Jill Ireland: Marian Starett

Quotes 

• Marian Starett : But you can't leave a man to die like that!

  Myra Torrey : I can't send my man out to die either. You can always find another hired hand, Mrs. Starett. Husbands don't come that easy... Ryker's got gunmen. What have we got? Farmers who belong behind plows, not guns... Just the way you're fighting for your man's life, that's the way I'm fighting for his.

• Marian Starett : Shane didn't murder anyone.

  Rufe Ryker : I guess you don't know him very well, or you'd know that murdering used to be his profession.

  Marian Starett : That's a lie!

  Rufe Ryker : What else do you call a hired gun but a murderer?
