  • Wild Bill Hickok: Hang onto yourself.
  • Calamity Jane: You'll have to help me Bill. Just like you did the first time I saw you. Remember? I was just a kid. I had no more sense than I got now. Headin' down the grave with no brakes on. I loved you then, Bill. Just like I do now.
  • Calamity Jane: Bill, every night I talk to you, wantin' you. I know you feel the same way. Won't you tell me?
  • Wild Bill Hickok: What difference would that make - now?
  • Calamity Jane: If only I could hear you say it once. It would give me something - to keep. Like it was kinda holy. Like I could keep it forever.
