Quotes 

• Willie : Do I tell you how to braid your hair? Don't tell me how to plow a field.

• Willie : When tragedy happens a real family pulls together, and mine ripped apart.

• Willie : Actually, I'm headed for the west.

  Missie Davis : You got land to farm?

  Willie : No, not yet. And when I do claim my land it will be for raising cattle, not crops. I worked on a couple cattle ranches and that's what suits me.

  [turns to Missie] 

  Willie : The thing is, I came by today, because I didn't want to make the same mistake. I wanted to see you, um, and to give these back to you.

  [hands Missie the ribbons] 

  Missie Davis : My ribbons. You've kept them all these years?

  Willie : Probably seems silly to you.

  Missie Davis : No, not silly. It's sweet.

  Willie : Well, anyway, that's what I came for. To give you those and to say... goodbye.

  Missie Davis : Bye.

• Missie Davis : It's foolish to mess with bees.

  [Nate is holding a smoking log by a beehive] 

  Willie : I've done this lots of times. Smoke puts'em to sleep. We'll surprise your mama with some honey.

  Willie : [bees are stinging him]  Ouch! Hey, ouch!

  Missie Davis : What's the matter? One of the bees not sleepy?

  [Willie looks at the hive and the bees, becomes angry, and runs from the hive] 

  Missie Davis : What about the honey for Mama?

  Willie : I'd stop talkin' and start runnin'.

• Willie : I love you, Missie Davis. I always have.

  Missie Davis : I love you too.

  Willie : Missie Davis, will you marry me?

• Missie Davis : We have plenty of wood back at the cabin

  Willie : Not a sturdy piece of oak like this one.

  Missie Davis : Whats it for?

  Willie : [notices bees and hands the wood to Missie]  None of your beeswax.
