Quotes
-
Seaborn Tay, Cattle Rancher : I don't know you, cowboy, and you don't know me, but if you got any ideas about bucking trouble, I'm afraid you're going to have to go it alone.
Conn Conagher : You want to help me?
Seaborn Tay, Cattle Rancher : Well, I'm up into my 70s, boy. And I got a bum ticker to boot. I was kind of hoping to just live out my days and not die out on some sandy slope with lead in my guts. If they get me out on that range, they'll kill me for sure and then just take my cattle as they please... with nobody to stop 'em.
Conn Conagher : What if they come after you?
Seaborn Tay, Cattle Rancher : If they come after me, I damn sure will fight.
Conn Conagher : You better keep a rifle handy.

Johnny McGivern : Why didn't you draw on Kiowa?
Conn Conagher : You mean, was I afraid? Staples didn't need killing. He needed to be taught a lesson.
Johnny McGivern : He'd had killed you if he had the chance.
Conn Conagher : He might have. But I'll tell you something, kid. Any man who kills when he could do otherwise is crazy. Just plumb crazy. Some men take to a side of killing, Johnny. Just make sure when the killing time comes, you're standing on the right side.
