• Ben Jode : President Cleveland's proclamation will be issued any day now and the claims will be filed through the Red Dust land office just like I figured.

  Henchman Clyde Flint : That's what Parker's been telling me.

  Ben Jode : Who's Parker?

  Henchman Clyde Flint : The land agent here.

  Ben Jode : Can we get to him?

  Henchman Clyde Flint : I already got to him. He likes to play roulette. He owes me $6500.

  Ben Jode : So he's been buckin' that crooked wheel of yours, huh?

  Henchman Clyde Flint : [hurt]  Oh, Ben. Let's say out of balance... It sounds much nicer.

• Trent Parker : Why that's wholesale claim jumping!

  Ben Jode : Let's dispense with that term, Parker. I prefer to call it land promotion.
