Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : Bond Street, San Antone.

  Tompkins : Bond Street, London, sir.

  Rowdy Yates : London, England?

  Tompkins : London, England.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, a fancy dress party.

  Tompkins : Formal attire, sir.

• Rowdy Yates : There's a big difference between counting cattle and counting sheep, Pete.

  Pete Nolan : Yeah? What's that?

  Rowdy Yates : Well, when you're counting cattle, you don't fall asleep.

  Pete Nolan : Aw, come on.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, I suppose a cattleman shouldn't count sheep, being treason or something like that.

• Laura : You like the house, Mr Yates?

  Rowdy Yates : Well, one thing's for sure. I ain't seen anything like it.

  Laura : My father had an architect build it. It's Georgian.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, I live in Georgia two, three years ago.

  Laura : Not Georgia, Mr Yates, King George.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, what's he got to do with it?

  Laura : The, the Georgian period.

  Rowdy Yates : Sure.

• Oneewa : It would be better if you rode away. Now.

  Rowdy Yates : I've just been invited for dinner.

  Oneewa : It would be better if you rode away.

• Rowdy Yates : [Rowdy is almost distraught as his clothes have disappeared]  I can't find my clothes.

  Tompkins : I have them here, sir.

  Rowdy Yates : Them?

  Tompkins : Yes, dinner is almost ready, sir.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, great, I'm hungry and everything, but what the.

  Tompkins : We dress for dinner, sir.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, I ain't exactly planned on coming down for dinner like this.

  [Rowdy is dressed only in a towel wrapped around his waist] 

  Tompkins : [Thompkins laughs]  Very good, sir.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, great. Where're my clothes?

  Tompkins : I took the liberty, sir, of putting them in the laundry tub while you were taking a bath, sir. They were very dusty, sir.

  Rowdy Yates : Dusty? They were filthy. Drovers' clothes always are.

  Tompkins : Well, they'll be quite dry in the morning and I shall iron them very carefully, sir.

  Rowdy Yates : What are you trying to do? Get me thrown me off the drive?

• Rowdy Yates : Seems like I've been making a fool of myself.

  Winch : You had her help. So did I.

  Rowdy Yates : I ain't much at apologies, Mr Winch.

  Winch : Find me someone who is and I'll take lessons. I'm like you, Mr Yates, I didn't come into this natural. Most I wanted to be was to be a foreman when I started. I never met people like the Ashleys before. They live in a different world.

  Rowdy Yates : Why do they do that?

  Winch : They're English somebodies, Bluebloods, I guess is the word. Trying to keep something alive that can't be kept alive out here. Tradition.

• Rowdy Yates : Listen, Laura, I didn't know you before yesterday. And tomorrow I'm riding back to the herd. So what I have to say doesn't mean much.

  Laura : Say anything you want, Mr Yates, anyone can now.

  Rowdy Yates : I had supper at your place last night. In the garden I kissed a very beautiful girl. It meant a lot to me.

  Laura : Last night you didn't know it was a squaw.

  Rowdy Yates : I wasn't kissing a label or a name. It was a woman. I won't forget her for a long time. Unless.

• Laura : Mr Yates, I'm the English lady whose elegance impressed you, even frightened you at dinner last night, didn't it?

  Rowdy Yates : Yeah, yeah, it did that.

  Laura : And, afterwards, when you kissed me, you thought you were kissing a lady, didn't you. Well, you were wrong. You were kissing a squaw. Aren't you ashamed of kissing a squaw?

  Rowdy Yates : Look, it didn't make no difference to me.

  Laura : Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.What I don't want, I don't want your charity or your money.

• Winch : Your horse has been fed. So have you. Pack your gear and go.

  Rowdy Yates : That's up to Sir Ashley and Miss Laura.

  Winch : On this ranch it's up to ME!

• Rowdy Yates : Well, next time, we're gonna send Pete. Y'see, people, they're, well, beeves are a lot easier to get along with.

  Wishbone : I wouldn't be surprised what you're right.
