Quotes 

• Helen : You're a good-looking boy: you've big, broad shoulders. But he's a man. And it takes more than big, broad shoulders to make a man.

• 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.

• Helen : Kane will be a dead man in half an hour and nobody's gonna do anything about it. And when he dies, this town dies too. I can feel it. I am all alone in the world. I have to make a living. So I'm going someplace else. That's all.

• Helen : You're a good-looking boy: you have big, broad shoulders. But he's a man. And it takes more than big, broad shoulders to make a man. And do you know what? I don't think you are going to make it.

• Helen : [in Spanish]  One year without seeing you.

  Will : [in Spanish]  Yes, I know.
