Aço de Boa Têmpera

Katie Brannigan: [after Tom had told her earlier there was a law against women wearing pants, she looked it up] There's no such law at all.

Sheriff Tom Brewster: Huh?

Katie Brannigan: There's nothing in here about women not being able to dress as they please.

Sheriff Tom Brewster: Well, I didn't say it was a law in *this* town. Back where I come from it is. Folks there got sense. They want some quick way of tellin' their women apart from their men... that is, at a distance.

Katie Brannigan: I almost went home and changed.

Sheriff Tom Brewster: Wish you had. You'd look a darn sight better.

Katie Brannigan: That's a matter of opinion.

Sheriff Tom Brewster: Not either. It's a matter of build. How do you think I'd look in a skirt?

Katie Brannigan: Well, I-I-I...

Sheriff Tom Brewster: Go home and think that over and see where you come out. If you got any imagination, I'll bet it's without pants.

Katie Brannigan: [aghast] Why!
