Quotes 

• Chief Tawyawp : Woman for sale?

  Richard Goffage : For sale?

  Chief Tawyawp : Give 2 knives, 2 guns.

  Gil Favor : No.

  Chief Tawyawp : Three guns.

  Ruthanne Harper : Must say I'm very flattered. Feel like the belle of the ball.

  Richard Goffage : It's not so funny, Dolly.

  Chief Tawyawp : Four guns.

  Gil Favor : Not even for 100 guns.

• Binnaburra : I have a thing to tell you.

  Richard Goffage : Are you worried about that woman? Now, listen, cobber, I know you don't like her. I know you're afraid she'll lure me down to the city and it'll be quits for you and me. But that'll never happen. I told you from the beginning and I'll tell you again. It'll be the three of us on the finest cattle run you ever saw. All right?

• Richard Goffage : I think I know what you mean, Mr Favor. You mean this is a bad match. That I'm making a mistake. I think that what you see is a woman who doesn't love me. Well, I see something else as well. I see toughness and loyalty. I see a need to settle down, take care of a house, have some kids. She was willing to marry me without love. I think that maybe love will come in time. By the way, Mr Favor, did you know she was proved innocent of that charge in El Paso?

  Gil Favor : You knew about that, huh?

  Richard Goffage : I knew about that before I asked her to marry me.

  Gil Favor : Y'know I got the feeling that you two are gonna come out all right after all.

  Richard Goffage : So long as Mr Adler doesn't come riding back again, huh? Incidentally, thanks for getting rid of him.

  Gil Favor : Oh, that was my pleasure.

• Richard Goffage : Get him! Get him! What are you waiting for? Throw that boomerang, will you! Throw it, will ya! Throw it!

  [Binnaburra misses] 

  Richard Goffage : We gotta get after 'em, Mr Favor!

  Gil Favor : It's no use, not in the dead of night.

  Richard Goffage : You never missed a mark that easy before! You wanted to miss! You wanted to get rid of her!

  Gil Favor : Take it easy, Goffage.

  Richard Goffage : You wanted to miss. You wanted to get rid of her! It's true, isn't it? Isn't it?

  Gil Favor : Take it easy.

• Richard Goffage : It's the animals I want to show you the most. Koalas sitting up in a tall tree eating his eucalyptus leaves, the platypus, the emu. Wait 'til you see the feathers I'll take from an emu to make you a bonnet.

  Ruthanne Harper : You really are full of plans, aren't you, Richard?

  Richard Goffage : I could plan for you, Dolly, all the day and all the night and never reach the end.

  Ruthanne Harper : I don't know why you're so good to me.

  Richard Goffage : I think it's the other way 'round.

  Ruthanne Harper : No, it isn't. i haven't even given you honesty.

  Richard Goffage : About what?

  Ruthanne Harper : Tell me about the baby kangaroos. What did my uncle call them?

  Richard Goffage : Joeys.

  Ruthanne Harper : Tell me about the joeys.
