- Rowdy Yates: That train ain't in sight yet.
- Jim Quince: Kinda glad. Don't think I could stand all that noise.
- Joe Scarlet: Must have been something wrong with that whiskey they served back in town. I've never heard of a three day hangover before.
- Jim Quince: That sure was a good horse you used to have.
- Rowdy Yates: Well, that was before I met the girl from Glen Falls, New York.
- Jim Quince: I don't remember hearing about no girl from Glen Falls, New York.
- Rowdy Yates: Yeah, that's funny. I been thinking about her. I have a feeling Glen Falls never heard of her either.
- Jim Quince: Glen Falls, New York is a long ways from Sedalia, Missouri. I guess the train fare kinda cleaned you out, huh?
- Gil Favor: But you got a jail though.
- Ben: Yeah, usually they don't have any more customers over there than I have in here. I guess it's just a big day for both of us.
- Jim Quince: Somebody in jail?
- Ben: Yeah, horse thief.
- Rowdy Yates: How do you know that?
- Ben: Oh, a small town like this, anybody sneezes, everybody wipes their nose.
- Rowdy Yates: Boss, don't ask any questions, we wouldn't want to lie to you. And you wouldn't want to hear the truth.
- Gil Favor: Fair enough. That leaves five of us on foot in the middle of the Missouri.
- Wishbone: Oh, I ain't ashamed to tell yer. It was a couple, three nights ago. I wandered into one of those saloons in town. Purely by accident. I was looking for a glass of milk. Anyway I don't remember much. There was this woman who'd original come from Glen Falls. New York.
- Rowdy Yates: Both horses, Wish?
- Wishbone: Well, she was ailing pretty bad.
- Tom Wilson: You calling me a thief?
- Gil Favor: I'm saying that somebody is.
- Tom Wilson: Maybe you lost the money. Or gambled it away. Maybe you think by accusing me, you can get yourself out of trouble.
- Gil Favor: Did I know I was going to be arrested, have my thing taken away from me so I could plan this thing?
- Tom Wilson: If there was money, and it was stolen, then I'm the one who could have stolen it.
- Gil Favor: The you're the man who stole it.
- Miss Winkle: Harkness.
- Mushy: It's just.
- Miss Winkle: Harkness!
- Wishbone: Well, he must be right fond of you to tell you his given name.
- Mushy: Well, Harkness was my grandfather's name, on the Musgrove side.
- Miss Winkle: I said Mr Wilson. I didn't say any other name
- Gil Favor: Who else might you have mentioned?
- Miss Winkle: If I was a gossip, Mrs Wilson.
- Gil Favor: I don't care much for gossip, Miss Winkle.
- Miss Winkle: Neither do I.
- Gil Favor: Of course, there are times.
- Miss Winkle: And this is one of those times. Mrs Wilson.
- Jim Quince: You know it's a funny thing. There ain't a drover born that don't go every other breath on the trail and cussing the day he become one.Y ou take him off the trail now.
- Joe Scarlet: I'm hungry.
- Jim Quince: Well, that's what I mean. You're pushing cattle north. There ain't no whiskey to drink. There ain't no pretty girls to look at. There's nothing but beeves and dust. Sure you get fed regular.
