Sandy: By Golly, I bet it's going to be hotter then...::Jackson: [Angrily] Mind your language!::Sandy: I wasn't cussin'!::Jackson: You were going to say Hell!::Sandy: I was going to say Hades, but Hell ain't cussin', it's geography... It's the name of a place, like you might say Abilene or Salt Lake City.::Jackson: [Taking offense] Don't you be going making any remarks about Salt Lake City!::[Sandy turns away, but when he cinches his saddle, he purposesly bumps into Jackson, Jackson does it back, and they do it back and forth. Then they turn around and fight]

How do they feel?::Denver: Fine. A little large for me maybe, but fine. Thanks very much, and thank your lady friend.::[Denver arises, and starts to walk away, Travis looks after her]::Travis Blue: She ain't that either ma'am!

[singing]::Sandy: I left my gal in Old Virginy...::Travis Blue: Trailin' behind the wagon trail...::Sandy: Another I left in Old Missoura...::Travis Blue: Trailin' behind the wagon trail...::Sandy, Travis Blue: [Together] Oh the Wite tops are a rollin', rollin', the big wheels keep a-turnin', and when I reach that promise land, for my gal I'll still be yearnin'.

Travis Blue, Sandy: [singing, towards the end of the movie] Oh the white tops are a rollin' rollin', and the big wheels keep on turnin', there's a good little gal in that promise land already I'm a yearnin!

Travis Blue: Sure hope that I see you again, Miss Denver.::Denver: Thanks, but don't plan on it, We move around. The medicine show has to, to stay healthy.::Travis Blue: We move around alot trading horses. Good thing about it, though, you get to see a lot of pretty country, like the valley I got in mind. A man can make an awfully nice little cattle ranch in that valley. If he doesn't mind being lonesome.::Denver: [pauses] Good luck, fellow.::[She runs away, blinded by tears]

Travis Blue: [of the indians] Near as I can figure out, he don't seem to like white menn.::Sandy: Yeah, he say's we're all thieves.::Elder Wiggs: Smarter then he looks!
