Quotes 

• Cathy Reno : [Clint has just been shot after defending Vance... Cathy "Kit" Reno rushes to his side and takes him into her arms]  Just lie still.

  Clint Reno : [gasping for breath]  Kit... where's Vance? I gotta talk to him.

  Vance Reno : I'm here, Clint.

  Clint Reno : [crying]  Vance, I didn't mean it! I swear I didn't mean it...

  Vance Reno : [softly]  I know you didn't, Clint. You don't have to tell me. Everything's gonna be all right.

  Clint Reno : [looks at Kit, then at Vance]  Everything's gonna be all right

  [last lines... gasps, then dies... Kit weeps] 

  Clint Reno : .

• Clint Reno : [In a rage]  Go on, say it Cathy! Say you don't love him. You can't, can you? You think I couldn't feel it? With you lying awake beside me every night? Wishing I was Vance! Wishing you'd waited for him and never married me!

• Clint Reno : Hey! Looky here. A brand new Sunday-go-to-meeting suit!

• Ray Reno : Remember how we all used to sit out here at night and sing?

  Martha Reno : Indeed, I do, son. Brings back a heap of good memories.

  Clint Reno : Vance used to sing the loudest. This one was his favorite.

  [singing] 

  Clint Reno : Love me tender, Love me sweet, Never let me go, You have made my life complete, And I love you so, Love me tender, Love me true, All my dreams fulfilled...

• Clint Reno : [singing]  I got a heart full of dreams, And a lot of memories, And that's enough for me...

• Mike Gavin : [deliberately turning Clint against his wife and brother]  They're together now! That was the plan all along, can't you see it? Vance has got Cathy and the money. You think he's coming back? They're laughing at you, Clint. Laughing at you!

  Clint Reno : [covering his ears like a child]  No, no, it's not true! It's not true! Not Vance!

  Mike Gavin : [rubbing it in]  All through the war Vance was saying he'd marry Cathy as soon as it was over. And now he's got her! He's got your wife, and our money. And you can bet she planned it with him from the very beginning.

  Clint Reno : No, no! It's a lie! They don't... she won't... he can't

  [suddenly snaps entirely] 

  Clint Reno : I'll kill her! I'll kill her dead! I'll kill her and I'll shoot her and I'll shoot him till he's dead. Till they're both dead!

  [screams incoherently, like a maniac, while the others laugh] 

• Clint Reno : [singing]  Oh let me, Oh, honey, let me, Let me do what you know I love to do, Please take another chance and let me, Let me...
