The Echo Pass Story (1965)

Jack Lord: Lee Barton

Quotes 

• Lee Barton : I'll make you a promise, if the next waterhole is dry, we'll take the trouble to bury you, right up to your neck in it.

  Paul : With some rock, maybe you'll get some rain.

• Clyde : I just don't see why we can't have our own share.

  Lee Barton : You've counted it enough. The amount isn't changing. $30,000 is a lot of money and if it stays in one piece. We divide it, we're back to dirt farming.

• Lee Barton : You're expecting to deal at this point?

• Bea Dressen : I still don't see what you have to gain by being so obliging.

  Cooper Smith : Maybe I'm thinking that between here and California, we could make a deal. A little share of that money will be better than a bullet in the back.

  Bea Dressen : Mister, I don't believe you'd take a dollar of it.

  Cooper Smith : I said it'd be better than a bullet in the back.

  Bea Dressen : He'd kill everyone of us if he could.

  Lee Barton : Yeah, his partner is still on his mind. But he'd be stupid not to prefer a few dollars in his hand than a bullet in his head.

  Bea Dressen : Which he is getting?

  Lee Barton : Do we have a choice?

• Bea Dressen : [laughing hysterically]  The end of Echo pass. He said he'd take us to the end.

  [she gives another empty laugh] 

  Bea Dressen : He didn't lie. There's water in here but we can't get to it. It's just everything he promised.

  Lee Barton : I'm giving him everything I promised.

• Vera : But he needs some help over places.

  Lee Barton : Josh, you might as well get used to making it on your own.

  Clyde : What does that mean?

  Paul : Well, it means, we don't have to stay here rotting 'cos you can't keep up.

  Vera : When Reis got shot, you didn't just cut him off.

  Bea Dressen : We had horses then.

  Paul : You got the right to stay here if you want. It's real sisterly love, isn't it?

  Lee Barton : That's enough. Let's get on.

  Clyde : You leaving me? And without water?

  Lee Barton : Let's move out.

  Vera : Maybe you can catch up, Josh.

  Clyde , Paul : You're leaving me.

  [he cocks his gun] 

  Clyde , Paul : Water, I gotta have water. And my share of the money. I can see you leaving me. But I want my share of the water and my money.

• Cooper Smith : What about my friend? you're goning to leave him tied like that?

  Lee Barton : We'll make some arrangements.
