"[after the movie crew pick up Lewis in the desert] Lewis Tater: You mean you guys ain't cowboys? Howard Pike: Well, sure we're cowboys. Whaddaya suppose we are? Weasels?

Wally: Reeks character. That's what they told me... reeks."
"Howard Pike: If a person saying he was something was all there was to it, this country'd be full of rich men and good-looking women. Kings and queens... you know what I mean? Too bad it isn't that easy. In short, when someone else says you're a writer, that's when you're a writer... not before."
