Rig Ferris:
[Jeff has just been given a job as a ranch hand by a no-nonsense foreman] All right, I might as well tell 'ya right now, we got some strict rules on this place. We don't run our cattle like wild Indians 'cause it takes the fat off. We don't rope 'em unless we have to. We got some good-blooded stuff on this ranch and we can't sell 'em with broken legs.

Jeff McCloud:
Old Book used to be one of the best bronc riders in the business.
Wes Merritt: What happened?
Jeff McCloud: Punchy. Bronc shook his brains loose. He's head wrangler for Dawson now.

Jeff McCloud:
There never was a bronc that couldn't be rode, there never a cowboy that couldn't be throwed. Guys like me last forever.

Jeremiah Watrus: Me, I'm a thinkin' man. This is what I think. One 'o the things that's wrong is all the books and rules on success is written by successful men. Now that's wrong. Fellers like you and me'd get a lot more help if the books and rules on success was written by a failure. That'd make sense.

[Buster enters Rosemary's trailer to find Jeff sitting inside. The shower can be heard running in the background] Who's in the shower?
Jeff McCloud: Lady.
Louise Merritt: [From the shower] Jeff, can you hand me a towel?
Buster Burgess: [Jeff starts to get up but Buster stops him] I'll get it.
Buster Burgess: [Buster walks in on Louise in the shower and she screams. Buster rushes out] That ain't Rosemary!
Jeff McCloud: Nooooooo.
Jeff McCloud: Lady.

Louise Merritt:
Wes tells me you once made three thousand dollars in one day, rodeoin'.
Jeff McCloud: That's right.
Louise Merritt: And threw it all away.
Jeff McCloud: Oh, I didn't throw it away. It just sorta'... floated.
Louise Merritt: That's pretty stupid, breakin' all your bones, then lettin' the money go.
Jeff McCloud: That's right.
Louise Merritt: And threw it all away.

Wes Merritt:
A fella's bankroll could get fat in a hurry, rodeoin'.
Jeff McCloud: Bahh... Chicken today, feathers tomorrow.
Wes Merritt: Not if he played it smart when he had the chicken.
