- Simon Blake: Don't hold me to it, but I swear that I seen that man somewhere before.
- Jim Quince: Yeah, where?
- Simon Blake: I get a picture when I look at his face, a kind of frame.
- Jim Quince: What kind of frame?
- Simon Blake: A rope. Like I said, don't hold me to it.
- Jim Quince: Well, I don't know about that. Have a look at that stallion. He must be worth a fortune.
- Simon Blake: I don't know about that. I'm looking at the man. I don't know what he's worth but I'd say he's pure trouble.
- Simon Blake: He'd have my shirt before I had a hair off its tail.
- Rowdy Yates: He's that good, huh?
- Simon Blake: Look at him.
- Rowdy Yates: Is he on the seconds?
- Simon Blake: If he is, he's too fast for me to spot.
- Simon Blake: They say you can't get a purebred to cut steers like that.
- Danny Hawks: I'd get him to climb a tree if I needed to.
- Simon Blake: That's saying a lot for the horse or the rider.
- Danny Hawks: Take your pick.
- Danny Hawks: When I was a young boy, I spent a few years with the Blackfoot Tribe. They taught me a thing or two about reading signs.
- Jed Colby: You're pretty good at Indian tactics too, huh?
- Danny Hawks: You go out two weeks in any direction, you'll never find a man better.
- Jed Colby: You know, Danny boy, you keep patting yourself on the back that way you're liable to end up with a whole lot of callouses and a hole in your back.
- Rowdy Yates: How's that new man doing?
- Simon Blake: If you took everything that the best of us know about handling cows and put it in a bushel basket, he'd more than match us.
