Dodge City Quotes:

[Wade throws one of Surrett's men out of the barbershop]
Wade Hatton: About ten days for this customer, Tex. Five to cool off and five to think it over.
Wade Hatton: Thirty years ago my father met my mother at the London Dairy Fair. He'd come down to sell some prize pigs -- big fat lovely pigs they were. My mother was down there after winning the grand prize for her roses. Roses of Sharon, enormous big things, as big as your face and nearly as beautiful. I don't suppose there were ever roses like that in the whole length and breath of Ireland. Well, what must happen? The very last day of the fair, father's pigs get out and eat up every single one of mother's prize roses -- root, stem, flower and all. Now, did any two people ever get off to a worse start than that? And yet look at them now! Six big lusty sons with score or so of prize pigs and the most beautiful rose garden in the whole of Ireland.
Wade Hatton: William Shakespeare.
Rusty Hart: I never heard of him. What part of Texas is he from?
Wade Hatton: [surprised at Rusty's ignorance] Stratford-on-Avon.
Abbie Irving: Can anyone enjoy being jolted along week in and week out through a nightmare of heat and dust, with sand in your eyes, and sand in your hair?
Wade Hatton: Faith now, if you didn't like sand, maybe you shouldn't have left home.
Wade Hatton: Now if everyone in the camp would obey orders as willingly and charmingly as that, we wouldn't have any trouble.
