Annie Oakley (TV Series)

Powder Rock Stampede (1955)

Gail Davis: Annie Oakley

Quotes 

• Mary Rogers : Pa used to say that Powder Springs was a place where men could be touched by peace and blessed by weariness that comes with honest hard work making it a home... I'm sorry. I guess I was starting to dream, too.

  Annie Oakley : Don't ever stop, Mary. You have to dream things out before they ever become a reality. Your father knew if he ever wanted the Springs, he had to dream the Springs. Why, it even says so in the Bible: Where there is no vision, people perish.

• Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : Ah, this younger generation. I can't figure them out.

  Annie Oakley : Who wants to? I love them just the way they are.

• [last lines] 

  Tagg Oakley : Isn't she about the prettiest little filly you ever did see?

  Annie Oakley : She sure is, Tagg.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : [referring to Annie]  I only know of one prettier. You're lucky Tagg. The one I know can talk back!

  [the newborn foal struggles to her feet] 

  Tagg Oakley : Look, she's trying to stand up!

• Ralph Putnam : But, Mary, your Dad, Powder Springs, the dream.

  Mary Rogers : We did what we could, Ralph. And now, you're what's important.

  Ralph Putnam : Oh thanks, Mary. I've been waiting a long time for that. I'd give my life to make that ride.

  Annie Oakley : Dreams aren't made to be trampled on by men like Banning.

• Mark Banning : Hey, cowboy.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : You talking to me, Mister?

  Mark Banning : That's right. Come over here.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : At your service, Sir.

  Mark Banning : Oh, sorry, Deputy. I didn't notice your badge.

  Annie Oakley : Does that make a difference in how you talk to people, Mister?

• Dan Potter : He's gonna be a mighty disappointed youngster, Annie

  Annie Oakley : I know that, Dan. When he finds out Elvira's in foal, maybe he'll understand.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : He sure wants to ride in that land run.

  Annie Oakley : Well, he'll get over it, Lofty. Besides, I wouldn't let him ride in that stampede even if he was in an armoured stagecoach.

• Annie Oakley : Don't look so sad, Mr Banning, you're still gonna get some property of your own, a reward for claim jumping, about ten square feet in a state prison.

• Annie Oakley : Here's where the tortoise becomes the hare.

  Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craig : I know the straight line's supposed to be the shortest distance between two points but that's the roughest straight line I ever saw.
