- 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 Santley: [to Cole] How'd you get so good beatin' up women? You practice on kids and puppy dogs?
- [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.
- [Brad and Pawnee listen as Wayne kills a sentry armed with a rifle]
- Brad Santley: One .44 shot, no Winchester.
- Pawnee: Looks like your brother knew the password.
- [Wayne has learned his brother is the leader of an outlaw gang]
- Nora Blaine: The nighthawks have killed a lot of people; they'll keep on killing. You've got to tell the sheriff where to find them.
- 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.
- Joe Emery: You didn't cotton to cattle raisin', huh?
- Wayne Santley: Joe, you knew I wouldn't, didn't ya?
- Joe Emery: Well, that's all behind ya now - leave it there. Never did believe in taking shadows into new territory.
- 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.
- Molly: How's it up on the trap line? Is it safe enough for my Moose man all alone?
- Wayne Santley: Well, Molly, there's a big grizzly robbin' all the traps, but he's due to hole up any day now.
- Molly: Honey baby, I'm goin' with ya.
- Moose: Aw, Molly, woman don't trap and kill fur animals!
- Molly: Well, you do your trappin' and I'll just sit and watch for the grizzly. If he tries to bother my honey baby, I'll break his durn back!
- Wayne Santley: Brad, I guess it's been a long time since either one of us has been inside a church, but something we learned there as kids you oughta remember it right now.
- Brad Santley: Bible words don't fit my lips these days, Wayne.
- Wayne Santley: I'm not ashamed of 'em, remember? "The Lord said, 'Where is they brother?" And Cain replied, 'Am I my brother's keeper?'"
- Brad Santley: Well, here's luck to you, Wayne.
- Wayne Santley: Luck to you, Brad.
- Nora Blaine: You're both going to need it.
- Nora Blaine: What about Jonathan and the other men in the camp?
- Wayne Santley: I'm not asking anybody else to fight our battle.
- [to Brad]
- Wayne Santley: She never saw the Santley boys in action... on the same side.
- Brad Santley: So you thought I crossed ya.
- Wayne Santley: Yeah, I did.
- Brad Santley: It's a bad feelin', ain't it? I had it for five months.
- 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.
