• Bessie Bison : I'm every bit as lonesome as you are.

  Bret Maverick : But you've got Willie.

  Bessie Bison : I ain't got Willie, Mr. Maverick. I got a promissory note called Willie Saffron, which he keeps forgettin' to sign. How long do you think people should be engaged before they get married?

  Bret Maverick : Well, I think that depends...

  Bessie Bison : Well, I been dependin' on Willie for the last seven years without anything happenin'. I mean, every time I ask him "Please, Willie, let's set a positive date", he keeps hemmin' and hawin', hemmin' and hawin'. I mean, he's the best hemmer and hawer I ever saw! Instead of sayin', "Okay, maybe Tuesday, like Wednesday, Thurs...", he keeps puttin' me off and gives me a hunk of jewelry.
