Clint Eastwood: Rowdy Yates

Quotes 

• Gil Favor : You all right Rowdy?

  Rowdy Yates : Oh sure, I got a new part in my hair, but I'm all right.

• Rowdy Yates : You think they mean to let us leave?

  Gil Favor : One thing's for sure. They're not letting us ride out of this town very far in broad daylight.

  Rowdy Yates : Why?

  Gil Favor : You notice the difference between their guns and ours?

  Rowdy Yates : Yeah. You mean the difference between a rifle and a 6-gun?

  Gil Favor : Catch up with us in open country, pick us off like prairie dogs without a hole to hide in.

• Wishbone : This warthog complaining hoarse than ever about my chow.

  Rowdy Yates : Look at this, Mr Favor. Biscuits with weevils in 'em. That's what he's trying to feed us.

  Wishbone : The way he talks, you'd think I put them weevils in that flour myself.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, you could've sifted them out.

  Wishbone : I ain't a flour sifter, I'm a cook.

  Rowdy Yates : You're keeping that a secret.

  Wishbone : Ooh, you sneaky.

  Rowdy Yates : Ah.

  Gil Favor : All right. That's enough. It's time to eat, not to fight. Rowdy, I imagine when you were a prisoner during the war that any kind of biscuit tasted good, even those with weevils in 'em.

  Wishbone : That way you got your bread and meat mixed into one.

  Rowdy Yates : Well, things were different then. We expected it. But the war is over.

  Wishbone : No, but the weevils don't know it.

• Gil Favor : No strays or supplies in sight. No point in us hanging around.

  Rowdy Yates : What do you have in mind?

  Gil Favor : What can you do when you lose cattle tracks?

  Rowdy Yates : Let's go back and start over.

  Gil Favor : That's what I got in mind.

  Matt Lucas : There's a waterbank about five miles west of here. Sometimes cattle can smell water but I guess you know that.

  Gil Favor : Much obliged.

• Gil Favor : When they left, they must've left in a big hurry. That stagecoach could've carried a lot of freight.

  Rowdy Yates : This might be one of those towns hit by Black Fever.

  Gil Favor : Or maybe the silver ran out.
