- Jim Quince: I counted 50 critters in the last half hour, all dead and not a mark on them. I never seen the like of it, Rowdy. Jacks, and pack rats, and gophers, just like they died in their tracks. Them buzzards gonna be too fat to fly in another week.
- Rowdy Yates: Look, you want 50 head of my cattle for a pig in a poke I ain't even heard 'em squeal yet.
- Abner Cannon: I'm under contract to kill the wolves. Our dicker makes it so that we kill 'em where you are.
- Rowdy Yates: Are we paying you for this?
- Abner Cannon: Twelve cents for every set of ears we turn over.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, kill 'em then!
- Abner Cannon: No hurry about it. They'll still be around after what's left of your herd is long gone.
- Abner Cannon: Always talkin' about some fool notion like schooling. Or a house that ain't got any wheels under it. I told her, I kept telling her, that wasn't my way. But she wouldn't give in. She wouldn't stop arguing. Finally she wrote this.
- Julie Cannon: [Julie and Wish have been dickering a deal and Wish decides, as he has the better end, he needs to give her something else besides salty bacon] What's it for?
- Wishbone: Well, that's for making dreams come true, honey. Let me show you.
- [He ties the long, wide ribbon in her hair with a huge bow]
- Wishbone: Just a minute. How's that?
- Julie Cannon: [She's overwhelmed with the image in the mirror] Thank you.
- Wishbone: You're welcome, honey.
- Julie Cannon: My Ma wrote it. Just before she, before she went off. Pa says she went back East, to her sister.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, I, I can't read a letter that's to your Pa. Does he now you have this?
- Julie Cannon: He'd skin if he knew I ever went into the trunk where she keeps her things.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, I think you'd better put this back in that trunk. And leave it there.
- Julie Cannon: Then I'll never know what my Ma said.
- Rowdy Yates: No, not unless your Pa reads it to you. I'm sorry, Julie.
