- Gil Favor: On the Sedalia Trail, pushing a herd of three thousand mixed head, you're always a long ways from nowhere. Ahead - trouble, known and unknown. Behind - owners depending on the drive, counting on men crazy enough to push it. Like me - Gil Favor, trail boss.
- The Stagecoach Driver: Well, I told 'em about the Executioner, only turning up when when he's after somebody.
- Mary: Mr Favor, we're all grateful to you for taking us along.
- Rowdy Yates: Want me to see about him, boss?
- Gil Favor: It's open prairie, he's got a right to ride out there. As long as he doesn't bring trouble in to us.
- Gil Favor: Rowdy, we want to be able to reach water before dark, but we won't be able to if we have to stop to bury him.
- Gil Favor: [to Kenley] You pour any more water on the ground out here, you'll be on your knees lapping up mud.
- Gil Favor: Carrying anything of value?
- The Stagecoach Driver: No.
- Kenley: Yeah. Me.
- The Stagecoach Driver: Don't mind him. These people are trying to help us, Kenley. He's another of those fast guns. Or so he says.
- Johnny Doan: To some people, freedom's just a word that means being alone. I've come into some land, a ranch. I want to settle down. She wants to be in motion.
- Kenley: All this moving around sounds like you might be moving away from something, lady.
- Johnny Doan: You know you're always irritating somebody. First one, then the other.
- Kenley: I can take care of it, sonny.
- Rowdy Yates: Sometimes a man chases trouble so hard, it catches him.
- The Salesman: It's my samples case, sir. Ladies' undergarments, things like that.
- Rowdy Yates: Better let him take it with him, Mr Favor, the lady there, she, ah, she loses things.
- Pete Nolan: Gunfighting's like poker. When you're desperate, you lose. You win when you don't give a hoot.
