Sheb Wooley: Pete Nolan

Quotes 

• Pete Nolan : We go right by Aberlee, Mr Favor.

  Gil Favor : Now, Pete, even if we didn't, we sure wouldn't leave him all alone out there in the middle of the prairie.

• Pete Nolan : Every time you open your mouth, another lie comes out. You just keep your mouth closed.

• Pete Nolan : Did I see what I always thought I saw?

  Jim Quince : [Fireworks erupt]  You must've, I'm seeing it too.

  Pete Nolan : Indians don't have things like that.

• Gil Favor : [Rowdy rides into camp at speed, and produces a frog from his hat for Davy]  Took a little old frog to do what 25 grown men couldn't.

  Pete Nolan : Yep, it just don't seem right, Lord sending big trouble to a little kid. I guess he hasn't got to you the way he has to the rest of us.

  Gil Favor : Oh, he gets to me all right. But I was just wondering why we hadn't heard about Indians in the neighbourhood.

  Pete Nolan : There's a lot of things we don't hear about.

• Gray : What are you after, Mister?

  David Colby : This small boy. Sounds kinda crazy?

  David Colby : That's him, Mr Gray.

  Gray : Yeah, yeah, sounds kinda crazy.

  Pete Nolan : Wait a minute. I don't know what Davy's told you, but I kinda can figure it out.

  Gray : You're making out you didn't kill his family?

• David Colby : Ma, Ma, I'm sorry I made you worry.

  Jennie Colby : Why should I worry about you? I never saw you before in my life.

  Pete Nolan : I understand, Ma'am. Sorry to have bothered you.

  David Colby : BUT MA!

  Jennie Colby : Would you please take him away.

  [And Pete does, taking the boy by the scruff of the neck, and reaching for a branch to use as a birch] 

• Pete Nolan : You, ah, run away from home?

  David Colby : Asking questions of strangers 'round here, Mister, will just get you into trouble.
