INVENTIONS

MEMORABLE REMARKS

• This could do for us what the Alamo did for San Antonio. Of course, they did have a massacre down there, but, I think that adds to the tourist value of a place, don't you? [Mayor Brown]
  Yes, massacres do get your attention. [Bartok]
• All right, like we practiced - only better! [Skeeter]
• She sure does hate it when I chew my toenails. [Lamar]
  Sounds like a woman of quality, Lamar. Don't you ever lose her. [Pratt]
• I believe I have a personal appearance that day, at a wedding... could be a hanging. I don't recall. [Pratt]
• Siringo... well, he did something that I find completely unforgiveable. [Pratt]
  He put his life into your hands? [Bartok]
  Exactly. I hate that. [Pratt]
• A man who does not have adventure in his heart cannot write adventure books. [Bartok]
  Yes, well, keep in mind if the hero dies, the adventure's over. [Pratt]
• Ah, the tell-tale heart. I remember it well. I had to sleep in Mother Pratt's room for a week. Nevermore... [Pratt]
• Do I have to be the milkmaid? [Legend]
• It's certainly smokeless. Quiet too. [Legend]
• The adventure is back in your heart again. [Bartok]
  Is that what that is? I thought it was the fish taco from the roadside vendor. [Pratt]
