Quotes 

• Link : [Three cowboys ride up, leading Dave Carr's horse: Nick's murdered cow-hand]  Howdy! Is this the Barkley ranch?

  Nick Barkley : That's right.

  Link : Good. My partners and I found this horse. Thought it might belong to you.

  [Link edges his horse toward Nick] 

  Nick Barkley : Stay right where you are.

  Link : Well now that's not very friendly.

  Nick Barkley : [Link moves his hand toward his gun, but Nick quickly draws his gun before him]  I wouldn't try that. You'll never make it.

  Link : There are three of us, Barkley!

  Nick Barkley : Try it, and there'll only be two of you.

  Link : All we want is the girl. Send her down and we'll ride on.

  Nick Barkley : You're wasting your time. That girl knows nothing.

  Link : Well then there's no harm in my talking to her, is there.

  Nick Barkley : [Link edges his horse forward again. Nick shoots him, clipping his ear]  Now, the next one's gonna be right between the eyes! Back off!

  Link : [Link to his men while holding his bleeding ear]  Back off... nice and slow.

• Nick Barkley : [Nick and Jennie Hall walk past a group of men outside of the saloon. Nick is carrying her basket. The men begin to laugh. Nick turns around]  Um, what's so funny?

  Cowboy in front of the Saloon : [Nobody responds until Nick turns around to continue on, and then one of the men steps forward]  You are, Barkley! You figurin' on sniffin' after her from here to Kansas?

  Nick Barkley : [to Jennie]  Uh, hold this, I'll be right back.

  [Nick steps up to the man who mouthed off to him] 

  Nick Barkley : Take your best shot.

  [the man swings and misses while Nick knocks him flat with three straight punches]
