- Loretta Lynn: [in a radio interview] Shoot, we've been driving so much, I don't know where I am half the time. But it's fun. We sing, and talk, and Doo - that's my husband - he'll get to acting horny.
- Speedy West: [shocked] What!
- Loretta Lynn: And the more I laugh, the hornier he gets, and then he'll say, "Loretta, spread me up another one of them baloney sandwiches!"
- Radio station manager: [later] I don't know where in the hell you think you are, lady, but that kind of smut don't go in this part of the country!
- Loretta Lynn: I didn't know it was dirty! I thought "horny" meant cuttin' up and acting silly!
- Loretta Lynn: [catches Doolittle with another woman] Woman, if you want to keep that arm, you better get it off my husband.
- Girl at fairgrounds: Who are you telling what?
- Loretta Lynn: I don't know who you are, but I know what you are.
- Doolittle Lynn: Mr. Webb, me and Loretta are fixin' to get married, if it's alright with you.

- [Doolittle walks back onto the porch, then back into the house]
- Loretta Webb: Doolittle, what are you doin'?
- Doolittle Lynn: Ted says go ask Clary; Clary says go ask Ted; I don't know.
- Loretta Webb: Wait 'til they go to bed; then you can catch them together. 'Less they'll keep you runnin' back and forth all night long.
- [Doolittle walks out of the door after an argument with Loretta]
- Loretta Lynn: Doolittle; are you leavin'?
- Doolittle Lynn: [come back in the house] Naw, Loretta; *I* ain't leavin'.

- Girl: What'd you call me?
- Loretta Lynn: A sow, that's a woman pig!
- Radio station manager: Come off that *dumb* hillbilly act!
- Doolittle Lynn: You know, mister, if you knew Loretta, you'd know that ain't no act.
- Loretta Lynn: Thank you, Doo.
- Loretta Lynn: Dadgum it, Doo! You never ask me nothing! You just say, "Hey baby, here's the deal, take it or leave it." Well, it's drivin' me crazy, Doo!
- Doolittle Lynn: Well, hell, then let's go up to the house, call a lawyer and get a divorce. I'm tired of this bullshit.
- Loretta Lynn: I don't want no divorce! I just want the dadgum bedroom in the back of the house!
- Ted Webb: I ain't ever gonna see you again.
- Loretta Lynn: Yes you will, daddy.
- Ted Webb: Maybe. But I ain't never gonna see my little girl again. Them years has been robbed from me, like a thief broke in and robbed 'em.
- Doolittle Lynn: Loretta, I am leaving Kentucky. I'm going out west to Washington to get me a job on a ranch or something. That damned ol' coal mine's got me buried alive.
- Loretta Lynn: Was you just gonna leave me?
- Doolittle Lynn: Just long enough to get the money to send for you.
- Loretta Lynn: What makes you think I'd come?
- Doolittle Lynn: 'Cause you're my wife, darling!
- Loretta Lynn: I'm your wife! Boy, you better think of a better reason than that.
- Doolittle Lynn: There ain't nothing for me in Kentucky, Loretta. Except a chest full of coal dust and bein' an old man time I'm 40. You ask your daddy. 'Sides that, you got to come with me, I love you.
- Loretta Lynn: You promised Daddy you wouldn't take me off far from home.
- Doolittle Lynn: Well, you just have to make up your mind, darling, whether or not you're his daughter or my wife. Get in. I'll take you back to the house. What are you doing in the bottom anyhow?
- Loretta Lynn: I come to see Doc Turner.
- Doolittle Lynn: You sick?
- Loretta Lynn: Yeah, I'm gonna have a baby.
- Doolittle Lynn: [laughs] Oh, Lord, Loretta. You know, darlin', you might have found something that you know how to do.
- Loretta Lynn: I'm gettin' so sick of baloney.
- Doolittle Lynn: You are? Well, you know what they say about eatin' baloney, don't you?
- Loretta Lynn: No, what?
- Doolittle Lynn: Makes you horny.
- Loretta Lynn: What does that mean?
- Doolittle Lynn: [starts laughing] Are you so dadburn ignorant, you don't know what "horny" means?
- Loretta Lynn: No, what does it mean?
- Doolittle Lynn: I ain't gonna tell you.
- Loretta Lynn: Doo! Doo, what does it mean? What does it mean?

- [after discovering Mooney with a young woman]
- Loretta Lynn: I'm warning you Doolittle, I'd better never catch you with trash like that again! I mean it!
- Loretta Lynn: [trying out a new song] It goes like this "It'll be over my dead body, so get out while you can", then it drops down to "cause you ain't woman enough to take my man!"
- Doolittle Lynn: Where'd you come up with the idea for that song, Loretta?
- Doolittle Lynn: [has just tasted Loretta's cooking for the first time] Make many pies, Loretta?
- Loretta Lynn: Naw, this is the first one.
- Doolittle Lynn: How much salt that recipe call for?
- Loretta Lynn: Shoot, you don't put salt in a pie! You put in flour and eggs and sugar and... oh no.
- Doolittle Lynn: Makes sense though; salt and sugar are both white.
