- Rene Lebeau: Look, Mr. Fane. You never asked for the money until the round up was over before.
- Fane - Storekeeper: Now, things are different now. Your father was alive then.
- Rene Lebeau: Am I so different from my father?
- [first lines]
- Josh Teller: You should have let out when we told you to.
- Stan Bates: You do like Mr. Teller says, Talby.
- Talby: I got wages comin'. Without a horse, I would be...
- Josh Teller: I'm giving you a horse and there will be fifty dollars in the saddle bag.
- Talby: I like to earn my keep.
- Josh Teller: You have. The hard way.
- Herbie Teller: [to Talby] You stay away from Laramie, do you hear? Huh?
- Josh Teller: That's what the fifty dollars is for. Distance. Part Indian is all Indian with me. You made the mistake of working for a Sioux squaw. No white man's got the right to do that.
- Josh Teller: No call to hit a man after he's beat, Herbie. It ain't civilized.
- Herbie Teller: He was back talkin', Pa.
- Josh Teller: That ain't why you hit him! You stay away from that Indian girl.
- Herbie Teller: You had to tell him, didn't you?
- Stan Bates: That's just part of my job, Herbie. Looking after you.
- Josh Teller: Them savages killed my brother. I watched them howl and laugh when they did it. He was your blood kin. Don't you ever forget it. Now, get to bed.
- Fane - Storekeeper: Two women have got no business trying to run a ranch.
- Rene Lebeau: Why don't you say what you really mean?
- Fane - Storekeeper: Why, I don't know what you're talking about.
- Rene Lebeau: You don't? Well, I'll help you. What you really mean is two Indian women.
- Fane - Storekeeper: Now, I never said that.
- Rene Lebeau: Only because you haven't got the backbone to come right out with it.
- Rene Lebeau: That's my land and I'm going to hold onto it. And you print that same advertisement, Mr. Tate. And you put a line under the part that says man. There must be one somewhere in Wyoming.
- Marshal Dan Troop: I heared Josh Teller offered you a fair price for that place, Rene. Maybe your mother would be happier in town.
- Rene Lebeau: I was born on that land, Marshal. I love it. My roots go real deep and nothin's going to change that.
- Fane - Storekeeper: Hmph. Savages, that's what they are.
- Marshal Dan Troop: Are they? You didn't think so when her father was alive.
- Fane - Storekeeper: Well, he kept them in line. And that's what they need, somebody to keep them in line. Uh, what can I do for you, Marshal?
- Marshal Dan Troop: [disgusted] Not a thing.
- [Troop starts to close the door, then reopens it]
- Marshal Dan Troop: Better keep this open. Air's bad in here.
- Rene Lebeau: It isn't easy to live in two worlds. And she follows the Indian way.
- Marshal Dan Troop: There are worse things than being honest.
- Rene Lebeau: Should I be honest? Would you like that?
- Marshal Dan Troop: No.
- Rene Lebeau: And my Indian blood has nothing to do with it, of course.
- Marshal Dan Troop: Just so there's no doubt, you're all woman Rene. And the man that gets you will be lucky.
- Rene Lebeau: But you don't turn love on and off like water from a pump.
- Marshal Dan Troop: I came along when you needed me. You're young. There'll be someone else.
- [last lines]
- Marshal Dan Troop: I, uh, I wouldn't plan on leaving town.
- Stan Bates: I'll drop by and see you as soon as I can ride.
- Marshal Dan Troop: No hurry. Take all the time you want. In the meantime, I'd listen to Miss Lebeau. She's got all kinds of... interesting ideas.
- [turning to Rene]
- Marshal Dan Troop: Remember that lucky man we were talking about? How lucky can ya get? He's still alive.
