Quotes 

• Lonnie Beale : Stanley, if one won't start, the other won't start.

  Stanley Potter : Why?

  Lonnie Beale : Because they're both wet. W-E-T. Wet.

• Lonnie Beale : [singing]  It's a long, lonely highway, gettin' longer all the time, And if she don't come and get me, Well, I'm gonna lose my mind...

• Brad Bentley : I understand you're the kind of saddle tramp that doesn't like to stay long in one place.

  Lonnie Beale : At least I know horses. The ones with long ears are usually jackasses.

• Lonnie Beale : [singing]  All you do is give a sigh, And beat around the bush, Can it be that you're too shy, To give yourself a little old push, Can you or can't you tell me yes...

• Lonnie Beale : [singing]  I hear you're pretty good at runnin', But pretty soon you'll slip and fall, That's when I'll drag you home with me girl, I'm gonna chain you to the wall. You know I'm lookin' for you baby, I ain't gonna take it layin' down, I heard that you were cookin' baby, Way on the other side of town. I've got a dirty, dirty feelin', Dirty feelin's goin' on...

• [repeated line] 

  Lonnie Beale : Let's try it again.

• Lonnie Beale : We better get you outta those wet clothes as soon as possible.

• Lonnie Beale : [singing]  Slowly but surely I'm gonna wear you down, Slowly but surely I'm gonna bring you round, To my way of thinking, my way of kissing, my way of lovin'...

• Vera Radford : Oh, no, of course not. Stanley, please get Mr. and Mrs. Dabney fixed up. Will you please get them some more chicken?

  Mr. Dabney : Yes, and get us a chicken that won't fly away this time.

  Vera Radford : Oh

  [chuckles] 

  Vera Radford : of course.

  [turning to Mrs. Dabney] 

  Vera Radford : Are you all right, dear?

  Mrs. Dabney : Well, I think I am.

  Vera Radford : Of course, you're gonna have some more dinner, and now we're going to have some entertainment. All right?

  Mr. Dabney : Oh that's nice!

  Vera Radford : Lonnie. I think we better start the entertainment... right away.

  Lonnie Beale : Sure, Miss Radford.

• Estelle Penfield : You've got to be kidding me

  Lonnie Beale : [shrugs]  Sorry, dietician's orders.

  Estelle Penfield : But it's such a little steak, and I'm so hungry. Listen, Lonnie, if you would give me another steak, I would be very grateful. Do we understand each other?

  Lonnie Beale : [pauses]  No.

• Stanley Potter : Oh, come on, Pam. Don't be a dum-dum.

  Lonnie Beale : You can't change her, Stanley. Shall we?

  Stanley Potter : By all means.

  Lonnie Beale : [turns to Pam]  Good bye, Dum-dum!

• Vera Radford : Any objections to working for a woman?

  Lonnie Beale : No objections. I never had a lady boss before.

  Vera Radford : Well, you have now.

• Lonnie Beale : I thought I was going to work on your ranch, ma'am?

  Vera Radford : This is my ranch! A guest ranch. A ranch that serves models, career women. We help the girls get in shape.

  Lonnie Beale : Well, you're doin' a real good job.

• Stanley Potter : Circle Z is a factory for reconditioning girls.

  Lonnie Beale : What's wrong with the condition they're in now?

  Stanley Potter : Well, you're looking at the after-girls. Wait till you see the before-girls.

• Stanley Potter : They come in here measuring 40-30-38. That's to use rough figures.

  Lonnie Beale : That's rough?

  Stanley Potter : And when they leave a few weeks later, 36-38-24!

  Lonnie Beale : 38?

  Stanley Potter : Oh, 36 to, eh, well, you'll see the difference.

• Lonnie Beale : All right everybody. Here we go. One. Two. Three. Bend. Up. Turn around. Same thing. One. Two. Three. Bend. There you go.

• Vera Radford : We're going to have to do something about your singing.

  Lonnie Beale : I've been tryin' for years.

  Vera Radford : Don't get me wrong, the guests think its wonderful and so do I. But, my staff complained that you through this place into such a tizzy yesterday, their whole routine was disrupted.

  Lonnie Beale : Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

  Vera Radford : You don't have to be. Just - pick your moment.

• Vera Radford : Do you like it here, Lonnie?

  Lonnie Beale : Sure! It's the best ranch I've ever worked on. The smell of perfume instead of the smell of the...

  Vera Radford : Sit down, Lonnie.

• Vera Radford : Now, there's been some discontent for another reason. Jealousy. You know how it is when a pack of women get together. If it appears that you're giving more attention to one than to another, even if it only seems that way, they begin clawing and scratching like wild cats. Try to keep everybody happy. Won't you?

  Lonnie Beale : I'll certainly try, ma'am.

  Vera Radford : And may I say this, management also approves.

  Lonnie Beale : I'm glad to hear that; because, I approve of management.

• Pam Merritt : Fighting like a couple of roosters in a barnyard. You! You!

  Lonnie Beale : Yes?

  Pam Merritt : Casanova!

• Pam Merritt : Lots of cities have legends. So, why not one for little ol' Silverado. Hey, did you know that Jenny Lind sang here?

  Lonnie Beale : Jenny Lind? The Swedish nightingale?

  Pam Merritt : Ah-huh. Can't you just see this place in the old days. I can just see it now. Hard rock miners. Dancehall girls. Cowboys out for a good time.

• Vera Radford : I'd appreciate it if you'd at least think it over. Oh, at ease, Lonnie. Forget you're working for me.

  Lonnie Beale : I thought this was gonna be strictly business?

  Vera Radford : Oh-oh, I mean business.

  Lonnie Beale : I've heard of this happening to secretary's before, but, this is ridiculous.

• Vera Radford : Is anything wrong?

  Lonnie Beale : No. It's, eh, just that I've never been kissed by my boss before.

• Pam Merritt : [to Lonnie after his fight with Brad]  Fighting like a couple of roosters in a barnyard! YOU... YOU...

  Lonnie Beale : Yes?

  Pam Merritt : Casanova!
