- Thad: [to Andy, interrupting his conversation with Little Joe] I told you to saddle my horse.
- Andy: I did. He's in the stall.
- Thad: Well, get 'im.
- Joseph 'Little Joe' Cartwright: Now, wait a minute, mister. I'm talking to the man.
- Andy: I'll be right back, Joe.
- [goes into the barn]
- Thad: You see, he knows me. I mean , I whistle, and he runs. Now, that should tell you somethin'
- Joseph 'Little Joe' Cartwright: Yeah... but you wouldn't want to hear it.
- Sheriff Solomon Budd: How much?
- Thad: How much what?
- Sheriff Solomon Budd: Reward. What's Daddy Ledbetter offerin' for Buck?
- Thad: Two thousand. And he don't want no trial.
- Sheriff Solomon Budd: I'm listenin'...
- Thad: For what?
- Sheriff Solomon Budd: The rest of it. Is that the price for one or both?
- Thad: Two thousand, apiece.
- Sheriff Solomon Budd: I knew it. You come chargin' up our trail like a cyclone wind, you're chasin' money.
- Thad: Sonny Ledbetter was a friend of mine. AS a matter of fact, he was my best friend.
- Sheriff Solomon Budd: Sure, as much a friend as you ever had. And that ain't much. Come to think of it, you two had a lot in common.
- Thad: You know, I'm gonna remember what you said, sheriff, and one of these days, I'm gonna make you regret having said it.
- Sheriff Solomon Budd: You do that. Nothin' like hate to keep a man awake. Your watch - I'm turnin' in.
