- Gil Favor: On the Sedalia Trail, the weather's like a Texas woman: contrary and full of little tricks to keep a man off balance. No use tryin' to outguess either one of 'em. If they give you trouble, all you can do is pray for a change, hope for the best. I've had a passing acquaintance with both. Name's Gil Favor, trail boss.
- Rowdy Yates: Bond Street, San Antone.
- Tompkins: Bond Street, London, sir.
- Rowdy Yates: London, England?
- Tompkins: London, England.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, a fancy dress party.
- Tompkins: Formal attire, sir.
- Pete Nolan: Did we have to send Rowdy?
- Wishbone: That we do.
- Pete Nolan: Why?
- Wishbone: Well, I could say because Mr Favor figures he learnt to buy cattle, And I could say it's because we need you here to scout. But the real reason's because me and the crew can't stand any more of his jokes.
- Rowdy Yates: There's a big difference between counting cattle and counting sheep, Pete.
- Pete Nolan: Yeah? What's that?
- Rowdy Yates: Well, when you're counting cattle, you don't fall asleep.
- Pete Nolan: Aw, come on.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, I suppose a cattleman shouldn't count sheep, being treason or something like that.
- Laura: You like the house, Mr Yates?
- Rowdy Yates: Well, one thing's for sure. I ain't seen anything like it.
- Laura: My father had an architect build it. It's Georgian.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, I live in Georgia two, three years ago.
- Laura: Not Georgia, Mr Yates, King George.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, what's he got to do with it?
- Laura: The, the Georgian period.
- Rowdy Yates: Sure.
- Ashley: I'm sure Mr Yates has seen a man drunk before. You know, Mr Yates, it's a funny thing, my daughter doesn't like to see me drunk. So if you'll excuse me.
- Oneewa: It would be better if you rode away. Now.
- Rowdy Yates: I've just been invited for dinner.
- Oneewa: It would be better if you rode away.
- Rowdy Yates: [Rowdy is almost distraught as his clothes have disappeared] I can't find my clothes.
- Tompkins: I have them here, sir.
- Rowdy Yates: Them?
- Tompkins: Yes, dinner is almost ready, sir.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, great, I'm hungry and everything, but what the.
- Tompkins: We dress for dinner, sir.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, I ain't exactly planned on coming down for dinner like this.
- [Rowdy is dressed only in a towel wrapped around his waist]
- Tompkins: [Thompkins laughs] Very good, sir.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, great. Where're my clothes?
- Tompkins: I took the liberty, sir, of putting them in the laundry tub while you were taking a bath, sir. They were very dusty, sir.
- Rowdy Yates: Dusty? They were filthy. Drovers' clothes always are.
- Tompkins: Well, they'll be quite dry in the morning and I shall iron them very carefully, sir.
- Rowdy Yates: What are you trying to do? Get me thrown me off the drive?
- Rowdy Yates: Seems like I've been making a fool of myself.
- Winch: You had her help. So did I.
- Rowdy Yates: I ain't much at apologies, Mr Winch.
- Winch: Find me someone who is and I'll take lessons. I'm like you, Mr Yates, I didn't come into this natural. Most I wanted to be was to be a foreman when I started. I never met people like the Ashleys before. They live in a different world.
- Rowdy Yates: Why do they do that?
- Winch: They're English somebodies, Bluebloods, I guess is the word. Trying to keep something alive that can't be kept alive out here. Tradition.
- Rowdy Yates: Listen, Laura, I didn't know you before yesterday. And tomorrow I'm riding back to the herd. So what I have to say doesn't mean much.
- Laura: Say anything you want, Mr Yates, anyone can now.
- Rowdy Yates: I had supper at your place last night. In the garden I kissed a very beautiful girl. It meant a lot to me.
- Laura: Last night you didn't know it was a squaw.
- Rowdy Yates: I wasn't kissing a label or a name. It was a woman. I won't forget her for a long time. Unless.
- Laura: Mr Yates, I'm the English lady whose elegance impressed you, even frightened you at dinner last night, didn't it?
- Rowdy Yates: Yeah, yeah, it did that.
- Laura: And, afterwards, when you kissed me, you thought you were kissing a lady, didn't you. Well, you were wrong. You were kissing a squaw. Aren't you ashamed of kissing a squaw?
- Rowdy Yates: Look, it didn't make no difference to me.
- Laura: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.What I don't want, I don't want your charity or your money.
- Winch: Your horse has been fed. So have you. Pack your gear and go.
- Rowdy Yates: That's up to Sir Ashley and Miss Laura.
- Winch: On this ranch it's up to ME!
- Rowdy Yates: Well, next time, we're gonna send Pete. Y'see, people, they're, well, beeves are a lot easier to get along with.
- Wishbone: I wouldn't be surprised what you're right.
