• [while July Johnson helped Gus McCrae attack the bandits' camp, July's friends were murdered by Blue Duck] 

  July Johnson : It was my fault! Hell, you told me to stay.

  Gus McCrae : I know I did, son. And I'm sure you wished you had. But yesterday's gone, we can't get it back. Now you go on with your digging.

• July Johnson : [Gus walks up on July's bunch in the dark]  Who were they shootin' at?

  Gus McCrae : They were shootin' at me! This is Captain Augustus McRae, Texas Rangers. Now, don't shoot me; I'm walkin' in.

  Gus McCrae : [Shaking hands with July]  Augustus McRae. Those were Blue Duck's boys. I've been chasin' him. He stole a woman and I'm tryin to get her back.

  July Johnson : July Johnson, I'm sheriff in Fort Smith, Arkansas. This is my deputy Roscoe Brown, this is Joe and Janie.

  Gus McCrae : July Johnson! You're that Arkansas sheriff came down lookin' for Jake Spoon. If you're lookin' for Jake, you missed him by about 200 miles.

  July Johnson : I'm not looking for Spoon right now. I've got more urgent business in the North.

  Gus McCrae : I've got to go after Blue Duck. I expect he's up on the Canadian somewhere. If I could trouble you for the loan of a horse, I'll return it and probably a few more.
