• Rowdy Yates : I have to admit I'm a little confused.

  Mr. Teisner : Mr Yates, I raise trotters back east. The best horse in my stable is named Big Dan. Two years ago he lost a race that he should have won hands down. Cost me twelve hundred dollars. But he hasn't lost a race since. And he's made me ten times that twelve hundred.

  Rowdy Yates : Yeah, well, it's not quite the same thing, is it? That's gambling.

  Mr. Teisner : Listen, son, every time a cattle man turns around, he's gambling. On whether to ship this year and break even, or hold off a year, and maybe make a big profit. Or take a big loss. He gambles on drought, flash floods, thunderstorms, Indians. Just about anything you can name. But more than anything else, he gambles on the men that drive his herd for him. Man or horse I want the best that's available.
