Rusty Hart : Well, well. So this is Dodge City, huh? Sort of smells like Fort Worth, don't it?
Wade Hatton : Oh, that's not the city you smell. That's you! We better get you to a bathtub before somebody shoots you for a buffalo.

Wade Hatton : I got a call to make down here, so you're on your own. Now, just try and keep sober and stay out of trouble. Will you?
Algernon 'Rusty' Hart : Well, Wade, you know I signed the temperance pledge before we left Texas.
Wade Hatton : Why sure, Rusty, I know that. And I know you were blind drunk when you signed it.
Algernon 'Rusty' Hart : Oh, no, you're confusing the issue. I'm a re-formed man.
Wade Hatton : Well, even a reformed man can get into trouble when the boys get paid off.
Algernon 'Rusty' Hart : No, no! I ain't gonna touch a drop. I'm just gonna mosey around and - take in the sights.
Wade Hatton : Well, look out you don't become one of them.

Algernon 'Rusty' Hart : You crazy galoot!

Algernon 'Rusty' Hart : Them two youngsters is more trouble than they're worth.
Wade Hatton : I'll certainly be glad to hand them over to their uncle in Dodge.
Algernon 'Rusty' Hart : Yeah. She sure is pretty, though.
Wade Hatton : Yes. I'd still trade the two of them for one good cigar.

Wade Hatton : You can get plenty of men for that job out here, Colonel. I'm getting married next week. Got tickets for New York.
Algernon 'Rusty' Hart : Oh, shucks, you can get married anytime. We'll even go on your honeymoon with you to Virginia City.
Wade Hatton : Oh, thanks.
Tex Baird : Gettin' married has ruined a lot of good men.
