- Gil Favor: Those cows have a right to bellow. On a drive like this, they often have to go for days without grass or water. The men drivin' 'em have a right to gripe. Often they have to go without food, water, and sleep. I have a right to worry about both, man and beast. That's part of my job. I'm Gil Favor, trail boss.
- Rowdy Yates: Wait a minute. There's one right over there. Well, it's good to see someone wearing pants, looks like they belong in them. Tell me more about this place, Mister.
- Liz Viner: You always go around putting your foot in your mouth, Boy?
- Gil Favor: Right about now might be a smart idea to try saying you're sorry.
- Rowdy Yates: Something's wrong, huh?
- Gil Favor: Hmph!
- Rowdy Yates: Well, they look unhappy to me.
- Gil Favor: They are.
- Rowdy Yates: You got the same feeling I have, there's gonna be a break tonight?
- Gil Favor: I get the feeling we better get our herd moving. Even over this rough terrain.
- Rowdy Yates: No matter what, huh?
- Gil Favor: 'Fraid we've run out of choices.
- Clement: You're free and easy with our money, ain't ya?
- Joe Scarlet: Well, Viner, he took a chance getting the dynamite. He doesn't have to take us in, you know.
- Clement: What's the use of us breaking our necks to break out if we give the money away?
- Joe Scarlet: Who says we gotta give it away? All we gotta do is get out.
- Jennie Cooper: Fort Worth. Mr Viner took me there a couple of times. I saw the prettiest hat in that town that I ever laid my eyes on. Real perky straw, all covered in violets. He hated it.
- Ann Macauley: We'll find the dynamite. And maybe it'll have your initials carved on each stick. I'm not letting you leave here until that money is returned to the State.
- Joe Scarlet: Look, I told you a thousand times, I lost it. I dropped it in the river when I was trying to get away.
- Tod Macauley: [after some negotiation with Favor] You better give us those horses or we'll blow your herd all over the valley.
- Gil Favor: No horses.
- Tod Macauley: You know it's two years since they let me see you, and I thought I remembered how you look. And how you felt.
- Rowdy Yates: I thought the warden said they didn't blast at night.
- Gil Favor: Maybe the convicts had other ideas.
- Tod Macauley: I didn't want you to worry any more than I had to.
- Ann Macauley: I thought it was all over. It is, isn't it?
- Tod Macauley: I didn't hurt anybody by keeping that money. You don't see Wells Fargo going out of business, did you?
- Ann Macauley: It's not your money, Tod!
- Tod Macauley: I earned it with five years of hard labour.
- Tod Macauley: I said the drovers are playing rough.
- Kellino: The drovers are smart. Did it ever occur to you that drovers could be smart? Did you tell 'em?
- Tod Macauley: Tell 'em what?
- Kellino: About the dynamite? Did you tell 'em?
- Mushy: Now it's not an original thought, but they can only hang us once, no matter how many men we kill.
- Pete Nolan: Why'd you stop him? If you hadn't stopped him, I'd be dead by now. It'd be a burning inside of me but it wouldn't be shame. In a minute the burn'd be gone. And everything would be all right again. 'Cos everything would be over. Why did you stop him?
