• James Butler 'Wild Bill' Hickok : I have to admit, there's something about this kid that spooks me. Must be his ma. She was one hell of a damn fine woman. She could talk good, drink, tear off a piece. I had a lot of good times with Miss Susannah Moore.

  Calamity Jane : I'd like us to be in love like you and Susannah Moore. She was the one, wasn't she? The one you loved most of all. That's why this kid's got a hold to you. She was young and purty, and it was before you was the great Wild Bill. And you loved her as close as you ever did anybody, in an innocent kinda way. Ain't that right?

  James Butler 'Wild Bill' Hickok : Yeah, I suppose.

• Calamity Jane : Love you, Bill.

  [they get on with it]

  Calamity Jane : Surely.

• Calamity Jane : Hey! Would you mind avertin' your eyes? I'm a little exposed here.

• Calamity Jane : That's the way it is with men and women. Lots of times, men make some promises, then take their pleasures and move on.

• Calamity Jane : When a woman finally surrenders to a man, she's usually got him just about where she wants him. I'd love to go do my toilette, s'il vous plaît?

• Calamity Jane : You rotten bastard!

• Charley Price : Apologize for wrongs, real and imagined? Shake hands, have a drink? You'll need all the friends you can get when your eyes get worse.

• Calamity Jane : Go on there and drink your drink and then head on outta town! Else I'll be the one to put a bullet in ya!

  Jack McCall : Yes, ma'am.

  Calamity Jane : You ain't no kinda man at all. You're just some kinda fool.
