Quotes
-
Bonnie Rayburn : [Discussing the pet calf] That's really wonderful. You got him to drink from the bottle.
Mitch Robbins : Yeah, thank God, 'cause my nipples were killing me.
-
Bonnie Rayburn : [explaining why she broke up with her ex] We had different needs. I needed him to treat me decently and get a job, and he needed to empty my bank account and leave.

Mitch Robbins : [later that night, at the dance] You're wrong, Ed, I'm telling you, it was not a stupid thing to say.
Ed Furillo : It WAS. She says, "thanks", and you say, "I'm married."?
Mitch Robbins : Yeah! I don't want any... false flirtings.
Ed Furillo : False flirtings.
Mitch Robbins : Mm-hmm!
Ed Furillo : Well, what if you're like me? What if you don't encourage them, and they still come after you?
Mitch Robbins : It doesn't happen. See, women need a reason to have sex, men just need a place.
Bonnie Rayburn : [walking by] Good night! I'm going to bed.
Mitch Robbins : [smiling widely at her] Good night! Sleep tight.
[Bonnie smiles and waves]
Ed Furillo : [to Mitch] That was flirting.
Mitch Robbins : No, that was... politeness. That was "have a pleasant and restful evening."
Ed Furillo : No, that was "I like your ass. Can I wear it as a hat?"

Mitch Robbins : [Jeff and T.R. have been intimidating Bonnie, Mitch tries to step in] Bonnie, you want to come ropin' with us?
Bonnie Rayburn : Yes, I'd...
Jeff : [Jeff and T.R. step in front of her] No, that's all right, Bonnie's talking with us, friend.
T.R. : She's fine right here.
Mitch Robbins : [as Phil and Ed approach] Listen, guys, what are you doing, huh? This isn't exactly nineties behavior, I've gotta be honest with ya.
Jeff : ...You stepped on my foot.
Ed Furillo : He did not, you horse's ass.
Jeff : You want a piece of this?
Ed Furillo : Any time, Zeke.
Jeff : How about right now, 'Stubby'?
Ed Furillo : Fine!
Curly : [makes his introduction, by roping Jeff from horseback and choking him to the fence. He enters the corral and addresses Bonnie] This man owes you an apology.
Mitch Robbins : I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it.
Curly : Not you... him.
[motioning to Jeff]
Jeff : [refusing] Uh-uh. No.
[Curly pulls a huge knife and throws it at Jeff, landing within an inch of his crotch]
Jeff : Ahhhh!
[to Bonnie]
Jeff : I'm sorry, ma'am, that'll never happen again!
Mitch Robbins : Yeah, see that it doesn't!
[Curly glares at him]
Mitch Robbins : I'm sorry, I thought that we were... on the same... you're doin' fine!
Curly : [walks up to Jeff and retrieves his knife] You guys were drinkin'... don't let it happen again.
[Jeff agrees violently. Curly uses his knife to raise his hat to Bonnie]
Curly : Ma'am...
[and departs. The two cowboys make a hasty exit in the opposite direction]
Mitch Robbins : Did you see that guy? That is the toughest man I've ever seen in my life!
[to Bonnie]
Mitch Robbins : Did you see how leathery he was? He was like a saddlebag with eyes!
Bonnie Rayburn : Listen, it took a lot of courage to do what you did. Thank you.
Mitch Robbins : [They begin to smile and eye each other, then Mitch comes to his senses] I'm married.

Bonnie Rayburn : [listening to the guys talk baseball] Ugh, baseball.
Ed Furillo : You've got something against baseball?
Bonnie Rayburn : It's just I used to live with a guy who was like a baseball encyclopedia and I just got flashes.
Phil Berquist : You broke up with him 'cause of baseball?
Bonnie Rayburn : Uh, no, we had different needs. I needed him to treat me decently and get a job, and he needed to empty my bank account and leave.
Mitch : Ouch.
Phil Berquist : So, do you hate baseball?
Bonnie Rayburn : No, I like baseball. I just never understood how you guys could spend so much time discussing it. I mean, I've been to games, but I don't memorize who played third base for Pittsburgh in 1960.
Mitch : Don Hoak.
Ed Furillo , Phil Berquist : Don Hoak!
Mitch : Beat you.
Bonnie Rayburn : See, that's exactly what I mean.
Phil Berquist : So, what do you and your friends talk about out there?
Bonnie Rayburn : Well, real life. Relationships. Are they working? Are they not? Who's she seeing? Is that working?
Ed Furillo : No contest. We win.
Bonnie Rayburn : Why?
Ed Furillo : Honey, if that were as interesting as baseball, they'd have cards for it and sell it with gum.
