Judson Pratt: Billy Kinkaid

Quotes 

• [Bart has backed down from a gunfight with the crooked gambler Jerrems] 

  Major Bart McClelland : Billy, this country is growing up. We can't keep on running things just by brute force! If we do, we might as well turn it over to the Indians.

  Billy Kinkaid : Are you sure you're not turning over End of Track to Jerrums this way? Bart, I come through a war with ya. I seen you handle a gun.

  Major Bart McClelland : We're not at war now, Billy.

  Billy Kinkaid : Ain't we?

• Major Bart McClelland : The men have been slowin' down at work because they want to see blood. All right, so they'll see some.

  Billy Kinkaid : Bart, listen. Last night you were calm enough to reason. Now you're white with anger and ready to settle matters. What you been sayin' is right. You're here to build a railroad. You told me to cool down before. Would you like a bucket of water for your own head?
