It's a whole new west. July '99.
On July 2nd, it's a whole new west.

Quotes:

President Grant: And you, West, not every situation calls for your patented approach of "shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more and then when everybody's dead try to ask a question or two."

Artemus Gordon: She's a breath of fresh ass.::Capt. James West: Pardon me?::Artemus Gordon: What?::Capt. James West: You said "ass."::Artemus Gordon: No, I didn't. I said, "It's nice having her on board, she's a breast of fresh air."::Capt. James West: Let's just get some shut ass.

Dr. Arliss Loveless: Mister West! How nice of you to join us tonight and add COLOR to these monochromatic proceedings!::Capt. James West: Well when a fella comes back from the dead, I find that an occasion to STAND UP and be counted!::Dr. Arliss Loveless: Miss East informs me that you were expectin' to see General McGrath here. Well, I knew him years ago, but I haven't seen him in a COON's age!::Capt. James West: Well, I can see where it'd be difficult for a man of your stature to keep in touch with even HALF the people you know.::Dr. Arliss Loveless: Well, perhaps the lovely Miss East will keep you from bein' a SLAVE to your disappointment!::Capt. James West: Well, you know beautiful women; they encourage you one minute, and CUT THE LEGS OUT from under you the next!

Capt. James West: Loveless has kidnapped metallurgists, so whatever he's building is going to have armor. He's kidnapped chemists, so it'll have explosives. And you've said that Rita's father is the biggest expert on hydraulics in the world, so it's going to move. What could he be building that will make the president surrender the U.S. Goverment?::Artemus Gordon: A bedside heater.::Capt. James West: What?::Artemus Gordon: Rita. She could use a bedside heater. It gets rather cold back there.

[hanging out of the 80-foot spider, which is dangling over a cliff]::Arliss Loveless: Well, I'll be a MONKEY'S uncle! How how did we arrive in this DARK situation?::Capt. James West: I don't know, Dr. Loveless. I'm just as STUMPED as you are.

Dr. Arliss Loveless: We may have lost the war, but we haven't lost our sense of humor. Even when we lose a lung, a spleen, a bladder, thirty-five feet of small intestine, two legs, and our ability to reproduce all in the name of the south, do we EVER LOSE OUR SENSE OF HUMOR?

Capt. James West: Let me tell you something about your beloved art of disguise, Gordon. That night at Fat Can's, it wasn't a difficult task to tell that you weren't a woman.::Artemus Gordon: I was propositioned by three men!

[Gordon produces a notebook and pencil on wrist springs]::Capt. James West: You know, you could put a gun on that.::Artemus Gordon: Then where would I keep my pencil?

Capt. James West: I thought I'd go as a government agent who's going to shoot and kill General Bloodbath McGrath.::Artemus Gordon: An armed Negro cowboy costume in a room full of white, Southern, former slave-owners. You'll win first prize.

[Gordon zaps McGrath with his hypno-belt]::McGrath: What's this?::Artemus Gordon: Why, it's a deep, deep pool. Maybe it's your old swimming hole, General. Are you feeling sleepy?::McGrath: Yes, I'm sleepy.::Artemus Gordon: Good. Now you're going to be my little doggy, and when I say "speak" you're going to tell me everything I want to know. Understand?::McGrath: Woof!::Artemus Gordon: Good boy. Now, which scientist is that in the next room? Is it Dr. Escobar? Speak!::McGrath: [panting] Woof! Woof!::Artemus Gordon: You can speak words, you stupid mutt.
