Cattle Empire (1958)

Richard Shannon: Garth

Quotes 

• Garth : Lots of trials we rode together, Cord. Lots of things I learned from you.

  John Cord : You can forget 'em.

  Garth : Some things a man doesn't forget, like John Cord's rule for a herd-drinking special - always carry your own keg of whiskey. Let the men break it open in camp to let off some steam. Keeps them from werecking an innocent town.

  John Cord : I don't seem to remember that at the trial.

• Garth : Nothing to it, Cord. Betwen us we could build the biggest cattle empire this country has ever seen.

  John Cord : I'm not interested in cattle empires, but for the Fort Clemson drive, you got yourself a trail boss.

• Garth : Got your rump in two saddles at once, huh? Aren't you spreadin' your influence a little too far?

• John Cord : Keep your herd pointed due East. You should hit Horse Thief Creek in about ten days.

  Garth : Where are you taking them?

  John Cord : Northeast.

  Garth : The Dismal River... it's bone dry, isn't it?

  John Cord : No. They'll be able to smell it. It's too thin to plow and too thick to drink.

  Garth : Those cows will go berzerk.
