Quotes 

• Emerald Carney : What do you think you're doing, Payton?

  [He's rifling through her suitcase including her silks and satins, her light coloured corset with black boning and lace] 

  Emerald Carney : Wringing a chicken's neck? Handle these things carefully! I just laundered them.

  Payton : Here. What kept you from dropping it on the ground?

  Payton : I'm sorry.

  Emerald Carney : Don't say you're sorry. Just don't say anything. I want to hate you with a clear conscience. Men! You don't know how well off you are without them.

• Rowdy Yates : Is it all right?

  Sister Frances : Is what all right?

  Rowdy Yates : Well, is it all right to speak?

  Sister Joan : I've been wondering why you've been silent.

  Rowdy Yates : Have you?

  Sister Joan : Yes, I mean, yes, I think I have.

  Sister Frances : Yes, I'm sure she has.

  Emerald Carney : I'm sure she has too.

• Emerald Carney : You and her come from the same part of Texas, don't you?

  Rowdy Yates : Yeah.

  Emerald Carney : You're the goodlooking boy from home. She saw the likes of you and that was it.

  Rowdy Yates : You always go 'round talkin' like this?

  Emerald Carney : Oh, I'm a hasping, meddlesome female. You know any who aren't?

  Rowdy Yates : Yeah, those two in there.

• Emerald Carney : [Rowdy holds Emerald's hand and helps her into the stage]  Thank you, drover boy.

  [So infatuated, he doesn't realize who's hand he takes next] 

  Jim Quince : Ever so much, drover boy.

  [Rowdy yanks his hand away disgustedly while Quince laughs]
