- Gil Favor: Only thing certain about a trail drive is the uncertainty. The expected never seems to happen. The surprise is always poppin' up, most of the time bringin' trouble. When it hits, there's no countin' on somebody else to handle it. That's my job, mine alone. I'm Gil Favor, trail boss.
- Pete Nolan: In the back, Mr Favor? You think any of us would knife a man in the back?
- Gil Favor: Yah, well. That's what comes of talking before thinking. You'll all do me a favour if you forget what I asked.
- Pete Nolan: I guess we'll all do ourselves a favour if we get that herd moving. Huh?
- Kalla: I call upon you, my power and my force, the spirit of the Zincali. I say evil to this man, evil to him, on him the great curse, the FINAL CURSE! May he fall here before me. May his teeth bite the sigh of the ground. May he grovel and gasp for his life. May he lie dead at my feet. And may this happen to him here and NOW! NOW! NOW!
- Rowdy Yates: You've got the real rosy outlook of an undertaker. Don't you ever feel good about anything?
