- Lucas McCain: Well, it's new and mighty fine country.
- [Mark turns around and stares behind him]
- Lucas McCain: There's no lookin' back. We've come too far.
- Mark McCain: I wasn't really lookin' back, I was just remembering back.
- Lucas McCain: What do you say we start from here?
- Vernon Tippert: Mr. McCain, will you do me a favor? If that boy of yours, Mark, ever gets any funny ideas, you tell him I said he's the lucky one.
- Lucas McCain: Why you wet nosed, two bit little punk, you couldn't whip me in ten years. So don't go spouting off about going into that saloon! Now, you shut up and listen! I want you to stay here. If I don't come back, that boy of mine is your responsibility. You get on our horses and get out of here. Do you understand? I'm not askin' you Vernon... I'm tellin' ya'.
- Mark McCain: My pa, he doesn't use pistols. He uses a rifle, but he's pretty fast too.
- Vernon Tippert: No man with a rifle is faster than a man with a six gun.
- Mark McCain: My pa is. When we was living in the nations, they used to call him the Rifleman. He's the greatest shot in the world.

- Judge Hanavan: Mr. McCain, I take it you're leaving town.
- Mark McCain: That's right, Judge.
- Judge Hanavan: North Fork is beginning to grow up, Lucas. We're going to need people like you to help it. I hope you'll stay.
- Lucas McCain: Well, what do you say, son? You still want that ranch?
- Mark McCain: Yahoo!
- Jim Lewis: McCain, just how good are you?
- Lucas McCain: I'm good enough.
- Jim Lewis: I hope you're not too good.
- Lucas McCain: That might be a bit costly for you, wouldn't it?
- Lucas McCain: Why don't you take off that badge?
- Sheriff Fred Tomlinson: I'll tell you why, Mr. McCain. Because as long as I wear it, I can do a little good. Not much, but a little, and that's better than not at all.
- Sheriff Fred Tomlinson: Lewis has been around here now almost four years. During that time, a lot of things have happened. A lot of people have been buried. He don't lose, Mr. McCain. Not ever.
