- [Simon wheels the stagecoach into the station with Davey as his shotgun guard]
- Relay Station Hostler: Howdy, Sime. Howdy, Davey. Is that thing there loaded?
- Simon Kane: Ballast. On some stretches of this road, that's the only way I can hold Davey down.
- Simon Kane: Changing teams, folks. Might as well get out and stretch your legs.
- Sherriff Doolin: Nice drivin', Sime.
- Simon Kane: Thank you, Sheriff. The agent always keeps the coffee hot, Colonel Carlin. How are we doin', Mrs. Barton?
- Linda Barton: Oh, after the last lap, I could use it. Since we left Outpost, I think you hit every hole on the Western frontier.
- Johnny Dane: He missed one, ma'am - Grand Canyon. It's too far north.
- [Dane raises to Simon's rescue when the older man is pinned down by rifle fire]
- Simon Kane: Dane, don't be a fool!
- Johnny Dane: Why should I break a lifetime habit.
- [Domingo and his bandits' rifle fire prevent the passengers from reaching a waterhole]
- Johnny Dane: You never really thought we would just walk away from them, did you? Domingo is just playing his little game - rabbit and butcher
- [last lines]
- [Dane's sacrifice enabled the other stagecoach passengers to escape]
- Simon Kane: I buried him up there with Domingo and two of his men.
- Linda Barton: You know, I never asked him where he was from or what it was he'd done wrong.
- Simon Kane: Linda, the kind of trouble we went through you learn an awful lot about a person in a very short time. Whatever else he was, Johnny Dane was a man.
