Joan Staley: Nora Blaine

Quotes 

• Wayne Santley : I was just thinking about how different it is when you're not in the Army. You know, you're the first girl I've been this close to in over eight months.

  Nora Blaine : Eight months in the wild and I picked you for a traveling companion?

  Cole Fender : No cause for concern, Miss Blaine. I'm here to protect you.

• [Wayne and Nora kiss] 

  Wayne Santley : How am I doing?

  Nora Blaine : Very sweet and tender.

  Wayne Santley : You know, my barracks room buddies would be shocked to hear I'm sweet and, um, so on.

• [Wayne has learned his brother is the leader of an outlaw gang]

  Wayne Santley : Do you know what you're asking?

  Nora Blaine : When a man's hands are stained with blood, he forfeits all kinship rights.

• Nora Blaine : You speak with considerable authority about sin. Are you, by chance, a preacher?

  Jonathan : I am a duly ordained minister, young woman.

  Nora Blaine : Is it not as much your duty to prevent sin as cast it out?

  Jonathan : Such is the will of the Lord.

  Nora Blaine : Then, if you will, we'd like you to marry us.

• Nora Blaine : What about Jonathan and the other men in the camp?

• Wayne Santley : What got us this way? It used to be us two against the world.

  Brad Santley : It's the same way again, kid - us two against five.

  Nora Blaine : *Three* against five.

• [last lines] 

  Wayne Santley : Brad sure would have gotten a boot out of this. He woulda brought a present for her.

  Nora Blaine : He already gave her the most important present she'll ever get - the future.

  Wayne Santley : One dies, one's born... I guess we're all our brother's keeper. If we could only remember it.
