Quotes
-
R.G. Posey : You can't stand it, can ya? You just can't live with the fact that I'm still riding on a horse while you're workin' like one on the ground.
Shane : Not only can I live with it, I prefer it.
R.G. Posey : Not if you ever really was a drover, you don't prefer it. You couldn't.
Shane : I could. I'm here.
R.G. Posey : Yeah. How come?
Shane : [Thoughtfully] Posey, do you know what a dinosaur is?
R.G. Posey : Nope.
Shane : Well, it's a prehistoric monster who died out because it couldn't learn to change with the times. Just like you. Just like Ryker.
R.G. Posey : Ryker ain't gonna die out.
Shane : Well, maybe not. But you will.
-
Shane : You're a loser, Posey. Born and bred. You just go on fighting and hating and beating that thick head of yours against each new day until you die out just like that dinosaur.

Joey Starett : Mom says that Mr. Ryker and the cowboys hate us just because we're different. She says hating for that kind of reason is the worst thing a man can do.
Shane : Well, it's bad, Joey. But there's worse things. Like when a man hates for money. When he gets paid to hate. When he puts money in his pocket with one hand and shells in his gun with the other.
