Miss Jones Quotes:

  • Miss Jones: I've been around a lot of cowhands, one way or another. A cowboy dresses from the top down. The first thing on is his hat. And he undresses from the bottom up. Last thing off... hat. Oh, and another thing - to be a cowpuncher, that don't mean you actually got to go around punching them, you know.

  • Carbo: All this hardware... I ain't never been in a gunfight.

    Miss Jones: Killing a man don't prove you're a man.

  • Miss Jones: Rosie, how many times you been married?

    Rosie: Eleven. Ten without a preacher or license.

    Miss Jones: Well, did you love any of 'em?

    Rosie: Oh, all of 'em! Every one of 'em! The good and the bad. It's a shame to waste all that prime beef on a guy serving three to five in a prison. Do you keep in touch?

    Miss Jones: Oh, he's kind of a lousy letter writer.

    Rosie: A lousy bank robber, too.

  • Miss Jones: For a family who don't know a jackass from a mule, you sure know a lot about the West.

  • [Matthews ignores Carbo's challenge for a gunfight]

    Mister: You done right. A boy lookin' for a reputation is the most dangerous thing alive.

    Norfolk: It certainly wasn't worth dyin' for.

    Miss Jones: What is?

  • Reporter: To the West!

    Norfolk: Awesome and inspiring.

    Jack Parker: I don't see what's so inspiring about a flash flood or a blizzard, or a landslide or a sandstorm or a dust storm or any sudden disaster, personal or financial. Today the desert will broil you royal, tomorrow the mountain will freeze you stiff. That's your West: violent, treacherous. Every prairie dog hole is a gold mine, every molehill is a mountain, every creek is a river and everybody you meet is a liar.

    Miss Jones: When you call me that smile, stranger.

  • Miss Jones: The people some people marry.

  • Miss Jones: What's your name?

    J. Pierpont Finch: Finch, F-I-N-C-H. J. Pierpont Finch.

    J. Pierpont Finch: Well, ma'am, I'm not supposed to deliver the executive mail. That's his job. Bud Frump, F-R-U-M-P.

  • Miss Jones: Your wife is on line 2, Mr. Biggley.

    J. B. Biggley: Tell her I'm busy, tell her I'm in a meeting, tell her I'm out, damnit, put her on!

  • Miss Jones: He was a nice boy, but somebody's head has to roll.

  • Dr. Wells: Miss Jones, I shall need your assistance.

    Miss Jones: [eyeing Wells' dinner companion] Yes, well at your age I'm not surprised.

    Dr. Wells: With an autopsy!

    Miss Jones: Oh, well that's different.

  • Dr. Wells: Miss Jones, allow me to introduce Professor Alexander Saxton. He dabbles in fossils and bones.

    Miss Jones: [laughs] For a woman, he means.

  • [about the condition of a dead man's brain]
