Incident at Confidence Creek (1963)

Paul Brinegar: Wishbone

Quotes 

• Wishbone : What I got to say ain't fit for a court of law. You townfolk think you got some kind of privilege to step on us drovers. We've been swindled and shortchanged and fast-talked in every town to San Antonio. Well, I don't know very much about the Law, but I do know that's our herd, and we got a thousand miles of saddle sores to prove it.

  [the jury and the townspeople in the courtroom all laugh heartily] 

• Wishbone : $40 on the hoof at the railhead.

  Elwood P. Gilroy : $40 per cow?

  Wishbone : You don't think we're gonna give them away, do you?

  Elwood P. Gilroy : No, of course not. There were a substantial number of them as I recall.

  Wishbone : Just about 3,000 head of them to be exact.

  Elwood P. Gilroy : 3,000?
