• Gil Favor : Young fella's gonna get his head shot off.

• Pete Nolan : I saw what I saw.

  Rowdy Yates : What do you mean: You saw what you saw?

  Pete Nolan : And I heard what I heard.

  Rowdy Yates : You and your friend, Buzz, the way I took it, you were prisoners of war, right?

  Rowdy Yates : That's right.

  Pete Nolan : Did you get took after a battle or before?

  Rowdy Yates : You gonna walk away from here?

  Pete Nolan : Nope.

  Rowdy Yates : My friend Buzz and I spent a lot of time underground. You understand? Yankee Territorial Prison at Yuma, Arizona. No one comes out of there seeing too good.

  Rowdy Yates : I've seen more men engrave their initials on guns but never anything like that.

  Gil Favor : Rowdy!

  Rowdy Yates : Yessir!

  Gil Favor : Tell him about it tonight in your own time. Get back in the cattle business, mister. We got a herd to push!
