- Espada: Nice, sky is deep blue, hills are still green, Sun's yellow as new gold.
- Richard Bloodgood: Gold? I can remember that. That's the colour of hair. Now, gold, you say? Blue, green, I can't remember them at all. Her eyes, her eyes blue as a summer day. What's crimson?
- Espada: Kind of red, ain't it? Colour of blood.
- Richard Bloodgood: Children's games, a woman's mouth. Yes, I can remember.
- Richard Bloodgood: You still walk like a fanfare, dangerous animal, not to be trusted, a vicious killer, not to be trusted. Five years, a long time, five years.
- Richard Bloodgood: Oh, yes, I'm quite blind now. Though looking for you is like looking into a black pit. Light and dark are my equal and constant companions, thanks to you. Yes, Coop, I have been trying to find you.
- Charlie Wooster: The only enemy I got around here is you, Charlie. Only I wish you'd use a gun, not this rat poison.
- Charlie Wooster: Oh, you're complaining about my cooking again, huh. Well, that's a good sign, Coop.
- Charlie Wooster: Coop, you want to tell Uncle Charlie what the trouble is?
- Cooper Smith: There's nothing to tell. And since when did I join your family?
- Charlie Wooster: Oh, when you joined the wagon train. We're all one family here, Mr Chris, Bill, Barney, you, me. Just like blood ties and brothers don't fight with each other either.
- Cooper Smith: Sometimes they do. Brothers have been known to kill each other.
- Charlie Wooster: I'm sure when they do it doesn't make God happy with them.
- Teeney: [Street sign: WELCOME TO CHINA HAT. THE FRIENDLY TOWN. WATCH US GROW. BACKWARDS] Ugh, bug juice, coffin varnish. Once upon a time they used to serve a hearty red eye. Now, you can only get this tarantula juice.
- Charlie Wooster: How long you worked here?
- Teeney: [She laughs heartily] Since the flood, I guess. I was the first one Noah let off the ark. Mrs Noah was getting upset.
- Charlie Wooster: Piney Flats, Texas? That's where you stem from, ain't it Coop? Huh?
- Cooper Smith: Yeah. What about it?
- Charlie Wooster: Nothing. I was just thinking. Must be a nice little town. You know, pine trees, pine cones, bet it smells nice there too, yessir. It's a small town, ain't it, Coop?
- Cooper Smith: Yes, it's a small town. What's your point?
- Charlie Wooster: Nothing. I was just making small talk while I tidy up. Funny coincidence, now, come to think of it, Piney Flats is where that Sangre comes from.
- Cooper Smith: What's funny about it?
- Charlie Wooster: Kind of a funny thing. People from a small town are generally neighbourly and know everybody. You and him don't seem to get on?
- Cooper Smith: How do you know he's from Piney Flats?
- Charlie Wooster: Well, I um, well, I was gathering up firewood. I got a little close to their wagon. I heard Sangre and that fella say what a beautiful town Piney Flats was and how nice the air is.
- Cooper Smith: It's a dirty town and there's no pine forest left. The air is full of the stink of the turpentine they make there. You quit snooping and keep your nose out of what is none of your business, else I gonna do something neither of us is gonna like. Is that understood?
- Cooper Smith: Janet Rose, she was as beautiful as moonlight on still water. She was the loveliest thing Sangre and I had ever seen. At the same time she was as vicious as a sidewinder. She was mean, cruel and completely heartless.
- Richard Bloodgood: You sleep about six wagons away from mine. I can hear you sigh in your sleep. The other night, in a dream probably, you muttered my name, softly, sadly, and perhaps remorsefully. I'm not sure. We've been through all this before.
- Cooper Smith: From the little Spanish I remember, sangre means blood. Espada, that's a sword used by a bullfighter, I believe.
- Richard Bloodgood: Would you have sent your man to pick us up if I had signed the telegramme Richard Bloodgood, your blood brother?
- Cooper Smith: You're planning on having your friend here kill me?
- Richard Bloodgood: No, Coop. I'll kill you. In time. You just be my guide. And with a gun. Not in the back either. Face to face. Eye to eye. Man to man.
- Cooper Smith: I'm supposed to give this greeting to all newcomers: Welcome to the Wagon Train.
- Guitarist: Janet Rose, Janet Rose. Janet Rose, I suppose, Heavens knows she played them both with the things she said, with the things she did and she said. She'd smile at one and kiss the other instead and drove them both out of their head. She flirted and she hurted until they saw red. Until the two Texans saw red. And one told the other, we'll settle with lead. Janet Rose, Janet Rose. A shot and poor Janet Rose was dead, Janet Rose, Janet Rose.
- Teeney: Mind if I take what's left in the bottle
- [only two small nips have been served]
- Teeney: ?
- Barnaby West: I can see and don't think I could shoot as good, Charlie. Some shooting.
- Charlie Wooster: You know what he said every time he shot?
- Barnaby West: What?
- Charlie Wooster: Coop, Coop, Coop. He's not target shooting, he's practising for murder.
