Quotes 

• Hallie Martin : I'm just trying to be pleasant. You get so worked up about everything.

  Sonny Steele : What have I got to be worked up about? I've only got a stole horse; everybody except the Coast Guard is after me; I've got nothin' but miles of open country to cross; and now I'm carrying a crazy woman around wearin' shoes from Bloomingbird's who thinks she's seen a rattlesnake roundup.

• Hallie Martin : I've been to the rodeo. Twice.

  Sonny Steele : Did you stay for the rattlesnake roundup?

  Hallie Martin : Yes. I stayed. Right 'til the end. I saw the whole thing.

  Sonny Steele : They don't have one. How're you gonna round up a rattlesnake?

• Hallie Martin : Mr. Steele, why were you 45 minutes late to the press confrence?

  Sonny Steele : Well, I'd like to aplogize for that. I was giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a bottle of tequila. And, we lost her too.

• Sonny Steele : I knew a fella once misjudged a Brahma--put a rib right through his lung. He could barely breathe, and he still got up and rode the rankest mare there.

  Hallie Martin : I will never understand why you find that kind of behavior admirable!

  Sonny Steele : It'll get you up the hill.

• Hallie Martin : You're all bent. Are you sick?

  Sonny Steele : Nope. Just bent.

• Hallie Martin : OK, I respect your position. I don't understand it, but I respect it. A lot of famous people hated publicity: Albert Schweitzer. Franco... Albert Schweitzer.

• Sonny Steele : I ain't carrying it. And you can't carry it.

  Hallie Martin : The hell I can't. I've carried this stuff a lot of times.

  Sonny Steele : Where? Up the escalator at Bloomington's, or Bloomingbird's or wherever the hell it is?

  Hallie Martin : Bloomingdale's!

• Sonny Steele : You've had a hard day. Why don't you scrunch down in the bag?

  Hallie Martin : Oh, I wish it were that easy. I don't sleep.

  Sonny : Ever? How old are you?

• Hallie Martin : What are you gonna do tomorrow, Sonny?

  Sonny Steele : Oh, I'm gonna get movin' on. Find me something simple. Hard maybe, but plain and quiet.

• Hallie Martin : You ride off with somebody else's $12-million-dollar horse; did you think we wouldn't notice?

• Hallie Martin : They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

  Sonny Steele : I know. I'm the one who said it.

• Man : Hey! Hey, Hallie, Hallie Martin! We met in New York, remember?

  Hallie Martin : Did we like each other?
