Eric Fleming: Gil Favor

Quotes 

• Gil Favor : It looks a long ways off to me.

  Pete Nolan : We ain't got nothin' to worry about now.

  Gil Favor : Oh, no. Nothing but fences, grass and water, and a place to hold 'em. And the buyers and the inspectors, market price, freight costs, the mood of the world, and the state of a million housewives' digestion.

• Gil Favor : Panic?

  Mr. Draper : Haven't you heard? The biggest bank in New York went under. Bottom's dropped out of everything.

  Matt Walters : Everything's closing up all over. No cash, no credit, no buyers for the cattle.

• Emma Cardwell : You're asking me to do you a kindness?

  Gil Favor : I'm offering you a business proposition. You got grass, I need it. I'm willing to pay for it.

  Emma Cardwell : How much?

• Gil Favor : Wait a minute. What did this Mr Smith look like?

  Mr. Draper : Whiskered old character. I should have known from his looks he was a common criminal.

  Gil Favor : WISHBONE!

• Gil Favor : What have you been up to in those clothes?

  Wishbone : Up to? In these clothes?

  Gil Favor : Yeah, up to, in those clothes.

• Mr. Draper : There's just one thing though.

  Gil Favor : Yeah, what?

  Mr. Draper : I can't pay you in cash. We pay in Government paper.

  Wishbone : Government paper?

  Mr. Draper : Redeemable in cash 30 days after delivery. Upon presentation in Washington.

• Emma Cardwell : It was cattlemen that did it, swindled him, took away his life's work, everything he valued, loved.

  Gil Favor : You're blaming us who didn't even know him?

  Emma Cardwell : No, there's more. You belong to a breed of men. You come tearing into a town like a bunch of maniacs, shooting, drinking, killing. I had a son. Well, you won't have much to celebrate with this time. $10 a head, take it or leave it.

• Gil Favor : You don't care about anything but your own personal little hate. I feel sorry for you.
