Reb Kittredge: Did you ever think of settling down in one place, Johnny?
Johnny Lake: Yeah, I did settle down once.
Reb Kittredge: What happened?
Johnny Lake: They forgot to lock the cell one night.


--Charles Drake (as Johnny Lake) in Gunsmoke

Reb Kittredge: I guess that squares us, Johnny.
Johnny Lake: I'm glad to hear it, Reb. I never did like to shoot my friends.

Evelyn Turner: Is your heart in a cage, Professor Holsworth?
Prof. Norman Holsworth: Oh I give it a little birdseed now and then.
Evelyn Turner: That's very strongminded of you, but I'm not quite convinced.
Prof. Norman Holsworth: Neither am I.

Elwood P. Dowd: You see, science has overcome time and space. Well, Harvey has overcome not only time and space, but any objections.
Dr. Chumley: Fly specks, fly specks! I've been spending my life among fly specks while miracles have been leaning on lampposts at 18th and Fairfax!

Betty Graham: Oh, why can't we travel more?
Howard Graham: What for? We've got everything we want right here at home.

Miss Kelly: Well what shall I say to Mr. Dowd? What do I do? He'll probably be so furious he'll refuse to come down here.
Dr. Sanderson: Look, Miss Kelly. He's probably fit to be tied, but he's a man, isn't he?
Miss Kelly: I guess so. His name's *Mister*!
Dr. Sanderson: Well, then, go into your old routine. You know, the eyes, the swish, the works. I'm immune to it, but I've seen it work on some people, some of the patients out here. Now, you get him down here, Kelly, if you have to do a striptease!

Dr. Sanderson: It sounds funny, but I'll miss this place. I guess I'll miss a lot of things around here.
Miss Kelly: You will?
Dr. Sanderson: You won't laugh?
Miss Kelly: Of course not.
Dr. Sanderson: You know how it is working around people day after day. You sort of get attached to them.
Miss Kelly: I know, Lyman.
Dr. Sanderson: It may be ridiculous, but I'm gonna miss every one of the psychos, and the neuros, and the schizos in the place.

Sheriff Matt Warren: Did you know, Putnam, more people are murdered at ninety-two degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once - lower temperatures, people are easy-going. Over ninety two, it's too hot to move. But just ninety-two, people get irritable.

Stacey Howard: You all know what we're here for. I had you men picked because I think you all feel the way I do. We didn't come out here for the good of the glorious West... but for our own good. And that being so, we're moving on Comanche territory tonight.
