George Fury Quotes in Along Came Jones (1945)

George Fury: Get your dumb thumb out of my eye!

Melody Jones: I was just trying to see if you was dead.

George Fury: Well, I ain't! And I don't like someone trying to gouge my eye out.

George Fury: Now wait a minute, Melody. You ain't got to be no dumber than necessary.

Melody Jones: That would make me somebody, wouldn't it?

George Fury: Look Melody, you couldn't hit the hind end of your horse with a handful of buckshot and you know it. And you ain't a gunfighter, that's all. You ain't even a good shot. You're just a plain no good bronc stomper that's been hit in the seat of the pants so many times....

George Fury: You always want to shoot them in their right eye. It spoils their aim.

George Fury: Who is it?

Melody Jones: That used to be Packard, the Express Company fella.

George Fury: Well that cinched the duck! Now they got a corpus delicti!

Melody Jones: A what?

George Fury: A dead body! That's the way the law says it. Corpus delicti. Means that if they got a corpse, you're delicti! Before this, even if they hung ya, we could have proved it was a mistake.

George Fury: Who is she?

Melody Jones: I've never seen her before.

George Fury: That time in Cheyenne when you was kicked in the head and you was missing four days... are you sure you didn't marry somebody while you was out of your head?

Melody Jones: I wasn't that far out of my head!

George Fury: [to Melody as he enters the saloon] Don't go fur, will yuh? I don't aim to be drinkin' here for more than five or six hours.
