Nella Turner:
Ben, it was a long walk out here and my feet are killing me. Will you take my boots off?

Colonel Ben Allison:
[Eating rabbit cooked by Nella] You sure give a honey and molassas flavor to this rabbit

Nella Turner:
That's not honey and molassas-that's just girl

Maria the Dressmaker:
[Spraying Nella with perfume] When Senor Stark smells you... haha! Ooh la la senorita, he go *wild*... haha!

Nella Turner:
Then take it away, because I'm not much in the mood for runnin'!

Maria the Dressmaker:
Ah, you run a little and *then* you stop a little... and when you *want* Senor Stark to catch you, *then* you sit down in a big chair!
