The Oklahoma Kid: Listen, I learned this about human nature when I was but so high, and that is: that the strong take away from the weak, and the smart take it away from the strong.
John Kincaid: In the end, I'll see that the law gets you. And it won't be just to run you out of town. It'll be at the end of a rope.
John Kincaid: What's your proposition?
Whip McCord: You go right ahead and build your town and attract settlers.
John Kincaid: So you can take away their money at faro and roulette, eh?
Whip McCord: Yeah, that's the idea. You take care of their virtues, I'll take care of their vices. Simple, ain't it?
Jane Hardwick: Jim... what are you going to do?
The Oklahoma Kid: I've got a date with McCord.
Judge Hardwick: Now listen son, I know just how you feel.
The Oklahoma Kid: Well then in that case you won't hold me up with a lotta talk, will you?
Jane Hardwick: Haven't you done enough?
The Oklahoma Kid: I haven't done anything! Except kill a lotta ki-yotes in self defense... if you wanna put it in law talk.
