Clint Eastwood: Rowdy Yates

Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : If you slice this meat any thinner, I could write a letter on it.

• Wishbone : I gotta say one thing. If you don't build 'em up, you sure bust 'em down.

  Rowdy Yates : Well?

  Wishbone : That's what you were aiming to do, wasn't it?

  Rowdy Yates : I suppose.

• Jim Quince : No, I'm all right, I tell you.

  Rowdy Yates : You don't look it.

  Jim Quince : Well, I ain't never chase no beeves with my looks.

• Gil Favor : That was a night. But now it's another day. This ain't Laredo, back on the open trail. Ain't no dancehalls, it's just scrub and dirt. Ain't no dance girls, just beeves, none of 'em knowing a two-step.

  Rowdy Yates : Yes, well, we're just gassing it up a little.

  Gil Favor : Well, exactly, that is the point. Let's get something straight, right now. Every drive starts from scratch, and so does every drover. And I won't stand for no belly-aching. You knuckle down to work, or so help me, I'll send you back to Laredo and you can ride herd in all the dancehall cows you want.

  Rowdy Yates : But we're only 3 days out.

  Pete Nolan : Yep!
