- Rusty Coburn: I sure let the cat out of the bag to Lanning, didn't I.
- Roy Rogers: Whatever got into you poppin' off like that? I thought you were wise.
- Rusty Coburn: I know'd I shouldn't of had them wisdom teeth pulled out.
- Rose: He feels sure his men will catch Arizona Jack this time.
- George Lanning: Oh, he couldn't catch flies!
- Captain Grover Harrison: Keep your eye open for an American girl, about 20, well-dressed. She's supposed to be headed for the border - and we have routine orders to detain and hold her. That's all.
- Rusty Coburn: About 20, you say?
- Captain Grover Harrison: Yeah.
- Rusty Coburn: That'll be a pleasure.
- Rusty Coburn: There ain't no long distance animal like a good mule.
- Tommy Ward: That mule must be half jack rabbit.
- Agitator: He's laughing at you! Teddy Roosevelt, the eastern millionaire, out to rule the country. That's why he played cowboy. That's why he played soldier. Now he's playing politician.
- Tommy Ward: Wait a minute, we served under Colonel Roosevelt and we know him and he's the greatest man alive today.
- Agitator: What's he done to prove it? Rounding up a bunch of hoodlums, the rough riders, and then following 'em up San Juan Hill.
- [Roy punches the Agitator in the face]
- Captain Grover Harrison: The Border Patrol needs good men. But, let me warn you. This is not the Army - and you're not under the eyes of an officer all the time. Therefore, you'll be held responsible for your own discipline while on duty.
- Roy Rogers: The hotel keeper tells me you'd like to hire a guide.
- Dorothy Blair: Why, yes.
- Roy Rogers: Where do you want to go to?
- Dorothy Blair: Across the border. You see, there's some sort of a silly rule about a passport and I - I lost mine. You understand?
- Roy Rogers: What would you do if you run into a Border Patrolman?
- Dorothy Blair: Oh, I'd find some way to handle him. You see, they're only interested in smugglers and people of that sort. Not somebody like me.
- Roy Rogers: But, they are. In fact, they have orders to detain you.
- Dorothy Blair: How do you know? Why, you're not a...
- Roy Rogers: [seeing Dorothy at the Cantina] Young American girl, about 20.
- Tommy Ward: To be detained and held.
- Rusty Coburn: You detain her and I'll hold her.
- Mexican Fortune-Teller: Tell your fortunes boys?
- Tommy Ward: Sure. Tell us about the future. We know all about the past.
- Roy Rogers: [singing] Ridin' down the trail, While I listen to the coyotes wail, It's a thrill to be where a man is free, And he's ridin' down the trail, Yo-de-lo-de-o-lo-de-o...
- Rusty Coburn: Looks like the scraps she had ain't taught her no manners, yet! She's *still* givin' orders.
- Roy Rogers: [singing] Ridin' days are happy days, On the rollin' plains, Swayin' in the saddle all day long, In my heart I find a song, Here on the range with you, Clouds of gray they fade away, And it never rains, The sun is always shinin' from above, And I find the life I love, Here on the range with you...
- Roy Rogers: Listen, lady, chances are that none of us will get out of here alive. Who are you and what are doing down here, any way?
- Dorothy Blair: Very clever, aren't you. Trying to scare me into telling you so you can wire my father and have him come down here and take me home!
- Roy Rogers: The trouble with you is - you've been readin' the wrong kind of novels.
- Rusty Coburn: And this happens to be a true story.
- Dorothy Blair: Well, if I have to go with you, let's get it over with.
- Roy Rogers: I'm sorry, Miss...
- Dorothy Blair: What? Again? You're the sorriest thing I've seen since I left Denver.
- Roy Rogers: Now we can go after those fake Mexicans across the border.
- Rusty Coburn: And they won't fool us, this time.
- Roy Rogers: Yeah, we'll be lookin' for Americans in Mexican outfits.
- Roy Rogers: Just how well do you know this man, Lanning?
- Dorothy Blair: Well, you don't think I'd come down here all the way to Mexico to marry a stranger do you?
- Roy Rogers: You're about the only girl in the whole world who would do a thing like that.
- Dorothy Blair: Well, all right. George Lanning is American, white, and over 21 - and a very successful engineer.
- Rusty Coburn: What's the idea of knockin' Lanning? You ain't got a Chinaman's chance, Roy. She's as good as hitched to him, right now.
- Roy Rogers: Would you like to make a little bet on that?
- George Lanning: But, Mr. Blair, it isn't my fault your daughter ran away.
- Mr. Blair: It is your fault! You made love to her when you were with us in Denver.
