun.
Curly: If she liked me any more, she'd sic the dogs on me.
Ado Annie Carnes: Sometimes there seems like times that men ain't got no need for women. Girl: There's sometimes women ain't got no need for men. Ado Annie Carnes: Yeah, but who wants to be dead?
Will Parker: Now that I got that fifty dollars, you name the date. Ado Annie Carnes: August 15th. Will Parker: Why August 15th? Ado Annie Carnes: Because that was the first day I'se kissed! Will Parker: Oh was it? I didn't remember that! Ado Annie Carnes: You wasn't there.
Laurey: Curly! You're sittin' on the stove! Curly: Yeouch! (Jumps up, feels the stove) Cold as a hunk of ice. Laurey: Wish it would've burned a hole in your pants.
Will Parker: I don't know what to make of you! You're too purty to be a skunk! Too thin to be a snake! To little to be a man, and too big to be a mouse! I reckon you're a rat! Ali Hakim: That's logical.
Curly: (to Jud) How did you get to be the way you air (are) anyhow? A-sittin' up here in this filthy hole (referring to the smokehouse) ? Why don't you do something healthy once in a while, instead of staying shut up here, a-crawlin' and a-festerin'?
Ado Annie Carnes: He called me his Persian kitten! Carnes: what'd you call her that for? Ali Hakim: Ohh - I don't remember... Ado Annie Carnes: I do! He said I's like a Persian kitten cause they is the cats with the soft round tails! Carnes: (cocking his gun) That's enough. In this country that better be a proposal of marriage.
Ali Hakim: You'd hardly ever see your daughter no more! Carnes: That'd be all right. Just take care of her, son.
Aunt Eller Murphy: (singing) I'd like to say a word for the cowboys. Carnes: Oh, you would, would you? Aunt Eller Murphy: The road he treads is difficult and stony. He rides for days on end with just a pony for a friend... Ado Annie: I sure am feelin' sorry for the pony!
Aunt Eller Murphy: (with gun in hand) SING! SING! C'mon now! Sing!
Curly: (singing) There's a bright golden haze on the meadow, There's a bright golden haze on the meadow. The corn is as high as a elephant's eye, And it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky. Oh, what a beautiful mornin', Oh, what a beautiful day! I got a beautiful feelin' Everything's goin' my way.
Ali Hakim: It's a wonderful thing to be married. I got a brother in Persia got six wives. Ado Annie Carnes: Six wives all at once? Will Parker: Why, sure. That's the way they do in them countries. Ali Hakim: Not always; I got a brother in Persia only got one wife. He's a bachelor.
