- Shelby Barret Wyatt: Nicko, I'm going to talk mighty fast and blunt. I want you to stop spreading lies about me.
- Mrs. 'Nicko' Nicholas: What are you talking about?
- Shelby Barret Wyatt: You wanted Johnny, I got him. Knowing your high standards of sportsmanship, is no surprise to me that you are a bad loser. You'd like Johnny's family to believe a lot of dirty gossip about me and Gene Fairchild. I'm warning you to shut up and take your loss like the lady you're not.
- Uncle Emlen Wyatt: Johnny never takes anything seriously, running about the country, getting married here, there, and the other place.
- John 'Johnny' Wyatt: Oh, come now, I only got married once.
