- Cindy Lou Brown: Think you'll ever amount to anything, Bart?
- Bart Maverick: Course I will. My pappy once told me, "Son, you're self-centered, shifty, and you know the value of a dollar so you're gonna die honored and wealthy."
- Fergus MacKenzie: [Bart is applying for the job of scout for a wagon train] Drink?
- Bart Maverick: No, thanks.
- Fergus MacKenzie: I wasn't offering, I was inquiring.
- Bart Maverick: I never touch the stuff.
- Fergus MacKenzie: Do you gamble?
- Bart Maverick: I feel sorry for men that gamble, Mr. MacKenzie. Downright sorry.
- Fergus MacKenzie: Be ya a God-fearing man?
- Bart Maverick: Scared to death.
- Fergus MacKenzie: Well, you're hired.
- Bart Maverick: You in love with him?
- Charlotte Stanton: That sort of thing is storybook nonsense.
- Bart Maverick: Your mother says?
- Charlotte Stanton: I agree with her.
- Bart Maverick: My Pappy had a different slant on it. He once told me, "Son, love is the only thing in life you've got to earn. Everything else you can steal."
- Bart Maverick: Another thing my Pappy said when I left home, "Make a lot of mistakes, son, but always be sure they're your own."

- Ben Chapman: You could share my wagon, Fergus.
- Fergus MacKenzie: Then we should be getting her ready.
- Cindy Lou Brown: Like to share my wagon?
- Bart Maverick: Better than a kick in the shins.
- Cindy Lou Brown: Till I found out he was a no-good thief.
- Bart Maverick: I thought everybody knew that.
- Cindy Lou Brown: Well, I like to learn about people for myself.
- Cindy Lou Brown: Remember the last time we went to Deadwood, together?
- Bart Maverick: There are some thing one's never forgets. Like measles and broken arms.
- Charlotte Stanton: It's easy for you to think the way you do. You're a man. It's not the same for a woman.
- Bart Maverick: If that's true, I feel sorry for half the world.
