• [Sam and Simons are brawling in the saloon] 

  Martha Evans : Does that look like a conspiracy to you?

  Hilary : The thieves have fallen out.

• Martha Evans : Time for me to admit that this is longhorn country; that you're its lord and master?

  Bowen : A man in love is neither lord nor master of himself.

• [first lines] 

  Martha Evans : What on earth are they doing?

  Ellsworth : It's called bulldogging, ma'am. That's Bulldog Burnett. He works for my outfit.

  Hilary : Well, it's a perfectly silly way to handle cattle if you ask me.

• Hilary : I'll just drive along; just drive and drive and drive while you two consort.

  Martha Evans : Oh, really, Hilary, do you call an innocent canter consorting?

  Hilary : No, but I call a half-a-day gallop a romp.

• Hilary : You decided to play Mr. Ellsworth's game.

  Martha Evans : He certainly is not like him.

  Hilary : Oh, no? One was willing to buy a bull he didn't want and one was willing to sell one he didn't have.

• Martha Evans : How dare you hit that man!

  Burnett : Well, he was going to shoot me!

  Martha Evans : Now really, Mr. Burnett, you have a predisposition to violence of which I heartily disapprove.

  Burnett : Yes, ma'am.

• Burnett : Just one thing, ma'am. If you're dead set on making this trip to Texas, you're going the wrong way.

  Martha Evans : Oh, thank you, Mr. Burnett. You are a very capable guide.

  Burnett : Well, I can tell north from south.

• Martha Evans : It would never be like Herefordshire.

  Bowen : Aye, and it's not like Scotland.

• Bowen : You shut your gob, woman! Out here, it's Alexander Bowen what gives the orders and you womenfolk listen to what I have to say. Is that clear to ya?

  [Martha slaps Bowen's face, Burnett cracks up at the sight] 

  Martha Evans : You pompous, foul-smelling tyrant! I want that boy moved where he can be looked after.

• Hilary : But I think we should go to the sheriff and have Mr. Burnett thrown into the hoosegow.

  Martha Evans : The what?

  Hilary : The jail, jug... *Old Bailey*.

  Martha Evans : Why on Earth shold we do thing like that?

  Hilary : Because they plan to kidnap Vindicator and Mr. Burnett is in cahoots with them.

  Martha Evans : What's this 'ca-hoots'? Sounds awful!

  Hilary : Cahoots - conspiracy. Anyway, he said he'd meet them in the pub. It has something to do with that Mr. Taylor.

  Martha Evans : Hilary, Mr. Taylor is an Englishman.

  Hilary : So was Captain Kidd!

• Martha Evans : The trouble with appearances, Mr. Bowen, is while beauty is skin deep, meanness runs all the way through.
