Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Lou Banks : Well, that does it, Sam.

  Sam Wellman : Well, according to my figures, we should have about five hundred head bottled up in the canyon. How'd you make out with the Bannion stock?

  Jack Marlin : They got away with about half his herd. We can pick up the rest whenever we want 'em without any trouble.

  Sam Wellman : Now listen, I don't want any killings. Understand?

  Jack Marlin : Now who said anything about killings?

  Sam Wellman : Well, I know you. You'd put a slug in your grandmother if she got in your way.

• Lou Banks : We've cleaned out this territory, Sam. How about unloadin' 'em to the Army.

  Sam Wellman : Not yet.

  Lou Banks : We can get on hundred dollars a head right now and that's not bad!

  Jack Marlin : It sure isn't, considerin' all we invested was a little energy. I think Lou's right. Five hundred head at a hundred dollars a head that's, ah, that's...

  Sam Wellman : Don't strain yourself, kid, that's fifty thousand.

• Sam Wellman : When you've forged as many bills of sale as I have, you'll see how simple it is.

  Jack Marlin : Well, I hope you don't writer's cramp from forgin' 'em.

  Sam Wellman : Well, I only hope that you keep those fancy six-shooters of yours in their holsters. You know when the government starts investigatin' murders, it ain't so easy to fool 'em.

  Jack Marlin : You know as well as I do that we have to start usin' guns sooner or later.

  Sam Wellman : Well, let's make it later and we'll be safer.

  Jack Marlin : Anytime from now on is later, so you do the thinkin' and leave the shootin' to me.

  Lou Banks : Yeah, and I'll do the worryin'.
