Catherine Allen
- Catherine Allen: How often do you bathe?
- Will Penny: Well, eight or nine times. It depends.
- Catherine Allen: On what?
- Will Penny: The weather.
- Catherine Allen: Eight or nine times a month?
- Will Penny: Eight or nine times a month? A year!
- Catherine Allen: A year?
- Will Penny: Well sure. You have a real good one when you finish the shove up north, like at the hotel in Alfred. Then one or two in the winter, if you don't catch your death. Then a couple in the spring and one more good one before you start the shove up again. The rest depends on what kind of water you hit on the drive. Well, what's wrong with that? That's as much as anybody!
- [Preacher forces Catherine to take up with one of his sons]
- Catherine Allen: I need some time. It's a very hard choice to make.
- Preacher Quint: Of course it's hard. I'll give you two days. That's fair, two days. Now, pick over all the fine points. Rafe there is smarter but he's meaner, and Rufe there, he's stronger but he's dumber. If the good Lord had seen fit to put them both together, they would have made a perfect man.
- Will Penny: I'm sure glad no one seen me do that. I'd be laughed off the place.
- Catherine Allen: What? Milking?
- Will Penny: No self-respectin' cowhand'd be caught dead milkin' a cow!
- Catherine Allen: I won't tell anyone.
- Will Penny: I sure won't go braggin' on it none.
- Catherine Allen: [to Will] We don't all have the same choices. We just uh don't all have the same choices.
