Eric Fleming: Gil Favor

Quotes 

• Gil Favor : Pretty hard to beat it when it sets in solid - boredom. You can feel it close in like heat around your riders, watch it dull 'em to the point where the drive gets to be something they'd just as soon forget. But they can't afford to forget it. I can't afford to let 'em. My name's Gil Favor, trail boss.

• 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.'

• Gil Favor : You take them the food. If they're stranded, bring 'em on back. But remember, we're moving cattle, not picking up strays. And stay out of trouble!

• 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.

• Gil Favor : I want to smash them on the first pass. Hit men if you can, horses if you have to. But we gotta sheer them off before they bite the cattle.
