Quotes 

• Eli Becker : Well, who's cheating who here? You take it easy on him, Aunt E. He's a tenderfoot, y'know.

  Cort : Tenderfoot? My left eyebrow! Pretty face cardshark. I swear he's got 19 fingers and every one of 'ems crooked.

  Cort : She's right, Eli. I'm not fit company for a decent lady. You should have left me in that saloon.

  Eli Becker : Well, I couldn't do that. You were spilling blood all over Jake's floor and he didn't have any sawdust left.

  Minnie Lou : Ah, you still didn't have to bring him here. I don't know why you can't bring home stray cats and dogs like other men do, Eli Becker.

• Cort : Farce. All he did was taunt the trail boss, take a glance around the ravine and that was the whole investigation.

  Minnie Lou : So it means a war.

• Cort : A tribute, my lovely lady.

  Minnie Lou : Sit down. Show me how to do that trick with the red card.

  Cort : Well, that's cheating, Minnie Lou.
