Quotes
-
[Sam and Simons are brawling in the saloon]
Martha Evans : Does that look like a conspiracy to you?
Hilary : The thieves have fallen out.
-
Martha Evans : Time for me to admit that this is longhorn country; that you're its lord and master?
Bowen : A man in love is neither lord nor master of himself.
-
[first lines]
Martha Evans : What on earth are they doing?
Ellsworth : It's called bulldogging, ma'am. That's Bulldog Burnett. He works for my outfit.
Hilary : Well, it's a perfectly silly way to handle cattle if you ask me.
-
Hilary : I'll just drive along; just drive and drive and drive while you two consort.
Martha Evans : Oh, really, Hilary, do you call an innocent canter consorting?
Hilary : No, but I call a half-a-day gallop a romp.
-
Hilary : You decided to play Mr. Ellsworth's game.
Martha Evans : He certainly is not like him.
Hilary : Oh, no? One was willing to buy a bull he didn't want and one was willing to sell one he didn't have.
-
Martha Evans : How dare you hit that man!
Burnett : Well, he was going to shoot me!
Martha Evans : Now really, Mr. Burnett, you have a predisposition to violence of which I heartily disapprove.
Burnett : Yes, ma'am.
-
Burnett : Just one thing, ma'am. If you're dead set on making this trip to Texas, you're going the wrong way.
Martha Evans : Oh, thank you, Mr. Burnett. You are a very capable guide.
Burnett : Well, I can tell north from south.
-
Martha Evans : It would never be like Herefordshire.
Bowen : Aye, and it's not like Scotland.
-
Bowen : You shut your gob, woman! Out here, it's Alexander Bowen what gives the orders and you womenfolk listen to what I have to say. Is that clear to ya?
[Martha slaps Bowen's face, Burnett cracks up at the sight]
Martha Evans : You pompous, foul-smelling tyrant! I want that boy moved where he can be looked after.
-
Hilary : But I think we should go to the sheriff and have Mr. Burnett thrown into the hoosegow.
Martha Evans : The what?
Hilary : The jail, jug... *Old Bailey*.
Martha Evans : Why on Earth shold we do thing like that?
Hilary : Because they plan to kidnap Vindicator and Mr. Burnett is in cahoots with them.
Martha Evans : What's this 'ca-hoots'? Sounds awful!
Hilary : Cahoots - conspiracy. Anyway, he said he'd meet them in the pub. It has something to do with that Mr. Taylor.
Martha Evans : Hilary, Mr. Taylor is an Englishman.
Hilary : So was Captain Kidd!
-
Martha Evans : The trouble with appearances, Mr. Bowen, is while beauty is skin deep, meanness runs all the way through.
