Miner Quotes in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)

Otto Meyer: So, what's wrong with your wife?

Miner: That's the trouble, the doc's not sure. He says whatever it is, she's too sick even to be moved. She needs this special stuff and we haven't got a phone so I went to get it and that's when... Slow down, the turning is just up here.

Otto Meyer: Turning? You mean it's off the road?

Miner: Only a mile.

Otto Meyer: Now look, Pal, I'm in a hurry...

Miner: HOLD IT! Stop the car. Now listen, buddy, I'm sorry about your problems. But the doc said to hurry and this is my wife. Now come on, we turn right here.

Otto Meyer: But there isn't even a road...

Miner: LISTEN! Don't force me to get rough!

[Rips the horn ring off the steering wheel]

Miner: Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bust up your car.

Otto Meyer: That's all right. You say it's a mile? Heck, a mile ain't asking too much.

Miner: You gonna give me my car, or do I gotta go to your house and shove your dog's head down the toilet?

Miner: Harry, what're you doin' eatin' show?

Old Miner: [eating Stuff] Are you outta your head, buddy? If this is snow, try it.

[offers the other miner some]

Miner: No, I don't eat snow.

Old Miner: Come on, give it a try, that's not snow. Try it.

Miner: [he tries it] What the hell is it?

Old Miner: You know, if this stuff is bubbling out of the ground like this, there might be enough of it here that we could sell to people!

Miner: Hey, Ben! These men came all the way from Fiddler's Camp, just to see your wife.

Ben Rumson: Well, looks like I married myself a tourist attraction.

[repeated line]

Miner: Fire in the hole!

Vauneen: [first lines - overlapping conversations] Alright ladies, let's go. I'm Vauneen, I take care of you from this point on. Ya get down, and we're going to get you to work real soon...

Deputy: Alright gents, let's hand-up your firearms.

Donald Dalglish: Why?

Deputy: It's a town's rule.

Donald Dalglish: These firearms are the property of the Central Pacific Railroad.

Deputy: That don't matter, Mr. Dillon says no firearms in town, so no firearms in town, come on...

Donald Dalglish: You can't take these weapons...

Vauneen: I said, leave that...

Deputy: Well then you can't come into Mr. Dillon's town.

Foreman: We're happy to cooperate with Mr. Dillon. Boys hand him your firearms...

Vauneen: [to overeager men] Just get back. They have to be cleaned and washed.

Miner: That one's clean enough.

[points at Hope]

Vauneen: Well, she's not with me. Let's go girls...

Miner: [to Hope] Give me a ride, and I'll give you a gold dollar.

Miner: Who'll vouch for you?
