Cook, Culpepper Outfit : You really got the itch, ain't ya?
Ben Mockridge : Well, yeah, I do. I guess all I want to do is punch cows and ride and, well, just cowboying. There's nothing better than that. That's all I want.
Cook, Culpepper Outfit : Kid, cowboying is something you do when you can't do nothing else.
