Quotes 

• Zeke : When a man begins to do a lot of talking about hanging, he better make pretty sure as to who is going to decorate the end of the rope.

• Gussie : Zeke, did you hear that terrible crash?

  Zeke : Hear it? I seen it! That was your wagon!

  Gussie : Was my mother-in-law in it?

• Ruth Cameron : Zack, you're not really leaving us?

  Zeke : Yeah, gal, I'm pullin' out. You're all nice and settled now and this here valley is getting altogether too civilized for me. Whenever I get more than three or four families within a hundred miles of me, I begin to feel kind of crowded.

• Ruth Cameron : Look how queer his horse is acting!

  Zeke : Yeah, he's riding zigzag - that's the Indian sign for palaver. There's the chief riding out to meet him now for a powwow.

• Breck Coleman, Wagon Train Scout : Say, Zeke, who was the he-grizzly that just went by?

  Zeke : That's Red Flack. He's bullwhackin' for Wellmore. He's gonna whack Wellmore's train clear through to Oregon.

  Windy Bill : You reckon you'll ever find out who downed old Ben?

  Breck Coleman, Wagon Train Scout : It's just possible that a certain low-down coyote left his sign there.
