David Carradine: Shane

Quotes 

• Tom Gary : I come out here from Wisconsin to own my own. I can go out there and take up a handful of dirt and it's mine!

  Shane : You try to kill Ryker, the only dirt you'll own will be tossed in a hole on your head.

• Marian Starett : Tom will be all right soon, won't he?

  Shane : [Shane looks Marian in the face, remains thoughtfully silent] 

  Marian Starett : You don't think so?

  Shane : It's hard to say. Once I was cleaning the stable. I found a spider web. I tore it down. Next day it was there again, so I tore it down again. It went on for about ten days. Spider building its web, me tearing it down. Then slowly the web began to change. Angles weren't precise anymore. They were twisted, out of balance. It was as though the spider was trying to find a design that couldn't be destroyed. He never found it. And I don't know if he ever built a proper web again.

• Rufe Ryker : I didn't come cryin' for help! I can take care of myself. Any sodbuster try'n ambush me is gonna end up six feet under. But this is somethin' else. He's gone loco. Shootin' at his own people!

  Shane : Why should that bother you, Ryker?

  Rufe Ryker : Fightin's one thing. I don't want an addled man on my conscience. He's one of your'n. You do somethin' about him.
