Dabney Coleman: Jack Parker
Quotes
-
Miss Jones : For a family who don't know a jackass from a mule, you sure know a lot about the West.
Jack Parker : We don't have to know about it. We, ah, we own it.
-
Reporter : To the West!
Norfolk : Awesome and inspiring.
Jack Parker : I don't see what's so inspiring about a flash flood or a blizzard, or a landslide or a sandstorm or a dust storm or any sudden disaster, personal or financial. Today the desert will broil you royal, tomorrow the mountain will freeze you stiff. That's your West: violent, treacherous. Every prairie dog hole is a gold mine, every molehill is a mountain, every creek is a river and everybody you meet is a liar.
Miss Jones : When you call me that smile, stranger.
