Richard Ney: Oliver Weatherford

Quotes 

• Oliver Weatherford : You see, the fountainhead of all business principle and practice is the law of supply and demand. They operate inexorably. Now when the supply is greater than the demand, well, the influence on the bargaining power is effected proportionally.

• [during the Indian attack, Weatherford hides behind a large rock] 

  Sundance : All right, you can come out now.

  Oliver Weatherford : But they'll be back, won't they?

  Sundance : Likely, yeah.

  Oliver Weatherford : We're outnumbered. We don't have a chance!

  Sundance : You could be right, Mr. Weatherford. I reckon this is one time your law of supply and demand isn't operatin' in your favor.

• Sundance : I don't know about you, but I'm gonna have me a cup of coffee.

  Oliver Weatherford : You-you mean you're just gonna sit there and wait for them?

  Sundance : Well, I suppose we could go lookin' for 'em, but that seems a little more obligin' than the situation calls for.

• Oliver Weatherford : Tell you what I'll do, though. I'll let you have the wagon and everything in it for the horse.

  Sundance : That ain't much of a bargain. You was goin' to leave the wagon here anyway.

  Oliver Weatherford : Well, I'll buy the horse from you!

  Sundance : Oh, wait a minute. I-I don't see how I could do that. I mean, my horse is like blood kin to me. I expect Mr. Donagan over there feels pretty much the same about his.

  Oliver Weatherford : Well, then I'll buy the mule from you. He's not a distant cousin.

  Sundance : No, but he's a good friend. He's loyal, trustworthy - never talks back.

• Oliver Weatherford : You're taking advantage of me just because you can.

  Sundance : No, I just learned my business methods from you, that's all. Now you told me - you said, "Price is affected by the law of supply and demand." Now, I got the supply and you got the demand. You'll pay five hundred dollars for this mule or you'll have to walk.

  Oliver Weatherford : I'll get the money.
