Oliver Blake: Brimmer

Quotes 

• Brimmer : I'm tapped out, Maverick. I'd like to make you a business proposition. I'll give you the chance to buy a full-blooded Arabian mount for two hundred dollars.

  Bret Maverick : Imported Arabian?

  Brimmer : Absolutely.

  Bret Maverick : If he's all you say he is, it ought to be a bargain.

  Brimmer : It's a she. And I'll stand behind every word.

• Bret Maverick : And, uh, I better take a look at that Arabian of mine.

  Brimmer : Hmm, that's right. She's your Arabian now, isn't she?

  [Maverick scoops up some blocks of sugar] 

  Brimmer : What's that for?

  Bret Maverick : Oh, first impressions are always important, with both animals and humans.

• [Brimmer pats the neck of his camel] 

  Brimmer : There she is. She's like I said, full-blooded Arabian mount.

  Bret Maverick : Mm-hm

  Brimmer : Imported... Course, uh, she ain't very pretty, but she's, uh, kind of a relic. You know, I think she's probably one of the last the Army brought over.

  Bret Maverick : Never mind the history lesson. The fact is, you took me. You might just as well have stolen two hundred dollars out of my pocket.

  Brimmer : Mr. Maverick...

  Bret Maverick : Yes, I know. Keep smiling.

• Brimmer : Games over. I'd kinda like to know what you beat me with.

  Bret Maverick : Sometimes it's better not to know.
