Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : What's he gonna do with that?

  Louise : It will be cooked.

  Rowdy Yates : A lizard?

  Louise : When there's nothing else.

  Rowdy Yates : I've seen people hungry, but not like this.

• Pete Nolan : What do you make of him? Who's gonna come at us hard?

  Rowdy Yates : He's out of his mind. That's what I make of him.

  Gil Favor : Maybe he's out of his mind. Maybe not.

  Rowdy Yates : What do you mean?

  Gil Favor : Not sure what I mean just yet. It's just something about him. He finally let us catch him, talked just enough to make it interesting. He didn't say who was after him, just 'them.'

• Louise : It doesn't matter. In this country, nothing matters. In this country, a woman is less than a dog, and much less than a horse.

  Rowdy Yates : A pretty girl saying stuff like that.

• Storekeeper : Where'd you get it?

  Rowdy Yates : Why?

  Storekeeper : You better tell me.

  Rowdy Yates : A girl gave it to me. A girl I met out on the prairie.

  Townsman : You think that story's gonna wash?

  Gil Favor : What's this all about, Mister?

  Storekeeper : There's engraving on this. Says Laura L Benton.

  Gil Favor : So what about it?

  Storekeeper : The Bentons were slaughtered by the Comanches, ranch looted and burnt out.

  Townsman : Only two kinds of people'd have that looking glass now, Comanches, or Comancheros. You don't look like a Comanche.

• Rowdy Yates : I see she didn't keep the present very long.

  Jim Quince : Now you wouldn't have waste this pretty little thing on her kind.

  Rowdy Yates : I don't know what she'd want to do with it once it's been around your filthy neck.

• Wishbone : I only need a dollar and you wouldn't be giving it to me. You'd only be putting it on account. On account of the poker losing you owe me.

  Rowdy Yates : Right. Being as you're putting it that way.

  Wishbone : The way I put it? Well, where'd you get a thing like that?

  Rowdy Yates : I guess that girl gave it to me.

  Wishbone : [laughing]  Well, ain't that the daintiest! What's you keeping it hid for? 'Fraid somebody's gonna catch you checking your beautiful curls?

  Rowdy Yates : Now, look here, Wishbone.

  Mushy : It's real purdy, Mr Rowdy. Silver frame. I didn't know you had anything like that.

  Wishbone : Where's the powder puff that goes with it?

  Rowdy Yates : Tell me something, Wishbone. Do you want that dollar I owe you?

  Wishbone : Well, you're mighty well told you I do.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, you can just whistle up your elbow for it.
