I'm Paul Bunyan! I'm 300 pounds of raging fury! [deflects a bullet with his axe] You're in trouble now! Don't point your little gun at me, you sissy! I can out-eat, out-swing any one of you! I'm Paul Bunyan!

Calamity Jane: Well, paint my toenails and curl my hair.
Pecos Bill: Calamity? My cactus flower!
Calamity Jane: [shoots his cigar] Don't you "Cactus Flower" me, you double-crossing dog!
Pecos Bill: I missed you, darling! If only you knew how much I've been thinkin' about you...
Calamity Jane: I know too well, you pissant, flea-infested little weasel. [shoots the ceiling, causing a bucket to fall on his head]
Pecos Bill: Calamity, you're looking mighty pretty tonight.
Calamity Jane: Trying to sweet-talk me, you hairy, overgrown, meally-mouthed, two-faced, lyin', yellow-bellied snivelling snake?! [shoots his belt off] You gutless, brainless, heartless, sidewinder!
Pecos Bill: [backed to a wall] Now, you still ain't sore about Amarillo, are you?

Daniel Hackett: I once seen a picture of New York City at night, it's all lit up with all these electric light bulbs. Can use a few of them right now.
Pecos Bill: Electric light ball?
Daniel Hackett: Light bulbs. They're balls of glass that light up hundreds of times brighter than the brightest candle.
John Henry: Go on.
Daniel Hackett: Well, pretty soon, people won't need lanterns, won't have to go chop their wood to make fires. Just turn this little knob and the electric light bulbs just come on.
Paul Bunyan: But I like chopping wood.
Daniel Hackett: Pretty soon, there won't be no darkness. It'll be like noontime at midnight.
John Henry: Well, how are folks going to see the stars?
Daniel Hackett: They just... won't see the stars, I guess.
Pecos Bill: Well, I don't like it. No siree Bob, I don't like it one... Oh... [laughs] If you ask me, I think he's telling us a tall tale.

Paul Bunyan: Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but in my day, we didn't steal from the land, we just borrowed from it.
Pecos Bill: Well, now what in tarnation are you going to do about it?
Paul Bunyan: I'm going to do as I darn well please and the rest of the world can go to the blazes!

Daniel Hackett: You're not Paul Bunyan.
Paul Bunyan: Who says I ain't?
Daniel Hackett: My pa used to tell me stories about Paul Bunyan. He said that Paul Bunyan was a giant of a man, a man who could tame a continent, a man who could look danger in the eyes and laugh in its face.
Paul Bunyan: Well, he did get those parts right.
Daniel Hackett: Well, not from where I'm sitting! Seems to me you're just hiding out, feeling sorry for yourself.
Paul Bunyan: Pecos, who is this kid?

Pecos Bill: This ain't nothin' compared to the summer of '88. It was so hot, all the chickens was layin' fried eggs and babies was cryin' sawdust. Things got so bad, the whole state of Texas lit on fire. So I hightailed it up to Kansas...
Paul Bunyan: Does this story have a point? Or does it just go on and on and on like this stinkin' desert?
Pecos Bill: Yeah, this story has a point. I blew out the dang fire! You know, I'm gettin' sick and tired of you complaining and whining all the time!
