Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : Person would have to be soft in the head to go back on the trail after that last one. Eating dust on the Chisholm! Did you really have a good time when you were at home?

  Hey Soos : Yes. Didn't you?

  Rowdy Yates : Well, yeah, I did at first but after a while it was: Rowdy do this, Rowdy do that. And, ain't you ever gonna get out of bed, Rowdy.

  Hey Soos : Si, it was the same for me. All my little cousins and sisters, ah, there wasn't a moment's peace. I'll be glad to be out on the trail.

  Rowdy Yates : I'm glad I ain't the only one soft in the head.

• Ben Andrews : Antonio Marcos does not call himself a bandito. He calls himself a revolutionary. He's leading a revolt against the Texas Land Grant.

  Rowdy Yates : Isn't it a bit late for that?

  Ben Andrews : It's a lost cause but he can do a lot of damage. Matter of fact, already has. Robbery, even murder. Three men have been killed already.

• Wishbone : Rowdy, you told us your Pa was dead.

  Rowdy Yates : He still is.

• Rowdy Yates : I'm sorry, boss.

  Gil Favor : Don't ever say that again.

• Rowdy Yates : I don't much want anything that belongs to you. You can have it back if you want.

  Dan Yates : I'm sorry to hear you say that, boy. Maybe you'd change your mind once you got that money in your hands.

  Rowdy Yates : I doubt that.

  Dan Yates : ROWDY! Give me back that watch I gave you.

  Rowdy Yates : [Rowdy hands the watch over]  GOODBYE!

• Rowdy Yates : You know, when I was a kid, I really worshipped him. All the kids around did. He taught us how to hunt, and fish, defend ourselves. I owe him a lot.

  Gil Favor : You paid him back in full.

  Rowdy Yates : How's that?

  Gil Favor : By growing into a man.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, then, he went away and left Ma and me. I got to hating him for that. I guess for what he did to Ma. Ah, I dunno, maybe it was for leaving me alone. Maybe I'm being selfish about the whole thing. What do you think I oughta do?

  Gil Favor : What makes you think you oughta do anything? Or even if you can.

• Dan Yates : But then, there was you, and school.

  Rowdy Yates : Oh, so it was my fault, huh.

  Dan Yates : Weren't nobody's fault but she just had to stay and I just had to go. Don't you ever get that itch in you to get and see something new, do something new. Even if it's only to ride out over that far hill, just to see what's beyond? Hear the wind in different trees? To sit by a lonely campfire and listen to the wolves about and know you're your own man. Ain't you never had that?
