Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  [after a long chase, Red ropes a wayward calf] 

  Buckskin Blodgett : Well, nice little longhorn. Red, your sure did rope that critter and in good fashion, too.

  Red Ryder : You starting to get the idea, Little Beaver? You see, son, you just try to drop the loop over the calf's head. It's easy to do once you've had the practice.

  Little Beaver : Me practice, you betchum.

• [referring to the near gunfight and street brawl that just occurred] 

  Red Ryder : Now, what was that all about?

  [handing Red the latest edition of the town's newspaper] 

  Little Beaver : Here, Red Ryder. Me find-um - this make-um trouble.

  Red Ryder : Gerry, don't you know better than to make unsupported accusations like that?

  Gerry Brooks : Unsupported? Why, ever since Frenchy Beaumont opened up that hotel, Devil's Hole has been worsening...

  Red Ryder : Now look, Gerry, already three of Devil's Hole's most solid citizens have lost their lives to Frenchy in a fair gunfight. Are you aimin' to be next?

  Gerry Brooks : Do you call those murders fair, gunnin' them down the way he did?

  Buckskin Blodgett : Well, nooses to neckties, he didn't shoot 'em in the back, did he? They were all shootin' at the same time, wasn't they? They were facin' each other, weren't they, in one of them duels that Frenchy insists on fightin'?

  Red Ryder : You know, you got a break today when he just sent that vulture of his after you. That should be a lesson. Well, I'll be seein' you, Gerry - I hope.

• Red Ryder : How'd you like to ride into Devil's Hole with me?

  Buckskin Blodgett : Why sure, let's go to town. Today's the day that the News Bulletin comes out.

  Red Ryder : Why are you so all-fired anxious to see that newspaper? Do you read "Harriet's Hints to the Heartbroken"?

  Buckskin Blodgett : Well, naturally... uh, say you-you don't?

  Little Beaver : Ha-ha. Buckskin couldn't snap up faster than you trip-um steer, Red Ryder.

  Red Ryder : Well, if that's all that's been goin' on around Devil's Hole lately, that newspaper should make pretty interesting reading.
