- Gil Favor: It sounds simple when you start out: Get the herd to Abilene. Before you're halfway there, the cattle are the least of your worries. I know. Gil Favor, trail boss.
- Wishbone: Well, look at it this way, if you wasn't here, what else would you be? Wasting your time, dancing, chasing after girls, buying fancy clothes.
- Mushy: Cut it out, will ya.
- Wishbone: Well, I'm just pointing out to ya how lucky you are having a chance to learn a trade instead of frittering your time enjoying yourself.
- Sophie Cartwright: But my father has been injured and I'd like to be with him.
- Wishbone: Now that's the way a daughter ought to feel. Most of them just up and get married and that's the last you ever see of them.
- Sophie Cartwright: So I've heard. However Father hasn't been faced with that problem.
- Sophie Cartwright: But you don't know the way.
- Pete Nolan: I'm a trail scout, Ma'am. Finding the way is my business.
- Sam Cartwright: Four Aces! And then the preacher said all contributions gratefully received.
- Slim: You haven't seen my last card yet. That's a pretty full deck with five Aces, ain't it?
- Sam Cartwright: Looks that way.
- Slim: How many more cards you got up your sleeve?
- Sam Cartwright: Why you young whippersnapper! You calling me a cheating liar?
- [Rowdy rescues the 6th Ace from the ground and deals with the situation in a way beyond his youthful years and experience]
- Sophie Cartwright: You must think I'm an awful fool.
- Pete Nolan: I think you've done a fool thing. There's a difference. If anybody tried to add up all the foolish things I done, I'd plum run out of fingers and toes.
- Sophie Cartwright: Mr Nolan?
- Pete Nolan: You ought to call me Pete. Sounds kinda funny calling the fella you're engaged to Mister.
- Sophie Cartwright: That Mr Fisher, seems very nice.
- Ellen Ferguson: Oh, yes, everybody likes Mr Fisher. But he won't be on the market for long. Somebody will snap him up now that his mourning time is over. There now, don't you go making eyes at him. You've got your man.
- Pete Nolan: Well, that deal we had where I was gonna go away and in a couple of months you'd hear I got killed. That won't work now. It'll take too long. It's gotta be quick.
- Sophie Cartwright: I don't see...
- Pete Nolan: I got an idea. It'll be rough but it'll be quick.
- Sam Cartwright: The way they carried on in there, I can see why you cooked this up. Instead of slinking in here like a whipped pup, she's got her head up where it belongs.
