Eric Fleming: Gil Favor
Quotes
-
Gil Favor : When a man's pushing ornery cows over the Sedalia Trail, he's gotta hope for the best, expect the worse. You never know what the cows'll do - it keeps a man jumping, always on the watch. But I wouldn't trade the job. I'm Gil Favor, trail boss.
-
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.

Mrs. Miller : She's cast her lot. Let her stay.
Gil Favor : If we do, Mrs Miller, you might never see her again.
Mrs. Miller : She's like her father, selfish, wayward, and unfaithful. He left me years ago for what he called a school teacher. She gave her lessons in the dancehalls.
-
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.
