Eric Fleming: Gil Favor

Quotes 

• Gil Favor : Sometimes it gets right peaceful on a trail drive. You're travelin' easy in pretty country, with a trail broke herd actin' gentle as lambs. Weather's fine, air's fresh, sun's warm. That's when I begin to worry. Somethin's bound to happen. And out of all the bad things that might be, it usually turns out to be the kind of trouble you least expect. My name's Gil Favor, trail boss.

• Gil Favor : It ain't hard for a man to lose his head over money or a woman.

• Miss Katie : I should be used to insults. But I'll tell you this, Mr Favor, I've got nothing but respect for Thad Clemens and there was never anything between us.

  Gil Favor : It's not the way I heard it.

  Miss Katie : Anybody told you anything different is lying.

  Gil Favor : Then how come I found him here. With you. And did.

  Miss Katie : Anybody could have told you that. He sits over by the door, hour after hour, sitting on one beer. Staring, watching, waiting. But if he's done anything wrong, I had no part in it.

• Clint Coffee : You wasn't listening. Do sound like one of those Missouri mules?

  Gil Favor : What part of Texas you from?

  Clint Coffee : Now you got it. Tascosa.

  Gil Favor : What are you doing way up around here?

• Gil Favor : The only any of us can get along with all the people in all the places we've got to pass on the trail, is to keep a reputation for honesty and fair dealing. You're the one that stepped out of line, Mr Clemens.

• Clint Coffee : Find Clemens. Bring him back. He's the one they want.

  Gil Favor : It's a mighty big order.

  Rowdy Yates : He could be anywhere from El Paso to Mile City.

  Wishbone : Or Frisco to Boston.

  Mushy : Or Boston to Frisco.

  Pete Nolan : Why not Paris, with $15,000.

• Miss Katie : I tried to get him to stop gambling. But you can't do much against a sickness like that.

  Gil Favor : Can't or won't?

  Miss Katie : You see, he wanted to get out of the Army, become independent of his father, many things. He thought he could do it by winning a lot of money.

  Gil Favor : And you tried to stop him. That's not very business-like of you.

  Miss Katie : I don't feel very business-like about Cory Clemens.

• Gil Favor : You sure oughta know you don't get rich droving.

• Harms : I said stop 'em.

  Gil Favor : Listen, mister, you got a court order or a warrant or something?

  Harms : I got better than that. BOYS!
