Quotes 

• Bret Maverick : Well, as my old pappy used to say, "If... if you haven't got something nice to say about a man, it's time you change the subject."

• [first lines] 

  Bret Maverick : [narrating]  Hollow Rock, Wyoming wasn't a town you'd ordinarily go a long way to visit. But a lot of people overlooked this every July 4th. Because on that holiday, Hollow Rock put on the best Quarter Horse race in the country.

• Bret Maverick : As my old pappy used to tell me, he said, "Never play in a rigged game unless you rig it yourself."

• [last lines] 

  Bret Maverick : Don't ask me why I did it, I had a very good reason at the time. Just didn't work out.

  Col. Arnold Taylor : I would ask you why, but I might not like the answer. So I'll ask a favor instead.

  Bret Maverick : Anything at all, colonel.

  Col. Arnold Taylor : Next time you visit Hollow Rock, don't make it on the Forth of July.
