Quotes14

  • Potter: That's Indian country out there!
  • Calamity Jane: You're not afraid of a few Indians, are you?
  • Potter: It's not the Indians I'm afraid of. It's their attitudes.
  • Potter: Indian country. Do we have to go that way?
  • Calamity Jane: Now Painless, I'll be with you. You're not afraid, are you?
  • Potter: No. I can always get another scalp.
  • Calamity Jane: Painless, you're just the man I've been hoping to meet. Painless, there's something about you that appeals to me. Wake up, stupid.
  • [slaps Painless]
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: I don't like surprises. Am I gonna get shot by arrows? Burned at the stake? Boiled in a pot? Am I getting warm?
  • Calamity Jane: Painless, can you take it?
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: No, but tell me anyway.
  • Calamity Jane: There's an old saying: "When you're huntin' a mountain lion, stake out a goat."
  • Hank Billings: Yeah, the lion gets the goat and...
  • Calamity Jane: We get the lion.
  • Gov. Johnson: A group of white renegades is smuggling guns to the Indians. We've got to find out who they are before we have an Indian war on our hands.
  • Commissioner Emerson: Six months ago we sent two of our best agents. Their bodies were found horribly mutilated.
  • Gov. Johnson: We thought we'd send a woman. A woman who can take care of herself.
  • Calamity Jane: Like me, for instance?
  • Calamity Jane: I'll take over now!
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: Yeah, you drive a while. Who wants to watch the road?
  • Calamity Jane: Now, remember, Painless, you promised to love, honor and protect me.
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: Yeah. Let's do it in the order named.
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: Hey, you, it's a funny thing, we've been married two hours and this is the closest I've gotten to you.
  • Calamity Jane: Well, you're so strong, silent and unapproachable.
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: You wanna bet?
  • Calamity Jane: Isn't he a dandy?
  • Hank Billings: He's a humdinger.
  • Calamity Jane: You're a legend now. A hero. A man apart.
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: Yeah. We've been apart too long. Come on, honey.
  • Calamity Jane: Sayin' I'm sorry is like spittin' in your eye, and I'm sayin' it.
  • Calamity Jane: You low-down, stinkin' coyote!
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: Say, they're rugged, aren't they?
  • Calamity Jane: Made of whalebone.
  • 'Painless' Peter Potter: Just call me Moby Dick.
