Peter Breck: Nick Barkley

Quotes 

• Nick Barkley : I've got 3000 head of cattle, 550 miles to drive in 24 days with 40 men who don't know which end of the cow to prod - and not just our cattle, Jarrod, but Carr, DeKoven, Royce and Frye's who are still biting their nails because they had to throw their cattle in with us. Nobody gets fired!

• [Nick has just countermanded one of Heath's orders] 

  Jarrod Barkley : Nick, you just chopped his legs off at the knees.

  Nick Barkley : I'd have done it to you and you'd have done it to me!

  Jarrod Barkley : Nick, it's not the same.

  Nick Barkley : We're all Barkley's aren't we?

  Jarrod Barkley : We were born to the name, Nick, that gives us immunity.
