• Helen : I don't understand you. No matter what you say. If Kane was my man, I'd never leave him like this. I'd get a gun. I'd fight.

  Amy : Why don't you?

  Helen : He is not my man. He's yours.

• Helen : What kind of woman are you? How can you leave him like this? Does the sound of guns frighten you that much?

  Amy : I've heard guns. My father and my brother were killed by guns. They were on the right side but that didn't help them any when the shooting started. My brother was nineteen. I watched him die. That's when I became a Quaker. I don't care who's right or who's wrong. There's got to be some better way for people to live. Will knows how I feel about it.

• Hotel Clerk : You're Mrs. Kane, ain't you?

  Amy : Yes.

  Hotel Clerk : You're leaving on the noon train?

  Amy : Yes.

  Hotel Clerk : But your husband ain't?

  Amy : No, why?

  Hotel Clerk : No reason, but it's mighty interesting. Now, me, I wouldn't leave this town at noon for all the tea in China. No, sir, it's going to be quite a sight to see!

• Amy : Don't try to be a hero! You don't have to be a hero, not for me!

• Will : Stay at the hotel until it's over.

  Amy : No, I won't be here when it's over. You're asking me to wait an hour to find out if I'm going to be a wife or a widow. I say it's too long to wait! I won't do it!

  Will : Amy!

  Amy : I mean it! If you won't go with me now, I'll be on that train when it leaves here.
