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: Oh, I can get in out of the rain. That's about all.
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.
