Tim Considine: Spin, Spin Evans
Quotes
-
Marty Markham : Just as I suspected. The Triple R is nothing but a dirty old farm.
Spin Evans : Well, what's our dirty old farm comin' to?
-
Spin Evans : What happened?
Perkins : Just a small fracture, Master Spin, nothing to be alarmed about.
Spin Evans : What I mean is, is Marty gonna stay?
Perkins : I don't know, sir.
Spin Evans : I been talking it over with the other guys, and we decided that we wouldn't mind it if he did.
Perkins : That's our next problem. But I'm afraid his grandmama will feel that he ought to return home.
Spin Evans : Mr. Logan's in there talking to her now, and...
Perkins : What?
Spin Evans : He's in there talking to her.
Perkins : He's not on the telephone?
Spin Evans : Yeah.
Perkins : Oh, no! I asked him to wait!
-
Ollie : How many times I gotta tell you boys not to bother me while I'm doin' my weekly relaxation? Whaddya want?
Spin Evans : Is it okay to saddle this horse for Perkins?
Ollie : Perkins?
George, the cook : Nice Sunday afternoon. He take a rest? No. He play cards with Sam? No. He gotta go for ride in country.
Perkins : Good day, Oliver, Master Evans. This is my steed, I presume?
Ollie : Perkins, I'm proud of you.
Perkins : Oh, I simply decided that it was my duty to learn to ride. As long as I'm staying at the Triple R, I feel I should master the equestrian art.
Ollie : The what?
Perkins : Precisely. I really hadn't intended to bother you at all, Oliver. That's why I asked Master Evans to help me.
George, the cook : Hey, Perkins, you know what's wrong with horses? Look, no wheels!
-
Perkins : Why, I say, Oliver, I never saw a horse with such well-developed ears.
Ollie : That's 'cause it's a mule. This here's Daisy, one of the pack mules. Loyal, fearless, smart, and dependaple.
Perkins : Well, I'll just walk her around for a bit, just to get the feel of her. I won't be long.
Ollie : Perkins, this here's got the smoothest, easiest gait. Like sittin' on a rocking chair. Ain't that right, Spin?
Spin Evans : Sure, Daisy's easier to ride than a merry-go-round.
Perkins : Well, in that case, would you give me leg up, Oliver?
Ollie : Right-o.
Perkins : Upsy-daisy. There we are. Well, thank you very much, Oliver, Master Evans. Well, off we go! Tally-ho!
-
Spin Evans : Is he gonna be okay, Doc?
Dr. Spaulding : Sure, Evans, a fine future doctor you turned out to be. Don't you know you're supposed to stop these things before they happen?
Col. Logan : What do you think I should tell his grandmother?
Dr. Spaulding : If I was in your place, I wouldn't tell her anything until I've gotten a chance to look at those X-rays. Might as well give her the whole story at once.
Perkins : Yes, sir, when we return from town this evening, I'll give you all the details.
Col. Logan : All right, Perkins. Oh, Doc, Burnett's gonna follow you in the truck. Be all right if they bring Marty back tonight, won't it?
Dr. Spaulding : Of course. Broken bones don't mean anything to kids. They just scare old folks like us.
-
Spin Evans : Last year, a kid bust his arm by standing on his head in an upper bunk.
Louie : I could do that.
Spin Evans : You shoulda seen how fast his folks yanked him outta here.
Ambitious : I'll bet his grandmother's instructions didn't say anything about this.
Alfred "Al" McGrath : Grandmothers are even worse than parents about blood and stuff.
Ambitious : Poor Marty. Just when he was startin' to like the Triple R.
Frank : Liked it? He called it a dirty old farm, and he kept tryin' to run home, didn't he? So let him! Honestly, who cares about a drip like that?
Spin Evans : Why don't you stick your head in a bucket?
Rick : Boy, that guy didn't even cry.
Freddie : And it hurt, too, bad. He took out the horse all by himself, and then he fought a rattlesnake single-handed.
Speckle : I wish he had remembered to cut off the rattle for my collection.
-
Col. Logan : Spin, what are you doing here?
Spin Evans : Well, I got a letter today, sir. It's definite I can't come back to the Triple R next year.
Col. Logan : Next year's a long time off. We'll worry about it then.
Spin Evans : That isn't why I'm here. I was just wondering what it must be like to be Marty right now, waiting for a phone call, waiting for his family to tell him that he has to leave the Triple R tonight and maybe never come back.
Col. Logan : Well, that we don't know yet, boy.
-
Spin Evans : On Daisy, you got nothing but a passenger. If she decides to go sight-seein', he might not be back for a week.
Ollie : Then I guess I won't have Perkins bothering me for a while, will I?
-
Marty Markham : I'll bet you thought it was funny too, didn't you?
Spin Evans : Why do you care?
Marty Markham : He's my responsibility, that's why.
Spin Evans : If you're so worried about him, why don't you go out there and find him?
Marty Markham : You know I can't, but in a few days, I'm gonna have this cast off, and then...
Spin Evans : Then what, pedestrian?
Marty Markham : Don't call me that!
