Mr. Carnes
- Ado Annie:He called me his Persian kitten!
- Mr. Carnes:what'd you call her that for?
- Ali Hakim:Ohh - I don't remember...
- Ado Annie:I do! He said I's like a Persian kitten cause they is the cats with the soft round tails!
- Mr. Carnes:[cocking his gun] That's enough. In this country that better be a proposal of marriage.
- 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!
- Ali Hakim:[trying to get out of marrying Ado Annie] You'd hardly ever see your daughter no more!
- Mr. Carnes:That'd be all right. Just take care of her, son.
- Ali Hakim:Oh, I did not say that.
- Ado Annie:Oh, yes, you did.
- Ali Hakim:No, I did not.
- Mr. Carnes:Are you trying to make my daughter out to be a liar?
- Ali Hakim:Oh, no, no, no, no. I was only trying to make clear to you what a liar I am, if she is telling the truth.
- 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.
