- Gil Favor: It's not the roundin' up and the ropin' and the brandin' of the cattle that's the big problem for ranchers. It's gettin' 'em to market - fifteen hundred bone weary miles from the southern tip of Texas to the railhead at Sedalia. That's where I come in. Gil Favor's my name - trail boss.
- George Washington Wishbone: You're the only one I know that can make a chow bell whisper. Put some muscle into it.
- Harkness 'Mushy' Mushgrove III: CHOW!
- Marshal Wilt Jackson: We've been on the road with that human dynamite four days. We cover a three hundred miles area. We pick up freight from ten jails.
- Gil Favor: You'd think it's be simpler for the judge to travel rather than the other way 'round.
- Marshal Wilt Jackson: Not enough judges, too many jails, not enough unbiased juries. Don't be too hard on Art, it's heavy work.
- Matt Hays: Sure reminds me of home, Norm. The short-grassed country in the Mississippi. Yeah, there the water makes you thirsty, the squirrels live underground and the spiders got fur. Yeah, sure miss it. There's something darn right attractive about the plain cussedness of nature.
- Marshal Wilt Jackson: Is that why you sold whiskey to Indians on Government land, Matt?
- Matt Hays: To improve the state of my pocketbook, Marshal.
- Lennie Dawson: Dallas? You got any objections to seeing that Deputy go under?
- Dallas Storm: No objections.
- Gil Favor: Better walk in the other direction. You never saw a woman yet that you haven't fallen for.
- Rowdy Yates: Look, Mr Favor, after dark, when I'm not on night herd, my time's my own, huh.
- Gil Favor: Looks more like the Tumbleweed wagon is mighty touchy. But I'm not telling yer, just asking.
- [Rowdy goes off in the other direction]
- Matt Hays: Out of patriotism this lad left his home in Philadelphia to join the Army. He's scared to death of horses, so naturally they put him in the Cavalry.
- Gil Favor: I didn't realise you had so much religious training.
- Dallas Storm: Enough to know that them that pray the loudest are the biggest hypocrites.
- Dallas Storm: They didn't know he was going blind. He couldn't see anybody let alone shoot 'em. And the people of the town, the decent folk, all they wanted to do was forget it ever happened. Well, I didn't let them forget. There were a lot of empty seats at supper tables in that town by the time I was through.
