Trampas: "You still don't understand why I went after Maxine. . .You still think I was trying to cut you out, that she was just some pretty face I couldn't resist." Steve: "Well?" Trampas: "You really think I was interested in her." Steve: "Come on, Trampas, I've never seen a girl that you weren't interested in." Trampas: "Well, for the first time in my life I try to do something for a friend, not want anything for myself. Just to keep you from ruining your life. And what happens--I get a punch in the jaw." |

Virginian: "Stay away from her, Trampas." Trampas: "I'm not gonna do her any harm. I just feel sorry for her." Virginian: "Feel sorry for her from your side of the fire." Trampas: "Was that an order?" Virginian: "Yep." |

Virginian: "If I told you to give yourself up it wouldn't carry any weight. I'm not in your shoes. You've got to make your own decision. . . I can tell you this--you run and they catch you, you won't have a chance at the trial." Trampas: "Don't look like I've got much chance either way." Virginian: "Well, I'll get my horse and tie him up behind the hotel. If he's gone in the morning, good luck." Trampas: "Thanks, Boss Man, but I won't be needing that horse. You make me the same offer after the trial." |

Trampas: "Here's one for you. I feel bad about Martin. Old Trampas caring that much about a stupid kid." Virginian: "Doesn't surprise me." Trampas: "He's out there every day practicing with his gun. You know, he's getting accurate? His draw's slower than the coming of a kid's Christmas, but he's getting accurate. I'm going to have to kill him--and for what?!" |

Trampas: "They're such a happy bunch of kids. It seems a cryin' shame to ship them off to an orphanage." Miss Beecher: "It rends my heart. My purse is empty, and I haven't found many along the road who are interested in literature." Trampas: "Maybe not, but that don't mean they don't like kids." Miss Beecher: "I asked at many houses. Found no one willing to take a strange child." Trampas: "If we didn't have to get moving, I bet you we could find a home for those kids." Miss Beecher: "Well, I couldn't. But perhaps I didn't knock on the right door." |

Trampas: "I brought 'em back." Steve: "Shultz wouldn't take 'em?" Trampas: "He'd take 'em but I wouldn't leave 'em. He went over them like he was buying horses. He even looked at their teeth. All he asked was how much work they could do" Steve: "All kids got chores, you know." Trampas: "Well, he had more than chores in mind. All he wanted was a lot of hard labor for no pay. It made me feel like that fella in Oliver Twist -- that Fagin." Steve: "You know what I think? I think you got soft headed. Couldn't let 'em go. That's what I think." |

Virginian: "About Trampas. I know what he was--just a wild kid. Wild as a Comanche. . . Carried his life around with him in his holster. . . Not anymore. . . We all think we've changed. We think we've become something better and different. We think we've grown up. Then something happens like a prairie catches fire or a herd bolts and stampedes or a star falls. And we find out we're back again to something we thought we'd forgotten. . . I won't sit still for something like that. . . I mean, he's my friend." |

Trampas: "You won't find any holes in him. He just keeled over. Careful you don't burn your fingers. He's hotter than a brandin' iron." Virginian: "It's a long ride. A man as sick as that, anything had happened to him nobody would have blamed you. . . Well, this'll make you happy nothin' did. I wired the sheriff in Rock Creek. The Mason Brothers were caught over a year ago. They cleared you at the trial. . .Too bad it didn't come in before you went out to the line shack." Trampas: "Maybe it's better this way. Like they say, 'You learn something new every day'--even about yourself." |
