Quotes 

• Alex McNamara : It's a fair gamble, especially if the house will take off the limit.

  Cherry Malotte : There's no limit here. Anything you can win, you can collect.

• Alex McNamara : You promised to show me around, remember?

  Cherry Malotte : I haven't forgotten. Some other time.

• Alex McNamara : Maybe you'd better slip upstairs and sip a warm lemonade before you break out in a rash of righteousness.

• Alex McNamara : [after Glennister punches out a man that was about to hit McNamara with a chair]  Thanks Glennister, that's one I owe you.

  Glennister : Don't mention it. I hope I didn't make a mistake.

  Alex McNamara : Meaning... you've got an idea I might've had it coming to me?

  Glennister : There's just a chance the whole town *could* be wrong.

• Cherry Malotte : Now that we're old friends, you may call me Miss Malotte - if you'd rather.

  Alex McNamara : Still running cold. When comes the thaw?

  Cherry Malotte : It's more fun this way.

• Helen Chester : I may have more respect for Roy Glennister than you have.

  Alex McNamara : Oh, yes, of course. He's a big handsome lad, isn't he? I hope you're not softenin' up like a school kid on a hayride.

• Cherry Malotte : [Awaiting the judge in Glennister and Dextry's hearing]  Now that we are old friends you may call me Miss Malotte... if you'd rather.

  Alex McNamara : Still running cold! When comes the thaw?

  Cherry Malotte : It's more fun this way. Besides, the line forms in back of the Bronco Kid. Mr. Farrow... Mr. McNamara.

  Alex McNamara : Hiya, Farrow.

  [Eyes the Bronco Kid whittling a matchstick with a switchblade knife] 

  Alex McNamara : Something you got for Christmas?

  Bronco Kid Farrow : Yeah, I always carry it. I never know when I'm gonna run into a piece'a cheese.
