Episode Quotes
Ben Victor: Well, you’re James West, of course.
James: I--I didn’t know it showed.
Ben Victor: But it does. The incorruptible eyes, the Federal jut of the jaw.

Ben Victor: Well, Mr. West, got any answers?
James: No, but I have some questions.

Morn: I am glad you talked me into coming on a... what are we on?
James: "Pic-nic."
Morn: Yes, a "picnic." And I like your Earth food. What is it?
James: What you're eating came from a bird.
Morn: A bird? A singing bird?
James: It's a chicken, and chickens don't exactly sing.

James: Artie, you got the girls?
Artemus: (wrestling with the three girls) They're right here. All thirteen of them!

James: Well, Maggie got a year, the other two 5 to 10, and Victor got 10 to 20.
Artemus: Well, it's not enough. Hanging's too good for anyone who'd turn another man green.
James: Oh, Artie, you're going to be the sensation of all the dinner parties in Washington. Nothing but invitations.
