Quotes 

  • Cherie : I hate you and I despise you! Now give me back my tail!

  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Well, I've been thinkin' about them other fellas, Cherry. And well, what I mean is, I like you the way you are, so what do I care how you got that way?

    Cherie : Bo!

    [crying] 

    Cherie : That's the sweetest, tenderest thing anyone ever said to me.

  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : I still wish you was goin' back to the ranch with me more than anything I know.

    Cherie : You do?

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Yeah, I do.

    Cherie : I'd go anywhere in the world with you now. Anywhere at all!

  • Cherie : I just got to feel that whoever I marry has some real regard for me, aside from all that lovin' stuff.

  • Cherie : Well I had to do something, he was making a fuss in front of all those people.

  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : My name is Beauregard Decker, ma'am. I am 21 years old and I own my own ranch up in Timber Hill, Montana, where I got a fine herd of Hereford cattle, a dozen horses and the finest sheep and hogs and chickens in the country. Now I come down for the rodeo tomorrow with the idea in mind to find me a angel and you're it. Now I don't have a whole lot of time for sweet talkin' around the bush so I would be much obliged if you would just step outside with me into the fresh air.

    Cherie : What'd you say?

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : My name if Beauregard Decker, ma'am. I am 21 years old and I own my own ranch up in Timber Hill, Montana, where I got a fine...

    Cherie : I know. I heard all that part...

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : O.K. Let's get out of here!

    Cherie : I'm mighty grateful for what you did but we're not allowed to go out with the customers. But you can buy me a drink if you want to. I'm so dry I'm spittin' cotton.

  • [last lines] 

    Cherie : Bye, everybody! Bye! Bye.

  • Cherie : Wait! I haven't put my lipstick on yet!

  • Chérie : [singing]  That old black magic has me - in its spell, That old black magic that you weave so well, Those icy fingers up and down my spine, The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine...

  • Chérie : He called me an ignorant hillbilly. How do you like that?

    Vera : Well, ain't ya? I don't mean ignorant. I mean, but you do come from the Ozarks.

    Chérie : I ain't sung hillbilly since I was... Well, not since I turned chantooze. I've been tryin' to be somebody.

  • Chérie : [singing]  Aflame with such a burning desire, That only your kiss - kiss - kiss - can put out the fire...

  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Cherry.

    Chérie : Chérie! It's French. It means "dear one."

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Well, my name's kinda French, Beauregard. It means somethin' too.

    Chérie : What's it mean?

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : I ain't gonna tell you that.

    Chérie : No, I wouldn't.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Yes, you would.

    Chérie : Honest, I wouldn't.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Well, it means - "good lookin'." I never told that to a single person in my whole life. My Ma was French. She gave it to me.

    Chérie : That's a real pretty name. Beauregard. You are, too. Real beauregard!

  • Chérie : It was real nice the way you made everybody shut up in there, like you had respect for me. You made them have respect too. I liked that.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : You did?

    Chérie : Yes.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : How about me? Did you like me too?

    Chérie : Well, when I first saw you, I thought you was some kind of a hooligan, yellin' and stompin' like that. But when I realized you was doin' it for me, I was attracted to you.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Attracted? You was?

    Chérie : I still am.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : You still are! Really attracted?

    Chérie : Uh-huh. 'Course, it's only what you might call a physical attraction.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Physical?

    Chérie : I mean, you're so - big and strong and, well, so darn healthy-lookin'.

  • Chérie : [singing]  You're the lover I have waited for, The mate that fate had me created for, And every time - your lips meet mine, Darlin', down and down I go, 'Round and 'round I go, In a spin, Lovin' the spin that I'm in, Under that - old black magic called love - love - love - love - love!

  • Chérie : Now wait a minute. Somebody's got the wrong idea around here.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : What do you mean, Cherry?

    Chérie : My name ain't Cherry. I told you, it's Chérie.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : I can't say it fancy like that. Anyway, what's the matter with Cherry?

    Chérie : Well, it ain't - dignified.

  • Vera : I just don't understand that boy. What's he got on his mind, anyhow?

    Chérie : Me.

  • Vera : You know, I think he is crazy.

    Chérie : Sure he is. Crazy as a bedbug.

  • Chérie : If I'm not careful, I'm gonna end up in East No Place, Montana, with nothin' but him and a bunch of cows.

  • Virgil Blessing : He never even kissed a gal before he met you. You're forgettin' he spent his whole life pretty far out in the country.

    Chérie : I know what happens in the country. I'm from the country myself. I've been kissin' boys since I was knee high to...

    Virgil Blessing : Well, that's the point! You're kinda sophisticated for Bo.

    Chérie : He sure didn't kiss like it was the first time.

    Virgil Blessing : Well, Bo picks things up real quick.

    Chérie : First time, huh?

    Virgil Blessing : That's right.

    Chérie : Sure ain't never had that honor before!

  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : You see, Cherry, the whole problem is that you just haven't had time yet to get attracted to my mind.

    Chérie : Your mind? I know all about your mind I ever wanna know.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Well, do you know I can say the Gettysburg Address?

    Chérie : Come bustin' in here like a wild Indian. Sometime...

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : Cherry?

    Chérie : Well, what?

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : "Four score and seven years ago, our Fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived..."

    Chérie : Bo?

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : "In liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we're engaged in a great Civil War..."

  • Elma Duckworth : You've never been in love?

    Chérie : I don't know. Maybe I have and I didn't know it. That's what I mean. Maybe I don't know what love is.

  • Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : I lived all my life on a ranch and I guess I just didn't know anything about women. 'Cause they're different from men.

    Chérie : Well, naturally.

  • Carl : One thing I can't stand is a bully.

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : [holding Chérie upside down over his shoulder]  Who says I'm a bully?

    Chérie : I do!

    Beauregard 'Bo' Decker : [spanks Chérie's fanny]  Quiet!

  • Chérie : Ain't it wonderful when somebody so terrible turns out to be so nice?

  • Chérie : I almost married a cousin when I was 14. But Pappy wouldn't have it.

    Elma Duckworth : I never heard of anyone marrying so young!

    Chérie : Down in the Ozarks, we don't waste much time.
