Bert Freed: Rufe Ryker

Quotes 

• Shane : What makes you so sure I won't shoot you?

  Rufe Ryker : Well, if I was a miner had to work around nitroglycerine every day, don't you think I'd make it my business to know just how to handle it? To know what makes it go off? You're the nitroglycerine in my valley, Shane. I think I know you pretty well.

• Rufe Ryker : It's round-up time, Shane! Don't you read your Bible? It ain't the sheep in the fold you worry about, it's the lost ones you go lookin' for.
