and yet more learning

Margaret Tyrone:   "No, Trampas."

Trampas:  "I'm sorry.  Guess this is my day to make mistakes."

Margaret Tyrone:   "I like you, Trampas, it's just that--. . . I do like you, and I know you're not trying to take advantage of the fact that we're out here together alone.  I just don't like you in that way."

Trampas:  "I see."

Margaret Tyrone: . . . "Please don't be angry.  I need a friend.  I may need one very much."

Steve:  "You know, I don't like to say it, but I was sure surprised the way Trampas acted.  I never thought he'd be the kind to go sneaking off in the middle of the night like that.  I'd have bet even money he'd be man enough to stand right up to Tyrone--you know, if he was that serious about Margaret."

Virginian:  "Guess you never know what a man will do till the time comes."

Pat: "What are you following me for?"

Trampas:  "To keep you from killing Gaynor. . . It all adds up, Pat--the cracks you made about me and Janet getting back together, you leaving Shiloh without even drawing out your pay. . ."

Pat:  "He stole your girl, didn't he?  You don't want her back?"

Trampas:  "He didn't steal her, she chose him. . . I don't want to argue about it, Pat, but you're not going to kill him."

Betsy Garth:   "You can't go around feeling like a criminal just because you asked a girl to dance.  All right, maybe you were a little fresh in the way you did it, but you didn't intend to hurt anyone. . .  Oh, honestly, you make me so mad.  You think you know everything about women, and you don't even know that much. . .  I've been thinking how I'd feel if I were in that girl's place . . .  I certainly wouldn't hold an honest mistake against anyone if I was sure that's what it was.  Trampas, go talk to her.  You'll feel better and so will she."

Trampas: "I don't think that father of hers would let me near the place."

Trampas:  "Well, I've been wanting to talk to you.  There's some things about you that I--I don't know, maybe I'm the only one that sees them.  But I think you're out to damage some people I like."

Templeton:   "Who?"

Trampas:  "Betsy, for one."

Templeton:  "Well, Why don't you warn her about me."

Trampas:  "I tried, it didn't work."

Templeton:  "Well, then just relax, friend."

Luke Milford:  "Tramp?. . What got in to you?. . . "

Trampas: "I don't know, I just felt sorry for him."

  Saloon Girl:   "Hey, Trampas. Where you going?"

Trampas:  "I'm leaving." 

Saloon Girl:  "Why in a hurry?

Trampas:  "I'm in no hurry."

Saloon Girl:  "Why don't you come inside and talk over old times."

Trampas:  "Sorry.   I'm fresh out of 'old times'."

Trampas:   "Why are you afraid?"

Judy King:  "I know Medicine Bow isn't the world.  There's St. Louis, Chicago, New York.  You just can't give me all the things I want."

Trampas:  "Judy, I can give you a home, family, respect."

Judy King:  "Those things are important, I want them, but there's time, there's got to be time.  Do you understand?"

Virginian:   "What was that all about?" 

Trampas:   "Nothin'.  Just being friendly."

Virginian:   "He didn't look it."

Trampas:  "Would you if you were in his shoes?"

Virginian:  "Can't say.  But I know if I was in yours I'd stop feeling guilty about something I wasn't responsible for."

Trampas:  "Doesn't matter if I'm responsible for it or not.  It doesn't change the fact that his--"
