Quotes 

• Matt Hays : Sure reminds me of home, Norm. The short-grassed country in the Mississippi. Yeah, there the water makes you thirsty, the squirrels live underground and the spiders got fur. Yeah, sure miss it. There's something darn right attractive about the plain cussedness of nature.

  Marshal Wilt Jackson : Is that why you sold whiskey to Indians on Government land, Matt?

  Matt Hays : To improve the state of my pocketbook, Marshal.

• Matt Hays : Out of patriotism this lad left his home in Philadelphia to join the Army. He's scared to death of horses, so naturally they put him in the Cavalry.

• Matt Hays : I'll follow anybody who can show me an exit.
