• Tom Flaunce : I've, uh, known Doc Frail about five years since the Banik strike. We did a little business off and on. Doc could have had it rich and easy a half a dozen times, but he can't seem to get away from that little black doctor's bag of his. Maybe he carries his soul in it.

  Rune : Yeah, that's good. What soul he's got!

• Frenchy Plante : [as they're searching for the woman, he hears noise from behind a rock.]  Hey, you like to kill snakes?

  Rune : I do.

• Rune : Doc tells everybody what to do.

• Rune : [to 'Doc' Frail]  You're the damnedest, contrariest human being I have *ever* seen.

• Rune : [to Mrs. Flaunce, after she insinuates that Elizabeth was being kept by 'Doc' Frail.]  Liar. Stupid female snake! Why, you ain't even fit to crawl!
