a very human hero, part 3

Mrs. McLain:   "I think we'd best get to town and find a hotel room.  That is, if I can find John."

Mr. Grainger: "Now, he's probably out with Trampas settling the problems of the world."

Trampas:   "Chico, that I had to do--for me.  For Bill?  I tried.  I tried to stir things up, get people mad.  But I didn't accomplish a thing.  Now I'm at the end of my rope.  There just isn't anything else I can do.  I'm sorry."

Trampas:  "I was just thinking about those Indians. I don't think much of stealing their land to fix up this town."

Denny:  "You just watch it, Trampas, with all that 'poor, needy Indian' talk."

Trampas:   "Oh, Ohhh.  Well, looks like the party's over.  And you did a pretty good job of keeping me here while your sister and her boyfriend pulled off another robbery."

Geraldine:  "Where are you going?"

Lee Knight: "Come on Trampas.  I remember a time when you would have done something, law or no law."

Trampas: "That day is long gone, Lee.  Ten years gone."

Lee Knight:  "You sure there's nothing else long gone--like maybe your stomach, is that gone?  What happened to you, Trampas?"

Trampas:   "Look, Mr. Keller, I'd like to help you but--"

Joe Keller:  "You've got to find her, Son. . . A fella's gotta have some kin to say good bye to. . . You can do it, Son, smart fella like you, I know you can.   Anyways, you'll try, won't you?  Please tell me you'll try."

Hobie Simpson:   ". . . All the while I thought I wasn't good enough for you.  I must admit, this one is younger and better looking, but I thought you liked older men. . . "

Angela Van Owen: "I don't know what all this is supposed to mean, but I suggest you change your tone."

Hobie Simpson:   "Oh, you do.  Well, I don't think it's going to work out that way."

John Wood:   "And then they'll hang me."

Trampas:  "Not if you didn't kill Cochran they won't."

John Wood:  "This is his gun."

Trampas: "Was he coming at you?  Can you swear it was self defense?"

Kgoy-Ma:  "I can swear it.  I saw it happen."

Trampas:  "You see.  You've got an eye witness.  Now they're not going to hang you."

John Wood:  "Who would believe an Indian woman in a place like this?"

Trampas:  "I guess you said it yourself.  I'm just a dumb cowboy.  Well, maybe I'm dumb enough to believe that people should be honest and dumb enough to try to stop them when they're not."

Jason Crowder:   "Dumb!  That doesn't say it!  You - are - nothing."

Trampas:  "You've been my friend, Jason, but you're a thief.  And I'm not gonna ride out of here and turn my back on your stealing.  I can't."
