Glennister : I imagine that dress is supposed to have a chilling effect. Well if it is, it isn't working, 'cuz you'd look good to me, baby, in a burlap bag.
-
Idabelle : Colored boy! Where'd y'all come from?
Glennister : [in blackface] How's y'all sweet thing. I figured it was about time for us to get acquainted!
Idabelle : Is that so? Well, if y'alls think I'm the common kind that messes around with anything that comes along. I says if you thinks I'm that kind of a person, I'll pour y'all a cup of coffee.
[Glennister takes off his hat]
Idabelle : Here, now, wait a minute! Y'all ain't no colored boy! You's washable. Why, it's Mr. Glennister! Watch you doin' runnin' 'round here raisin' up a lady's hopes like that for? Wait'll Miss Cherry sees you!
Glennister : Hold on a minute, Idabelle. Let's get rid of this Alabama tan first and you better wash this shirt.
Idabelle : But, Mr. Glennister, you's more handsome now than yous ever been before.
Glennister : And Miss Cherry might feel the same way and then I'd have to spend the rest of my life in a smokehouse. Now, go on and get me some soap and water.

Alex McNamara : [after Glennister punches out a man that was about to hit McNamara with a chair] Thanks Glennister, that's one I owe you.
Glennister : Don't mention it. I hope I didn't make a mistake.
Alex McNamara : Meaning... you've got an idea I might've had it coming to me?
Glennister : There's just a chance the whole town *could* be wrong.
-
Glennister : [in blackface] How are ya, Mr. Bones?
Al Dextry : Well, Mr. Tambo, I'm just about even.
Glennister : Even?
Al Dextry : Even better than I was befo'.
-
Glennister : All right, men, let's mount up. You all know what you're supposed to do. And, remember, if you have to shoot, aim low! We don't want to kill anybody.
-
Glennister : Well ol' timer... you were right. We're gonna do it your way.
Al Dextry : Well... now you're talkin'!
[shaking hands vigorously]
Cherry Malotte : Wait a minute. You two are planning to dynamite yourself into a mess. I won't let you do it! I could get about four thousand together, that should be enough.
Glennister : We got a good sized poke of our own, why should we cut into yours? C'mon Dex!
[leaving, pauses in the doorway and turns back to Cherry]
Glennister : But that was a nice thought, Sport. Thanks for now, and I'll be back later to put some lace on it.
Cherry Malotte : [worried] What do think they'll do, Bronco?
Bronco Kid Farrow : If it was my dough they were holding in that bank, I know what I'd do.
