Gene Autry: Get out of those clothes!
Larry Evans: What?
Gene Autry: You heard me. Chuck the duds and get in the creek!
Larry Evans: In the creek? But it's ice water! You wanna give me pneumonia?
Gene Autry: Yeah, but you'll catch lead poisoning if they catch you in that gray check shirt, riding a palomino.

Gene Autry: Jim, I want you to take Larry and keep him under cover until you hear from me.
Larry Evans: Oh, I couldn't ask Mr. Hedges to take a risk like that.
Jim Hedge: You didn't!
[points to Gene]
Jim Hedge: He did.

Gene Autry: Jim, somebody wants this ranch... wants it bad enough to commit murder. Now what could be here that would pay a man enough to risk his neck for it.
Jim Hedge: Nothin'.
Gene Autry: Hold on now, Jim...
Jim Hedge: I don't haveta. I been over this country hundreds of times.
Mary Evans: No gold?
Jim Hedge: Ohhh, maybe enough to fill your tooth.
Larry Evans: No silver?
Jim Hedge: Welll, might find enough to plate a watch.
Gene Autry: You sure there's nothing here?
Jim Hedge: Are you crazy in the head? I've been prospecting these parts ever since the Apaches were takin' potshots at everything that was movin'...
[chuckles]
Jim Hedge: That is, everything but coyotes. It's bad luck to shoot your own relatives.

Gene Autry: Just gonna make some java. Care to join me?
Sheriff Cramer: Not me - your coffee'd throw a horseshoe. Hope I don't see you in jail.

Gene Autry: Say, by the way, if you didn't plug Norton, how come he was killed with your gun?
Larry Evans: I ran out of dough and I put in my gun to stay in the game.
Gene Autry: Like this one?
Larry Evans: Yeah. I *had* a pair of 'em.
Gene Autry: You were out to make yourself a reputation, weren't you? You certainly did. It's too bad - that sort of dime-store hero went out with Billy the Kid.

Sheriff Cramer: By the way, Miss Mary, you and your brother didn't happen to run into a fellow named Gene Autry did you?
Mary Evans: Gene Autry?
Sheriff Cramer: Yeah, he's a friend of mine. Nice fella, too, if he's on your side. Different story if he's on t'other.

Sheriff Cramer: Gene, I'd like to borrow that pistol from you if you don't mind.
Gene Autry: Now look here, Sheriff...
Sheriff Cramer: It might go off accidental-like and hurt somebody.
Gene Autry: All right. Remember that's two you owe me.
Sheriff Cramer: I'm keepin' count.

Sheriff Cramer: Gene, I'll take...
[points to Gene's gunbelt]
Gene Autry: All right... I know.
Sheriff Cramer: The ladies say they're not comfortable to dance with.

Sheriff Cramer: Good morning, Miss Mary. Great day for the race.
Mary Evans: What race?
Sheriff Cramer: The human race.

Sheriff Cramer: I'll take your six-shooter.
Gene Autry: Now look here, Cramer...
Sheriff Cramer: Just to make sure you mind your own business. I don't wear this badge for fun, you know.
