- Del Lingman: There's only one thing make me give up killing this kid.
- Vicki Woodruff: What?
- Del Lingman: [Long dramatic pause] You.
- Vicki Woodruff: Never.
- Del Lingman: I hope you made your goodbyes 'cos that's the last time you're gonna see this kid alive.
- Jim Quince: Hold back him from what? This two-bit puppy baiting session he's got going here.
- Del Lingman: It's a fair fight. Your man against ours
- [Line belongs to Woodruff's hand, not Lingman]
- Jim Quince: Fair? You call this fair? Your man's the only one toting a gun.
- Del Lingman: The kid can pick up the gun any time he wants.
- [Line belongs to Woodruff's hand, not Lingman]
- Del Lingman: Pick up the gun.
- Roman Bedford: Hi, Quince.
- Jim Quince: Hi. Time you turned up. You planning on sleeping through the first week of your job?
- Roman Bedford: No. I wouldn't miss it for anything.
- [Young lady goes by in a one horse buggy]
- Roman Bedford: Well, almost everything. All these mudfloors, a young lady could be in distress.
- Jim Quince: Hey, that's a fool way to get a pocketful of horns
- [Roman is going against the flow of the beeves]
- Roman Bedford: Shouldn't be any problem, Miss Woodruff. Angels do fly.
- Vicki Woodruff: Well, I do believe I might need some help
- [He carries her over a huge deep puddle to the front steps]
- Jim Quince: I can tell you this. when a steer goes on the hook, he gets mean and stubborn, enough to charge a grizzly bear or go over a cliff or make a meal on jimson weed. It doesn't matter. You know it's gonna to kill him. But you don't let him do that. You're going to circle him and haze him back to the herd or rope him and tie him down until he cools off.
- Rowdy Yates: The trouble is that we're talking about a man, not a steer.
- Jim Quince: I'll buy that. But a rope will hold him.
- Roman Bedford: Savannah is a large city, Miss Woodruff. No one can know everyone. I don't recall the name but I do recall your father's face. Seems to me that I've seen it in the newspapers.
- Mason Woodruff: The young man is mistaken.
- Vicki Woodruff: But you can't be sure, Father. A man in your position may easily be in the newspapers and not be aware of it. When was this?
- Roman Bedford: Shortly after the war.
- Mason Woodruff: It was a long time ago. I would think Mr Bedford too young to be involved in the Civil War.
- Roman Bedford: Too young to have served in the war, Sir. But not too young to remember.
- Mason Woodruff: You're mistaken, Sir.
- Simon Blake: If you think I'm going to stand by while a big man bullyrags a kid, you've got another thought coming, mister.
- Del Lingman: Putting a high price on a pair of pants, aint you?
- Jim Quince: Perhaps you'd like to pay for them.
- Del Lingman: Any time, mister.
