Ben Johnson Quotes

Rev. Wainscoat Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou nor thy sons with thee least ye shall die. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red and when it bringeth his color in the cup when it moveth itself aright. At the last, it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. Now folks, that's from the Good Book. But in this here town, it's 5 cents a glass. Five cents a glass. Does anyone really think that that is the price of a drink? The price of a drink - let him decide who has lost his courage and his pride who lies a groveling heap of clay not far removed...

Pat Harrigan You go after them in ten minutes. Get them. Get Pike and you'll be rich! If one of you tries to quit on me, I'll pay a bonus of a thousand dollars to the man that kills him.

Ross Whoo-ee! This is better than a hog-killing!

Buck Pike, is that you? I can ride, Pike. I can ride. I can't see but I can ride. God. No! I can't ride. Finish it, Mr. Bishop.

Tector Gorch Riding with Brother Pike and old man Sykes makes a man wonder if it ain't time to pick up his chips and find another game.

Hank Murphy Ranch?

Hank Murphy You're fired.

Maggie Excuse me. I'd, uh, I'd like to say something on behalf of George Knox.

Hank Murphy Uh, what's your name? What's your business here?

Maggie My name is Maggie Nelson. I take care of foster kids. One of these boys is, uh, the child who can see angels. He could stand up right now and tell you exactly what's happened, and I know you'd just laugh at him. But when a professional football player drops to one knee to thank God after making a touchdown, nobody laughs at that. Or when a pitcher crosses himself before going to the mound, nobody laughs at that either. Seems like you're saying it's okay to believe in God, but it's not okay to believe in angels. Now, I thought they were on the same team.

Hank Murphy Is it your belief, ma'am that, uh, angels play baseball?

Maggie Since the all-star break, yes.

Maggie We all need somebody to watch out for us. Every kid I have ever taken care of has been looking for someone to love: an angel. You've got to have faith. You've got to believe. You've got to look inside yourself. The footprints of an angel are love. And where there is love, miraculous things can happen. I've seen it.

Mel Clark I'd also like to say something. I don't know if there are angels out there, other than the twenty-five of us in uniform. But I know, there is one thing I won't do. I won't play for anyone but George Knox. I believe in him.

Triscuitt Messmer That goes for me too.

George Knox Thank you...all of you.

Hank Murphy Print what you want. George Knox is the manager of the ballclub. And if there are any angels out there, I sure hope they're on our side.
