Destry Rides Again - A Farewell Before Leaving Bottleneck
Frenchy:
I wanted to see you before I left...I'm just tired of Bottleneck - the whole crowd and everything I've been doing. So I'm going back to New Orleans.
Destry:
Well, the folks are all gonna miss you around here. All except a few wives, I suppose.
Frenchy:
What about you?
Destry:
Me too.
Frenchy: [Three gun shots ring out]
It's wonderful this time of year. You'd like it there. How about it? No Tom, you can't go out there! They know all about the federal judge! They'll kill you if you go down the stairs! Stay here, Tom!

Destry Rides Again - Confrontation Over Authority and Consequences
Destry:
I've seen hundreds like you all the way from Jacksonville to Sacramento. And you all think easy pickin's will last forever.
Frenchy:
You'd better mind your own business or you're heading for trouble.
Destry:
Trouble is my business.
Frenchy:
Well, you'll have plenty from me. I do as I like in this town - understand? And anyone who gets in my way is taken care of.
Destry:
Like they took care of Keogh?
Frenchy:
Yes, just like that.
Destry:
That's what I thought.
Frenchy:
What do you think you're going to do?
Destry:
Don't get scared.
Frenchy:
I'm not scared of anything, and you keep your mouth shut and get out of town before it's too late for you.
Destry:
Oh now come on, I don't think you're half as bad as you make out to be.
Frenchy:
Never mind what I am.
Destry:
I'll bet you've got kind of a lovely face under all that paint, huh? Why don't you wipe it off someday and have a good look - and figure out how you can live up to it.

Hey you, give me those pants. And from now on, you leave my husband alone!

I don't want your husband, Mrs. Callahan. All I want is his money - and his pants.
Lily Belle:
And how did you get em? By makin eyes at him while you cheat? You gilded-lily you!

But Mrs. Callahan, you know that he would rather be cheated by me than married to you.

What did you say?
Frenchy:
You heard me.
Lily Belle:
That's what I thought you said.

Destry Rides Again - Understanding Through Unusual Hobbies
Kent:
Mr. Destry, before we start drinking, I think you and me oughta come to an understanding.
Destry:
Well, I'm all for folks understandin each other. That's a mighty fine idea, Mr. Kent.
Kent:
I'm glad you agree with me. So I'll start by telling you that I have a very peculiar hobby.
Destry:
So have I. Mine's carvin napkin rings. What's yours?
Kent: [The saloon empties out]
Mine's collectin deputy sheriff's guns. Whenever I meet a new deputy, I always ask him for his gun. And I ask em real nice.
Destry:
Well, I'm sorry Mr. Kent, I'm afraid this here's one gun your collection's gonna be minus.
Kent:
You mean I'm gonna have to take it?
Destry: [Kent laughs]
If you can. Now hold on, hold on. Don't get excited here. I was just tryin to tell ya that I ain't got any guns. You see, if I would have had a gun there, why, one of us might have got hurt - and it might have been me. I wouldn't like that, would I?
Bugs:
Tweet, tweet. I'm a canary. Where's my cage?
Gyp:
It's gettin sunny. Where's my parasol?
Kent:
Folks - seems like we got a deputy that knows what's good for him. If he don't carry a gun, he can't get into any trouble. And if anybody comes to you, you come to Uncle.
Destry:
I'll remember that, Mr. Kent.
Kent: [They turn and face the bar]
What'll you have, deputy?
Loupgerou:
Milk?
Destry:
Yeah, I think I will.
Frenchy: [hands Destry a broom and a wooden bucket full of water]
I can see now how you cleaned up Tombstone. You can start right here - and don't forget the corners.

Destry Rides Again - A Deputy's Legacy in Tough Times
Dimsdale:
I want a deputy like I was when Destry was my boss. Why we handled a much tougher and ornery crowd than I see present. Why when we started shootin', they ran out of town so fast, the breeze from their coat-tails set off a scythe of a windmill.
Frenchy:
But Destry is dead.
Cowboy:
That makes him the right man for the job.
2nd Cowboy:
Saves us a lot of trouble.
Dimsdale:
Is that so? Well, young Tom ain't dead and his father brought him up to be the toughest and fighting-est man that ever growed up in the West. He ain't got as big a name as his pa, but he cleaned up Tombstone. And I'm sendin for him to be my deputy. And when he gets here, Destry will ride again!

Destry Rides Again - Curiosity About Real Estate in Bottleneck
Frenchy:
I still serve the best coffee in Bottleneck.
Slade:
What did Keogh have on his mind?
Frenchy:
Oh, he was just getting a little curious about that real-estate business.
Slade: [Two shots are heard from upstairs]
I think I'll have to buy an option on his curiosity.
Frenchy:
I think you'll have to buy yourself a whole new sheriff - if you can find one.

Destry Rides Again - Planning for the Next Steps Ahead
Kent:
Nice work, honey.
Frenchy:
Practice makes perfect.
Kent:
Well that does it. This gives us a solid strip of land right across the valley.
Frenchy:
And what do we do now?
Cowboy:
Nothin', until those cattlemen try to drive their herds through without payin'.
Bugs:
How many steers will come through?
Kent:
Last year, there were 350,000. Now if we charge em twenty-five cents a head, that makes...$87,500.
Bugs:
Now that's money.
Frenchy:
We're rich!
Gyp: [Frenchy stuffs the signed-over deed to the land into her low-cut dress]
I'll get my gal's teeth plugged with diamonds and just set and watch her smile.
Kent: [as he grabs the paper]
I'll take care of that.
Frenchy: [She takes some gold coins from the poker game and drops them down the front of her dress]
I'd rather have cash - in the bank.

Eve Gill [as Doris]:
I'm afraid the murderer might come here, Madam. Might get into the dressing room. Might even murder me, Madam. I'm surprised you're not a bit afraid yourself.
Charlotte Inwood:
The theatre is the last place he would be seen. Now stop acting like a silly schoolgirl. The only murderer here is the orchestra leader!

Judgment at Nuremberg - The Burden of Hate and Forgiveness
Mrs. Bertholt:
Listen to me... there are things that happened on both sides. My husband was a military man, had been all his life. He was entitled to a soldier's death; he asked for that. I tried to get that for him, just that and he would die with some honor. I went from official to official. I begged for that, I begged for that, that he should be permitted the dignity of a firing squad. You know what happened. He was hanged with the others, and after that, I knew what it was to hate. I never left the house. I never left the room. I drank. I hated with every fiber of my being, I hated every American I'd ever known. But one can't live with hate. I know that. We have to forget. We have to go on living.
