Quotes

• Aunt Eller : [singing] I'd like to say a word for the cowboys.

  Mr. Carnes : Oh, you would, would you?

  Aunt Eller : The road he treads is difficult and stony. He rides for days on end with just a pony for a friend...

  Ado Annie : I sure am feelin' sorry for the pony!

• Aunt Eller : [with gun in hand] *Sing*! *Sing*! C'mon now! Sing!

• Laurey : So that's that old Cummings gal I heared so much talk of.

  Curly : You seen her before, ain't you?

  Laurey : Yeah, but not since she got so old. Never did see anybody get so peaked-lookin' in such a short time.

  Aunt Eller : Yeah. Says she's eighteen. Ha! Bet she's nineteen.

• Aunt Eller : And you'll feel funny when I tell your wife you're carrying on with another woman.

  Marshal : I ain't carrying on with no one!

  Aunt Eller : Maybe not, but you'll sure feel funny when I tell your wife you are.

• Aunt Eller : Let's not break the law. Let's just bend it a little.

• Aunt Eller : [singing] I don't say I'm no better than anybody else. But I'll be danged if I ain't just as good.

• Aunt Eller : [singing] The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy. If he rides by and asks for food and water, don't treat him like a louse. Make him welcome in your house.

  Mr. Carnes : [singing] But be sure that you lock up your wife and daughter.
