Incident with an Executioner (1959)

Eric Fleming: Gil Favor

Quotes 

• Gil Favor : On the Sedalia Trail, pushing a herd of three thousand mixed head, you're always a long ways from nowhere. Ahead - trouble, known and unknown. Behind - owners depending on the drive, counting on men crazy enough to push it. Like me - Gil Favor, trail boss.

• Gil Favor : Is it civilized to shoot a man in the back in Rhode Island, Mr. Vanryzin?

• The Stagecoach Driver : Well, I told 'em about the Executioner, only turning up when when he's after somebody.

  Mary : Mr Favor, we're all grateful to you for taking us along.

  Rowdy Yates : Want me to see about him, boss?

  Gil Favor : It's open prairie, he's got a right to ride out there. As long as he doesn't bring trouble in to us.

• Gil Favor : Rowdy, we want to be able to reach water before dark, but we won't be able to if we have to stop to bury him.

• Kenley : Do shots scare the cows?

  Gil Favor : No. What scared you?

  Kenley : Me scared? Kid's been practising with his new gun. I just want to show him something.

• Rowdy Yates : Which one of them would you say he was after?

  Gil Favor : Or which one of us?

• Gil Favor : [to Kenley]  You pour any more water on the ground out here, you'll be on your knees lapping up mud.

• Gil Favor : Carrying anything of value?

  The Stagecoach Driver : No.

  Kenley : Yeah. Me.

  The Stagecoach Driver : Don't mind him. These people are trying to help us, Kenley. He's another of those fast guns. Or so he says.

• Wishbone : Maybe it's my fault.

  Gil Favor : Yours?

  Wishbone : Dishing up that extra plate. I've always heard, you dish up an extra plate and you're asking for trouble.

  Gil Favor : Well, they even got to you, Wishbone.
