• Ben Whitney III : Who the devil are you?

  Wishbone : Well, you're smack in the middle of nowhere, boy, and, for all you know, I might be the Devil itself. So you just mind your manners.

• Ben Whitney III : Well, any of you men think you can pour coffee and dip sugar better than me, I'll trade jobs with you. I can ride better than any of you old buzzards anyhow.

  Gil Favor : Sonny boy, nobody ever won a war with his mouth. Quince, Scarlet, that cup of coffee you're gonna feed him, see it's got lots of sugar in it.

  Jim Quince : Yeah!

  [Quince was one of Ben's salted sugar trick victims] 

  Joe Scarlet : Open wide, boy.

  Jim Quince : We know what's best for you! Drink her down! Best cure I know for a sweet tooth!

• Ben Whitney III : You did pull me out of that water.

  Sam Hargis : Nothing I didn't do for my own boy. Six times a week, twice on Sunday.

• Ben Whitney III : Took me on a trip this time. Out West. Big buffalo hunt. Private railroad car. And he spent all of his time with a bunch of stuffed shirt bankers. Just as if I was so much excess baggage.

• Ben Whitney III : Hargis wasn't all that bad, Mr Favor. He just needed, well, he forgot how to meet people halfway. Just forgot to give a little.
