Cowboy : Ya know, if I's you kids what I'd do? I'd quit this runnin' around the country. Ya know, git a little bit a money together 'n, hell, buy a place 'n settle down 'n raise a family. I've been married for 35 years, same old gal; man she's a tough ol' hide. God dang, everything I am, I owe ta her.

Cowboy : Aw, reckon about five thousand.
Carter 'Doc' McCoy : Suppose I give you ten thousand for that truck of yours.
Cowboy : You're serious?
Carter 'Doc' McCoy : I am.
Cowboy : An'a I keep ma' mouth shut, an' I don't say nothin' 'bout the truck, 'n I never seen either one a the two of ya.

[Carol pays the cowboy]

Carter 'Doc' McCoy : Now you're gonna have to walk on back to the border.
