Prudy Quotes in Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969)

[Jason and Prudy are talking about how the Danbys are gathering to come after the sheriff]

Prudy: Have you figured what you're gonna do?

Jason McCullough: More or less.

Prudy: What?

Jason McCullough: Oh, I thought I might just leave town. Just get out of town before they ride in - just ride out and keep on goin'.

Prudy: I don't believe it.

Jason McCullough: Well, I don't know why not. I've never made any secret of the fact that basically I'm on my way to Australia. And I don't think I'm gonna find a better time to get started than right now. Besides, uh, I don't like the odds.

Fred Johnson: I heard that the sheriff was gonna leave town.

Henry Jackson: I did too, And at the time I heard it, I remember saying to myself, "That sheriff has his head set squarely on his shoulders."

Prudy: Well, now he's NOT gonna leave town.

Mayor Ollie Perkins: And I'd like to get my hands on whoever it was that caused him to change his mind.

Henry Jackson: Me too. Man with that good an idea oughta be encouraged to hold on to it.

Prudy: What is the matter with all of you? Don't you remember how long we waited to find a man who'd stand up to the Danbys? Don't you remember what this town was like before - murderings, lynchings, miners shooting up the town day and night?

Fred Johnson: And aside from the few things that you just mentioned, it wasn't a bad place at all!

Jason McCullough: Why do these jaspers always have to hit town at meal time?

Prudy: You gonna kill another man?

Jason McCullough: Well, I'm sure we all hope it turns out that way.

Prudy: I said it before and I'll say it again: The men in this town are nothin' but a bunch of lowdown, miserable, cowardly curs!

Mayor Ollie Perkins: As your father, I may have to take that kind of talk from you; but as the mayor of this town I sure as hell don't. Throw her out, boys... and don't be too gentle with her!

Jason McCullough: After we're married - no matter how many kids we got - when I say we're off to Australia... we pack up, kids and all, and off we go.

Prudy: What do I wanna go to Australia for?

Jason McCullough: Because that's where your husband would be. And girls usually go where their husbands are.

Jason McCullough: [after Prudy shoots and kills 2 men] Ain't you ever heard of just wounding them?

Prudy: I only know ONE way to shoot, and that's to kill.
