Quotes 

• Slim Barrett : Tell the boys the time you ate them Indians, huh? Come on!

  Joe Capper, Trailhand : Ah, I only ate but one injun in my whole life. An even then it was just a haunch.

  [a little later] 

  Paul Curtis : Hey, old Joe would be rather fighting Indians all the time, wouldn't you, Joe? Look at him, boss. It makes him hungry just thinking about it.

  Joe Capper, Trailhand : Ah, cut it out, will you, Curtis? I was near starving to death. In fact, I didn't even know that injun. Anyway, I threw away everything except for one haunch.

  Paul Curtis : Which haunch did you keep, Joe?

  Joe Capper, Trailhand : Well, the left one, of course! The right one is the working haunch. They're always tough.

• Doc Bender, Trailhand : What about this fellow Reece?

  Paul Curtis : He's all right if you're all right.

  Doc Bender, Trailhand : When does he pay off? At the end of the run?

  Paul Curtis : You ask him for what's coming in the middle a river crossing, and he'll pay you off. He'll pay you off in dry bills.
