The Big Trees

Daisy Fisher:
It's lucky for you that I only learned how to write, not read.

Daisy Fisher:
[to Frenchy] You stye on the eye of a flea on a thigh of a nit on the neck of a gnat!

Jim Fallon:
Stop thinking so hard, Frenchy. You're liable to get yourself a bad headache.

Alicia Chadwick:
[Speaking about Jim] Men have been known to change.

Walter 'Yukon' Burns:
Oh, lady, even I have been given up by women reformers! The biggest mistake a woman can make is to pick the wrong man and try to make him right. Why don't you go off somewhere and have a good cry and forget him?

Elder Bixby:
Violence is not our creed.

Walter 'Yukon' Burns:
Yeah, I know. And I believe in turning the other cheek... but you just run out of cheeks. It's time to start growing some religious muscle.

Judge Crenshaw:
Mr. Burns, I've heard you were an honest man and good with a gun. But I also heard you confessed to weakness for liquor, cards and women.

Walter 'Yukon' Burns:
Not women, your Honor. They ain't for the weak.

Daisy Fisher:
What is this, a hotel or a nursery?

Alicia Chadwick:
A baby was just born here, thanks to Jim.

Daisy Fisher:
Congratulations...

Jim Fallon:
What do you mean "thanks to Jim"?

Daisy Fisher:
I'd better get out of here. It might be catching.

Jim Fallon:
[Referring to Alicia] What a gal!

Walter 'Yukon' Burns:
You chigger-pickin' Don Juan! You just try pitchin' hay with her, and I'll shoot that lump you call a head right from under your cap!

prologue:
In 1900 the Congress of the United States passed a law which made a young man in Wisconsin decide to prove - that money growas on trees.

Daisy Fisher:
[to Jim about Alicia] Lucky for you my father never owned a shotgun - what about hers?

Jim Fallon:
[to Frenchy] I just want you to know I can see through that swamp you call a brain!

Judge Crenshaw:
[Watching the fire destroy the claims building] This is the most satisfying act of God I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing.

Walter 'Yukon' Burns:
[Referring to the giant sequioas] Biggest, boldest things in the whole world!

Walter 'Yukon' Burns:
[to Jim] Make you feel kinda small?

Jim Fallon:
Nope... big! I'm the one that;s gonna knock 'em down!

Jim Fallon:
[Noticing the group of Quaker women with their distinctive attire] What are they all dressed up for?

Frenchy LeCroix:
There's a hallelujah colony around here... soul savers... rigid and religious.

Jim Fallon:
[Referring to Alicia] The dark-haired one can save my soul anytime.

Gray:
[to Jim] None of these religious colonists ever bother to accumulate much cash.

Alicia Chadwick:
There's no need to.

Walter 'Yukon' Burns:
You see, Jim, these are wonderful folks. They'll give yuh everything they got. If they haven't got anything to give you, they'll say a prayer for you.

Walter 'Yukon' Burns:
You're gettin' in a rut, Jim. You'd better look out, and when a rut becomes deep enough, it becomes a grave... and you gotta couple partners likely to put you in it.

Elder Bixby:
[to Jim] The giant sequoias are more than trees, friend. They are the everlasting sign of our Creator's work... 4000 years old... as old as the Book and the Faith.
