Charlie Wooster : An outrage, that's what it is. An outrage.
Cooper Smith : What's the matter, Charlie? These big city slickers giving you an orney-ment?
Charlie Wooster : It aint bad enough him charging me double for shoeing my horse on account of it being Sunday. Now he's drinking coffee on my time.
Cooper Smith : Hey, wait a minute.
Charlie Wooster : Yep?
Cooper Smith : Speaking of Sunday, have you been to church yet?
Charlie Wooster : I been what?
Cooper Smith : I said, have you been to church yet?
Charlie Wooster : Now, let me tell you.
Cooper Smith : I can't think of a better place to look for an upstanding man, to look for someone to drive the Holland wagon. You mosey on down there and have a talk with the Pastor.
Charlie Wooster : How's come you do all the thinking and I do all the walking?
Cooper Smith : Hey, Charlie, you remember that incident in St Joe that I haven't told Chris about?
Charlie Wooster : Huh? Yeah, yeah. I'll go. You just keep quiet.
Cooper Smith : Good.
-
Cooper Smith : You sure took your sweet time getting back, Charlie.
Charlie Wooster : We had a lenghty discussion with the Town Marshall.
-
Michael Malone : We had a choice of either five days in jail or...
Cooper Smith : What does he mean: We?
Charlie Wooster : I was an innocent bystander, that's all I was.
Christopher Hale : This most interesting. Would you care to continue?
Michael Malone : Well, there was the matter of the saloon window we broke.
Charlie Wooster : Good drivers are hard to find, aint they Coop?
Christopher Hale : Maybe you don't look in the right places.
Charlie Wooster : I do.
Christopher Hale : Have you driven a four up before, Mr Malone?
Michael Malone : No, sir. Mr Wooster gave me an advance on my salary to pay for the fine and the window. The only way I can repay the debt is to work it out for the ladies.
Christopher Hale : Mr Wooster is most generous.
Charlie Wooster , Christopher Hale , Nora Holland : We'll get on fine, Mr Malone.
Christopher Hale : Just one thing in case it makes a difference, I have an ironcast rule about drinking to excess on this wagon.
Michael Malone : I'm used to ironcast rules.
Christopher Hale : Army?
Michael Malone : No. But the discipline is just the same.
Christopher Hale : Being used to rules and obeying them are two different things, Mr Malone.

Duke Shannon : What's this? What'd you do with the fish?
Charlie Wooster : I cooked it. What do you think I done with it?
Cooper Smith : What happened. Wouldn't the granddaddy of them all feed the four of us?
Charlie Wooster : Don't be smart. This is one of my foreign recipes.
Duke Shannon , Cooper Smith : Don't know where it's from, still looks like stew to me.
Christopher Hale : Bouillabaisse.
Charlie Wooster : Bully what?
Christopher Hale : Bouillabaisse.
Charlie Wooster : Oh.
Christopher Hale : You know, Charlie, once in a while you surprise me.
Charlie Wooster : Thank you.
Cooper Smith : Hey, this good.
Duke Shannon : You been stealing recipes from Miss Nora?
Charlie Wooster : We've had other gour mets on the train besides her. Remember that fellow from China we had two or three trips back.
Duke Shannon : Ah Chong.
Charlie Wooster : Taught me how to make it. Not expensive to make either.
Cooper Smith : Hey, Charlie, I got the feeling something is looking at me.
Charlie Wooster : He always said we waste the best part of the fish.
Duke Shannon : Like what?
Charlie Wooster : The head for one thing.
[Coop and Duke disappear in disgust]
Charlie Wooster : What's wrong with them?
Christopher Hale : Some people just don't have your taste for exotic cuisine, Charlie.
