  Beauregarde Maverick : Well, good, I was hoping there was some of their own cash in the kitty.

  Sheriff : Why?

  Beauregarde Maverick : Well, you see, my cousin, Bart and I engaged in a $15,000 transaction with your, uh, customers in there. And we would hate to think it came from the honest folk in this town. You see the, uh, temptation might've been to much for us.

  Phyllis : You mean you'd actually be tempted to keep money that wasn't rightfully yours?

  Beauregarde Maverick : Oh, no. We might have been tempted to give it back.

  Bart Maverick : And if we did, we'd, uh, never be able to forgive ourselves. Miss Hulett.

• Bart Maverick : I'd like to send a telegram... to my Pappy. "About to get married. Settling down. Getting a job. Giving up poker forever. Your loving son, Bart."

  [after some time has passed] 

  Bart Maverick : You're reply sir.

  Bart Maverick : Oh, good. "Delighted you have seen error of your ways. Congratulations. All my love to you and bride. Your proud Pappy."
