The Man from Snowy River

Rosemary Hume:
Male company will be a pleasant relief in this hothouse of female emotions.

Jim Craig:
I think they're trying to make a butler out of me.

Jessica Harrison:
They're trying to make a lady out of me.

Jim Craig:
Well, they won't have no luck.

Jessica Harrison:
Thank you very much!

Jim Craig:
Now hold on, I didn't mean...

Jessica Harrison:
I don't suppose they'll have any luck making a gentleman out of you, either.

Jim Craig:
There are a dozen good brood mares in that mob. I'll be back for them... and for whatever else is mine.

Jim Craig:
United in death, the minister said.

Spur:
Superstition.

Jim Craig:
It's a nice thought, Spur.

Spur:
It's a great comfort to widows and fools. There's more to life than death, Jim.

Harrison:
You have a long way to go yet, lad.

Spur:
He's not a lad, brother, he's man. He's a man!

[Harrison is threatening to send Jessica away to a ladies' college]

Jessica Harrison:
No! I won't go!

Harrison:
[slaps Jessica] You're as deceitful as your mother.

Curly:
I'm studying to be supervisor

Jim Craig:
[to Curly] Studying to be stupid.

Jessica Harrison:
If I'd wanted your help, mate, I would've asked for it.

Frew:
[rising in bed with his lever action rifle as Curly advances on Jim with a broken bottle] Curly - lose the bottle!

Frew:
[c*cks the lever action rifle as Curly stops and stares] I did it before... and so help me, I'll do it again.

[Curly drops the bottle]

Curly:
[to Jim Craig] I heard you broke in more then the colt while we were away...Did you have to use your spurs boy!

Spur:
[Hears stones falling behind him] How'd you find this place?

Clancy:
I tracked ya. [laughs] You silly old galah, you leave a trail like a one-legged seed drill.

Spur:
Damn you Clancy, always sneekin' around, makin' no noise.

Clancy:
I heard noise, I heard voices.

Spur:
Aha, sure sign of old age when you start hearin' things.

Moss:
[rising in bed with his shotgun as Curly advances on Jim with a broken bottle] Curly - lose the bottle!

Moss:
[c*cks the shotgun as Curly stops and stares] I did it before... and so help me, I'll do it again. [Curly drops the bottle]

Jim Craig:
I'm not hiding beneath the skirts of a bunch of women.

Jessica Harrison:
[viewing from horseback, after Jim saves Jessica and they kiss, a change coming in the Aussie mountain weather] It changes so suddenly. One moment it's paradise, the next it's trying to kill you.

Jim Craig:
Yep, that's how it can be up here. If it was easy to get to know it, it would be not challenging. You've got to treat the mountains like a high-spirited horse; never take it for granted.

Jessica Harrison:
It's the same with people, too.

Spur:
Don't throw effort out to foolishness!

Spur:
I haven't had this much feminine attention in years.

I don't make the orders. But when I give them, that's the end of it.
