Incident of Decision (1962)

Clint Eastwood: Rowdy Yates

Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : How'd you know how to do all that?

  Johnny Calvin : Out of books mainly. See, I read a lot. Pa gets me books sent out from San Antone, New Orleans, sometimes even New York. I like things about doctoring especially.

  Rowdy Yates : Maybe you oughta think about going to school, become a doctor.

  Johnny Calvin : Not me. I'm gonna be exactly like you. A drover. I'm gonna go on a cattle drive the first chance I get.

• Rowdy Yates : Most drovers are half-starved, half-baked, or half-drowned. You take this place here, any one of them would walk halfway across Texas barefoot, just to have what you've got.

  Johnny Calvin : Mr Yates, when I got sick and I found out I was like this, at first I got pretty scared. But then I found out, there isn't anything I can't do. As long as I don't give up. Well, Mr Yates, I haven't given up yet. I'm still gonna be a drover.

• Hey Soos : Sleep does not come easy this night.

  Jim Quince : That's because we haven't heard your usual snoring. You thrash about like a jackass with the colic.

  Rowdy Yates : You mean something by that?

  Jim Quince : Well, I hadn't really thought about it. But there might be a little of resemblance at that.

• Jim Quince : How much is 6 times 7?

  Rowdy Yates : Ah. 42. What are you doing?

  Jim Quince : Never mind what I'm doing.

  Rowdy Yates : Counting your profits already?

  Jim Quince : Can't a man do a little figuring? Look, if we got $35 a head for them...

  Rowdy Yates : Better get them steers there first.

  Jim Quince : That's true.
