Stony Brooke:
Very lovely.
Stony Brooke: The lady or the music?
Stony Brooke: You play beautifully, too.
Evelyn Maxwell: Have you heard, "I'll Kiss You in the Moonlight"?
Stony Brooke: Is that a song or a promise?

Taw Jackson:
Did you know why Pierce wanted you to kill me?
Lomax: Sure, so he could legally steal your land once he found there was gold on it. You were a hard-working rancher defending your property, yet it's you who gets shot, framed and sent to jail. I always thought that was kind of amusing.
Taw Jackson: Well, it's nice to find a fellow with a keen sense of humor.

Where's Lomax?
Wes Fletcher: In Rondado... at the Oriental Palace. Billy Hyatt's in Chabisco.
Taw Jackson: Levi?
Wes Fletcher: He's down by Mesquitte with Colita's gang.
Taw Jackson: What about the shipment?
Wes Fletcher: The big one's four days from now.
Taw Jackson: Doesn't give us much time.

Thomas Dunson:
Give me ten years, and I'll have that brand on the gates of the greatest ranch in Texas. The big house will be down by the river, and the corrals and the barns behind it. It'll be a good place to live in. Ten years and I'll have the Red River D on more cattle than you've looked at anywhere. I'll have that brand on enough beef to feed the whole country. Good beef for hungry people. Beef to make 'em strong, make 'em grow. But it takes work, and it takes sweat, and it takes time, lots of time. It takes years.
