Eric Fleming: Gil Favor

Quotes 

• Jim Quince : Sorry, Boss.

  Wishbone : Oh, yes, it's broke good.

  Gil Favor : Could do with shooting yah, huh, Jim.

  Jim Quince : Might as well.

  Wishbone : Mushy! Get me a couple of barrels of salve and some rags.

  Mushy : Yes, sir.

  Jim Quince : Get me a cup of whiskey! One way of getting a drink out of this outfit!

• Pete Nolan : On the cattle trail?

  Tod Stone : That's funny. I didn't read in the Good Book that the Lord decreed this range was just for cattle.

  Gil Favor : You know cattle can't follow sheep. All we want is passage around your flock.

  Tod Stone : I don't blame you. Best grass is always up ahead.

• Pete Nolan : Well, there's a sight that'd give an honest man a fit.

  Rowdy Yates : So you see moon-faced range hogs? Smell of them makes me sick to the stomach.

  Pete Nolan : How could any self-respecting human being ever get started in such a business?

  Gil Favor : [sneering]  Takes all kinds.

• Gil Favor : YOU NUMBSKULLS! YOU PLOY-HEADED, LEAD-BRAINED, BROKEN DOWN JACKASS! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T FIGURE HE'D COME OUT HERE!

• Tod Stone : You must be surrounded by a chronic pack of liars. Any cotton-headed fool knows that you can't stampede sheep. Oh, it's true. My flock did get a little restless last night about 1,1.30.

  Gil Favor : Call it what you want. Sorry about the extra trouble we put you to.

  Tod Stone : Well, you apologise to the wrong shepherd, Mr Favor. My dog round up the sheep. See, he works, and I fish.

• Rowdy Yates : We can't go 'round 'em and we can't go behind 'em. What are we supposed to do? Sprout wings and go over 'em?

  Gil Favor : I always knew if you kept talking long enough, you was bound to come up with something smart.

  Rowdy Yates : Huh?
