Incident at Barker Springs (1959)

Paul Richards: Brazo Ford

Quotes 

• Lance Ford : Working for Slate Brell? Is that where you're going?

  Brazo Ford : Well, what if it is?

  Brazo Ford : Now, you listen to me. You let this eat at you until it's all out of size. Other people don't think about it the way you do. To them a scar's a scar. Now you still got to be a man. A scar don't drive a man to hire out his gun.

  Lance Ford : I'll make out. You did. You made a good life for Ma, for Pa, and me.

  Brazo Ford : Maybe. But I knew who worked for Slate Prell. I kept turning him down.

  Lance Ford : Man's got a spread to run, that's all. Needs help.

  Brazo Ford : Like he did in East Texas? Night riding, cutting fences, burning out his neighbours. That's right? Gunning 'em, stealing all their stock he could get his hands on.

• Brazo Ford : Well, I'm gonna go now, Ranie.

  Rainy Dawson : Please don't. He was just the first. There'll be more, lots more. You won't have a chance.

  Brazo Ford : Well, I guess a man always has a chance.

• Brazo Ford : You know, Slate, I used to hear folks claim that a snake'd never travel more than a mile from where it was hatched. But they must've been wrong. You was hatched a long way from here, wasn't you?

• Lance Ford : He come up on this drive lookin' for me.

  Brazo Ford : You talk too much.

  Gil Favor : You don't talk enough, Brazo.

  Brazo Ford : Easy now, Mr Favor.

  Gil Favor : Maybe Brazo is short to Bronson. That right?

  Brazo Ford : Maybe.

  Gil Favor : Hired gunfighter in the Fence Wars in East Texas. Pretty well known a few years back. Worked for both sides at different times. Real successful. What's a gunfighter doing interested in this boy?
