- [last lines]
- Jordan 'Bick' Benedict: You want to know something, Leslie? If I live to be ninety, I will never figure you out.
- Bick Benedict: Just remember, one of these days, that bourbon's gonna kill you.
- Uncle Bawley: Okay, it'll be me or it. One of us has gotta go.
- Bick Benedict: Leslie... don't behave like that... making a fuss o'er those people. You're a Texan now.
- Leslie Benedict: Is that a state of mind? I'm still myself...
- Bick Benedict: You're my wife now honey, you're a Benedict.
- Leslie Benedict: I still have a mind of my own. Elsewhere being gracious is acceptable.
- Bick Benedict: Uh, well, but... we're gracious.
- Jett Rink: I don't know what it might just be a good idea... to gamble 'long with ol' Madama.
- Bick Benedict: How do you mean?
- Jett Rink: Jus' gamble 'long. Just... keep what she give me.
- [beat]
- Jett Rink: I'm sentimental too, Bick.
- Leslie Benedict: I said I was sorry about the name calling. It was very impolite, I know, but in principle I was absolutely right.
- Bick Benedict: You come down here and you try to tell us how to run things, insultin' my friends and everything. Now, you look here Leslie, you're my wife, Mrs Jordan Benedict, and I'm asking you right now, when are you gonna settle down and behave like everybody else?
- Leslie Benedict: Never!
- Bick Benedict: Who in Hohenzollern do you think you are, anyhow, Joan of Arc or somethin'?
- [first lines]
- Dr. Horace Lynnton: [they pull up to the Lynnton estate and stop as horses jump over the fence in front of them] There he is, there's the stallion. That's War Winds.
- Bick Benedict: Beautiful.
- Dr. Horace Lynnton: That's my daughter riding him, Leslie.
- [turns to Bick]
- Dr. Horace Lynnton: Leslie's my daughter. She's riding him.
- Bick Benedict: [slyly referring to Leslie instead of the stallion] Doctor, that sure is a beautiful animal.
- Dr. Horace Lynnton: Yes she, well we'll get to the hoses first thing in the morning. Right now you're coming up to the house and get ready for dinner.
- [fades to the next scene]
- Bick Benedict: You all think that the glory happened here in the East, don't you, with Valley Forge and Bunker Hill? Do you know about San Jacinto? Have you heard about the Alamo?
