John O'Hanlan
- John O'Hanlan: How much money do you want, Harley?
- Harley Sullivan: Fifteen or twenty dollars ought to do me.
- John O'Hanlan: What do you need it for?
- Harley Sullivan: Things.
- John O'Hanlan: Well, what kind of things?
- Harley Sullivan: Just-just things. You know, like a drink of whiskey if I wanted it, or a new shirt or something.
- John O'Hanlan: You already have two shirts. You don't want to wear but one of them at a time unless it's winter.
- Harley Sullivan: There you go thinking like a Republican again.
- John O'Hanlan: Well, you don't bring up politics while you're borrowing money, Harley. It ain't seemly!
- Harley Sullivan: Did I ever tell ya how my Uncle Charlie got stoved up?
- John O'Hanlan: No, Harley.
- Harley Sullivan: His home set right out in the prarie. One day he went in the outhouse and got caught right in the middle of a stampede. When he went in there wasn't a cow in sight. A few minutes late 365 longhorns ran over him. Broke him up something terrrible. That was nineteen years ago and he's still constipated.
- Jenny: Did you ever love a woman, Johnny? I mean, really love her?
- John O'Hanlan: Yeah. Thought I did once. Come to find out it was indigestion.
- John O'Hanlan: Harley, with this much money, I can... I can... I can... Heh! What would you do?
- Harley Sullivan: John, if I had that much money and already had a business, I guess I'd just live high on the hog for as long as it lasted.
- John O'Hanlan: [testily] That's not what a shrewd businessman would do, Harley!
- Harley Sullivan: You asked me what I'd do!
- John O'Hanlan: That was my first mistake!
- John O'Hanlan: Well, how much time do I have?
- Marshal Anderson: Oh, three days at the most. They live quite a ways out of town. But trouble rides a fast horse!
- John O'Hanlan: When you're out on the range with nobody to talk to most of the time but your horse, you do a lot of dreaming. And I dreamed of being a man of property. But you know... you know Mr. Willoughby, and I didn't realize it then, but I've always been a man of property. I have my horse. I have my blanket and I have the whole West to ride in. How could a man own more than that? No, Mr. Willoughby, I'm a cowboy. Always have been... I know now I always will be.
- Jenny: When I was young, I had all sorts of dreams. There's something awfully sad about an old dream.
- John O'Hanlan: Yeah, I know. When I was a boy down in the panhandle, that was before I slipped my hobbles, I was a real stargazer. I tell you, Jenny, I dreamed and I planned big things. And then I started drifting... and I've been drifting ever since.
- John O'Hanlan: I don't like to say this about my own brother, but he just never was what you'd call an outstanding citizen. The truth is, he, well, he wasn't worth the sweat on a waterbag.
- Harley Sullivan: What kind of business you figure your brother left you?
- John O'Hanlan: Well, the letter don't say - but that's just like a lawyer. They don't tell you no more than it takes to confuse you. But it's a... something called the Cheyenne Social Club.
- Harley Sullivan: Do you know how to make Indian whiskey, John?
- John O'Hanlan: No, Harley.
- Harley Sullivan: Well, you take a barrel of Missouri River water and a couple of gallons of alcohol and some strychnine to make them crazy, and tobacco to make them sick. An Indian wouldn't figure it was whiskey unless it made him sick. Add a few bars of soap to put a head on it and then a half-pound or so of red pepper to give it a kick. Put some tumbleweed in, boil it until it turns brown, and that's Indian whiskey.
- Harley Sullivan: What are you lookin' at?
- John O'Hanlan: You.
- Harley Sullivan: Why?
- John O'Hanlan: I don't know. You look different some how.
- Harley Sullivan: What do you mean different?
- John O'Hanlan: John, its kind of hard for me to put my finger on.
- Harley Sullivan: Well, try Harley. Use 'em all.
- John O'Hanlan: Solid. Solid. Respectable. Republican. Business. That's what makes America, Harley.
- Harley Sullivan: Our folks were Democrats, John.
- John O'Hanlan: Yeah and look where it got you. A lifetime on the range and sweat in the Summer and freezin' in the Winter and sleepin' on the ground and fightin' wolves and the rattlesnakes and - oh, no, Harley. There can't be a finer calling in the whole world - than being a Republican businessman!
- Harley Sullivan: I don't like to dispute you, John; but, didn't you always vote Democratic!
- John O'Hanlan: Well, well, that was when I didn't know any better.
- John O'Hanlan: I never knew you were married.
- Harley Sullivan: Well, John, it ain't something I like to talk about, but I was married once. And once is enough for any man. You can't smoke, chew, dip, drink, scratch in the parlor, or cuss. When you leave the house, they ask you where'd you go. And when you come home, they ask you where have you been. And right now with you, it is just like when I was married.
- John O'Hanlan: Why, how is that, Harley?
- Harley Sullivan: Well, John, when a woman's talking to you, you can be pretty sure that she thinks she's in control. And when she's not talking to you, you can be pretty certain you're in control.
- John O'Hanlan: Harley, I want... want you to do me a favor. Don't ever tell anyone here in Cheyenne I voted Democratic. You'll do that for me, won't you?
- Harley Sullivan: If you say so.
- John O'Hanlan: Thank you.
- Harley Sullivan: John, you don't mind if I still vote Democratic, do you?
- John O'Hanlan: Just so long as you're not seen with me when you do it. Be bad for business.
- Harley Sullivan: I thought you know me better than that, John, after all the years we rode together.
- John O'Hanlan: Well, I guess it just goes to prove that you never really know a man until the chips are down and you need him the most.
- John O'Hanlan: Well, how much money does he need to get her liver fixed?
- Jenny: Five hundred dollars.
- John O'Hanlan: Five hundred dollars for a liver?
- Jenny: That's what the big doctor in Chicago charges. And he's got all kinds of fancy letters in back of his name.
- John O'Hanlan: I don't care what's in back of his name! Five hundred dollars - that's more than you have to pay for a good horse!
- John O'Hanlan: Harley, this is more money than I ever dreamed! Do-do-do you know what I can do with this much money?
- Harley Sullivan: We passed some nice looking saloons.
- John O'Hanlan: Will you tell Mr. Willowby I would like to talk to him?
- Harley Sullivan: He's still in the Doc's office.
- John O'Hanlan: I didn't know he was sick.
- Harley Sullivan: He weren't until you started that fight. He was hit in the face with a piano stool, so they say. I hear that saloon looks like it was in the path of a buffalo stampede.
- John O'Hanlan: All for a good cause, Harley. All for Texas.
