Incident of the Blue Fire (1959)

Clint Eastwood: Rowdy Yates

Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : [the beeves are unsettled]  Don't you think I know how?

  Gil Favor : You ever been in a bog run?

  Rowdy Yates : Well, yeah, you know I haven't.

  Gil Favor : Well, you try it. Maybe tonight. Now just keep on singing to 'em, sweet and low, just enough to let them know you're there. Lika a lullaby.

• Gil Favor : And how'd you spot the troublemaker?

  Rowdy Yates : Well, he was the first one on his feet. He was the troublemaker all right.

  Gil Favor : You're not as smart as I thought you was. You should have cut him out of the herd straightaway, taken him downwind, cut his throat. But, outside of that, good work.

  [Rowdy is confused by the back-handed half-compliment from his Boss] 

• Teddy : Well, when you're dealing with beeves you need to be lucky.

  Lucky Markley : Somebody call me?

  Gil Favor : I hardly think so. We don't rightly know what to call you.

  Lucky Markley : Oh, Lucky Marley. 'Cos the Lucky is just a nickname, mostly because I never had much myself. You know what I mean?

  Gil Favor : No, don't know what you mean.

  Lucky Markley : Well, luck, I always seem to bring it to folks. Well, like I brung it to you. And the running stopped.

  Rowdy Yates : I did that!

• Rowdy Yates : What about the Comanches then?

  Gil Favor : If they're coming, they'll come. We've got enough to worry about with this herd. So let's get to it.

• Rowdy Yates : If I did something wrong I'd like to be told about it.

  Gil Favor : If I told you every time you did something wrong, we'd still be in San Antone.
