Cherry de Longpre : Well, after all, it ain't no disgrace to be saved by a woman.
Melody Jones : Saved? What kind of a chump do you take me fur? You still think I don't know who you were shooting at?
Cherry de Longpre : What?
Melody Jones : Look, Cherry, when a fella puts hisself between a another fella and his girl, he's got to look out for shootin' from both sides. I understand that. He's got to be ready...
[Interrupted]
Cherry de Longpre : Are you trying to tell me that I was shooting at *YOU*?
Melody Jones : I ain't blamin' ya, I tell ya. It was a showdown. You had to make a quick pick which fella you wanted. All I got to say is I'm mighty glad you ain't a better shot than you are. Thanks for taking care of my saddle for me.

Cherry de Longpre : MELODY!
[Sharpshoots target across the yard next to Melody's horse and then through the reins Melody holds]
Cherry de Longpre : HOLD IT!
