Quotes 

• Gil Favor : Hey, Pete, tell me about Commanches.

  Pete Nolan : They're mean.

  Gil Favor : How mean?

  Pete Nolan : I'd say, man for man, they've killed more whites than any other tribe.

  Gil Favor : Commanche territory close by.

  Pete Nolan : That's over south. The Government's got them on a reservation

  Gil Favor : You figure they could become farmers?

  Pete Nolan : Farmers? What would they raise? Scalps?

• Gil Favor : Seems like the men are getting fatter than the cows.

  Pete Nolan : They could use some thinning down. As for the herd, they're as fat as they're gonna get.

  Gil Favor : Well, let's get moving before we forget the taste of dust.
