Rob McLaughlin : How bad is the horse? Go back and put her down.
Jack : She'll hear the shot.
Rob McLaughlin : She'll think its thunder.

Jack : Speaking of which, you gonna put your brand on that little schoolgirl this summer?
Nell McLaughlin : You know Jack, we stopped branding our females a few years back. Isn't that right, Rob?
Rob McLaughlin : Kinda miss it, though.
Jack : Well, take it from an expert. Don't let that little Flicka get away.
Nell McLaughlin : The what?
Jack : It means uh... pretty girl or somethin'? It's what Gus calls Katie.

Rob McLaughlin : [to Nell] I didn't see the vet bill.
Nell McLaughlin : [trying to change the subject at dinner] Does someone wanna grab this last burger?
Rob McLaughlin : How much?
Nell McLaughlin : [still trying to change the subject] You know what I've been thinking about lately? If quitters never win, why are you supposed to quit while you're ahead?
Howard McLaughlin : [playing along] Or, how good can a bedtime story be if it's supposed to put you to sleep?
Nell McLaughlin : Right.
Rob McLaughlin : How much?
Nell McLaughlin : $1,648.32.
Rob McLaughlin : $1,600? That's just unacceptable.
Nell McLaughlin : Well, I'll speak to the horses.
Rob McLaughlin : I don't remember my daddy ever giving horses shots. They were healthy, they took care of themselves. Ain't that right, Gus?
Gus : Oh, sure. Back then, horses mucked their own stalls, nailed on their own shoes, even chipped in with the rent money.
