Comanche Station (1960)

Richard Rust: Dobie

Quotes 

• Dobie : I still don't like it. My folks brought me up to be kind to a woman. You know, yes ma'am... no ma'am. Open doors for them. Give them my chair. Not go around killing them.

• Dobie : A man does one thing, one thing in his life he could look back on... go proud. That's enough. Anyway, that's what my pa used to say.

  Frank : He talked all the time, didn't he.

  Dobie : Yeah. He was a good man. Sure is a shame.

  Frank : Shame?

  Dobie : Yeah, my pa. He never did amount to anything.

• Dobie : A saddle and a shirt, that's all Frank had. It sure ain't much.

  Jefferson Cody : Sure ain't.

  Dobie : It wasn't his fault, though.

  Jefferson Cody : No?

  Dobie : No, he never knew anything but the wild side.

  Jefferson Cody : A man can cross over anytime he has the mind.

  Dobie : It ain't that easy. It ain't that easy at all.

• Frank : You want to go to work, do you?

  Dobie : Work?

  Frank : Making an honest living?

  Dobie : Oh, no, I don't think I could do that. I could cowboy some.

  Frank : Well, what will that get you? You work yourself to death for somebody and likely they will have to take up a collection to bury you.

• Dobie : Me and Frank were riding together up Val Verde way. Frank was alone, same as me. And we heard about this fella who was looking for some young guns. We've been with him ever since.

  Jefferson Cody : You'll end up on a rope, Dobie. You know that.

  Dobie : Yes, sir.

  Jefferson Cody : You could break with him.

  Dobie : I've thought about that. I've thought about that a lot. Frank says, "A man gets used to a thing."

  Jefferson Cody : Dobie, when we get to Lordsburg, you can ride with me for a ways. A man gets tired being all the time alone.

• Jefferson Cody : [Seeing Frank has been murdered]  We're gettin' out of here.

  Nancy Lowe : You're not going to leave him like that?

  Jefferson Cody : Yes, ma'am!

  Dobie : That ain't right, Mr. Cody.

  Jefferson Cody : Not talkin' about right. Talkin' about stayin' alive. I'll turn those stage horses loose. They can take care of themselves from now on.

  Nancy Lowe : Mr. Cody, you can't leave here until you give that man a proper grave.

  Jefferson Cody : You want to end up again belongin' to a Comanche buck?
