Quotes 

• Doc Schultz : Patience, you got to stop shooting at people. You know something? If you wasn't such a terrible shot, there wouldn't be a young man alive in all of Purgatory. I heard you shot at Elmer Price in the lobby of the hotel yesterday evening.

  Patience : Well, he asked me to marry him!

  Doc Schultz : You think that's reason enough to shoot at a man?

• Patience : [Trying on a showy dress that Abigail has given her]  Ya' think... ya' think I look like a lady of the evening?

  Abigail : Wha... What's a "lady of the evening"?

  Patience : Oh, Miss Abigail, you DO lead a sheltered life!

• Taylor Barton : [Kewpie dolls hit the street in front of the Bartons]  What in heaven's name are these?

  Bud Barton : That's a Kewpie doll. I won one of them once at the State Fair, time I went to Denver all by myself.

  Patience : And got rolled by some floozy!

  Bud Barton : Aw, shut up...

• Patience : [Curious about Latigo Smith's mysterious illness]  What's wrong with him, Doc?

  Doc Schultz : You know a doc can't talk about his patients, Patience.

• Patience : Now I have sworn me a vow that I am going back east to Miss Hunter's College on the Hudson River New York for young ladies of good family and ain't nothing gonna stop me!

• Taylor Barton : [Patience Barton - his daughter - is wildly shooting up the town with a rifle]  What the hell do ya' think you're doin'!

  Patience : I'm teachin' these jackass miners a lesson!

  Taylor Barton : [Taylor Barton and son Oroville rush out and subdue Patience as she stops to reload]  How many times have I told you not to shoot at people?

  Patience : Well, they had it comin'! One of them said something vile to me. He said "Does your mother know you're out, Cecilia?"

  Taylor Barton : You consider that grounds for shootin' up the whole town?

  Patience : I KNOW what he meant!

  Taylor Barton : Well I sure as hell don't!

• Latigo : I don't like anything west of Riverside Drive.

  Patience : Where's that?

  Latigo : New York City.

  Patience : On the Hudson River?

  Latigo : Yeah, born and raised there.

  Patience : Tell me about it!

  Latigo : Tell you what about it?

  Patience : ALL!

  Latigo : Well let's see, they, they don't carry guns. And they got a cop on every street corner to keep people from shootin' one another.

• Patience : I'm a rotten shot and I'm gettin' awful tired of missin' you.
