- Wishbone: I don't like that fellow's beard. I'd take him if I wasn't so thirsty.
- Rowdy Yates: Yeah, what with? A sledgehammer?
- Wishbone: What would I need a sledgehammer for when I got this.
- [Wish holds Rowdy's wrist and raises his arm]
- Wishbone: Here's your challenger!
- Jeremiah O'Neal: [to himself] In the sunny lust of life he was, strong as an iron rock heel, with the smile of Ireland in his eyes, was the lad they called O'Neal.
- Hey Soos: Hey Soos.
- Jeremiah O'Neal: Hey Soos.
- Toothless: They call me Toothless.
- Jeremiah O'Neal: Toothless.
- Joe Scarlet: Scarlet.
- Jeremiah O'Neal: Scarlet.
- Jim Quince: Quince.
- Jeremiah O'Neal: Quince.
- Jim Quince: Say, easy, that's my roping hand.
- Rowdy Yates: He could lift a steer.
- Gil Favor: Well, we walk, we don't carry. All right, you found him, you find something for him to do. But don't tell me about it, huh. Just surprise me.
- Jeremiah O'Neal: Rowdy! Never once have you been prying into affairs that have no value to any man but myself. And I'm deeply grateful, lad.
- Jim Quince: [as he and the other drovers watch Jeremiah lift the supply wagon so that Rowdy can refit the wheel] Well, I'll be doggone. He ain't gonna need any help with that mine. He can carry a ton of gold in a sack in each hand, and one in his teeth.
- Wishbone: As a man and boy, I been around these parts an awful long time. My Daddy even spent good money to send me to school so I can read some books. I frankly resent an immigrant Irishman knowing more about this country than I do.
- Mushy: [after the fighter has displayed his dancing skills, music provided by Rowdy on guitar and Scarlet on mouth organ] Where's you learn to hoedown like that, Mr Jeremiah?
- Jeremiah O'Neal: Now, what kind of question are you asking, boy? In Kilkenny every newborn baby's knowing two things, how to do an Irish jig, and where to find his supper.
- Toothless: A headstone?
- Jim Quince: Yeah. But for who?
- Wishbone: I'm not about to ask. He might show me.
- Navajo Chief: You go now!
- Gil Favor: Look, I can't leave my man out there!
- Navajo Chief: You have until the sun sets! Stay and see the sun no more! All of you!
- Jeremiah O'Neal: [to himself] Of the two, 'twas the son that what found the trove and he was the first to die in a way that brought a lashing pain and a tear to the father's eyes.
- Jeremiah O'Neal: Listen, Rowdy. Riches can fill a man with an ugly desire, a desire to keep. I found myself with such an ugly desire. And it cost me the only treasure in the world worth having.
- Jeremiah O'Neal: [voiceover] And the two of them now rest in peace where barren dreams were sown. A howling wind blows dust against the shamrock on the stone.
- Rowdy Yates: What's that?
- Jeremiah O'Neal: There's a saying, lad. 'Tis a fortunate man that knows his own destiny before it overtakes him. Here I have mine.
- Rowdy Yates: Ah, well, I'll carry your coat.
