- Jim Craig: There are a dozen good brood mares in that mob. I'll be back for them... and for whatever else is mine.
- Jessica Harrison: [viewing from horseback, after Jim saves Jessica and they kiss, a change coming in the Aussie mountain weather] It changes so suddenly. One moment it's like paradise, the next it's trying to kill you.
- Jim Craig: Yep, that's how it can be up here. But, uh, if it was easy to get to know it, there'd be no challenge. You've got to treat the mountains like a high-spirited horse; never take them for granted.
- Jessica Harrison: It's the same with people, too.
- Jim Craig: I think they're trying to make a butler out of me.
- Jessica Harrison: Well, they're trying to make a lady out of me.
- Jim Craig: Well, they won't have no luck.
- Jessica Harrison: Thank you very much!
- Jim Craig: Oh, hang on, that's not what I meant.
- Jessica Harrison: And they won't make a gentleman out of you, either.
- Spur: [Hears stones falling behind him] How'd you find this place?
- Clancy: I tracked ya.
- [laughs]
- Clancy: You silly old galah, you leave a trail like a one-legged seed drill.
- Spur: Damn you Clancy, always sneekin' around, makin' no noise.
- Clancy: I heard noise, I heard voices.
- Spur: Aha, sure sign of old age when you start hearin' things.
- [Harrison is threatening to send Jessica away to a ladies' college]
- Jessica Harrison: No! I won't go!
- Harrison: [slaps Jessica] You're as deceitful as your mother.
