Quotes:

[first lines]::[after gloomily reading Lon's medical report]::Commander Patrick: Have him come in.

Commander Patrick: Understand you're leaving us.::Lon Evans: Yes sir. I finally got my papers and I'm goin' home - good old Wyoming.::Commander Patrick: Little better than Tarawa, huh?::Lon Evans: And the jungles of the Phillipines. That was the longest three years of my life, but it would have been a lot workse if I hadn't had the memory of the most wonderful country in the world to think about.

Commander Patrick: Evans, I'm going to give it to you straight. That occasional blurring you've been complaining of - I'm afraid there's nothing that we can do for you. You're gradually losing your sight. In time, months, a year, perhaps sooner, you'll be blind. By comparison, you're more fortunate that some of the others. At least you can prepare for it.

Lon Evans: Braille? Training the blind? A seeing-eye dog? What use would a seeing-eye dog be in a country where a man judges distance by the horizon; where a man can ride all day without seeing another soul; where the only creatures that live inside are caged birds? What good would a seeing-eye dog be on a branding job or a cattle round-up? No thanks, Doc.

Lon Evans: Hello. You must be from the Indian Head Dude Ranch.::Jeanne Barton: Are you one of those fortune tellers who knows all and tells all?::Lon Evans: Nope, that one was easy. I could tell by the brand on your horse where you're from and judging from the distance to there you must be lost.::Jeanne Barton: Your calculations are quire correct, my dear Watson. I'm a tenderfoot as green as they come and I am lost.

Lon Evans: I'm not one of your patients. I don't want your pity.::Jeanne Barton: Pity? I don't pity you! I don't even feel sorry for you. I'll reserve that for the boys who really need it, the ones who are a lot worse off than you - the men who can't take a girl in their arms because they haven't any arms!

Jeanne Barton: I've shown all the initiative in first round; I'll be waiting to see what you do in the second.

Lon Evans: Now you know why I trained Starlight. He's to be my eyes.

Yancy: You know, folks all over Wyoming are talkin' about the seeing-eye horse, Starlight.

[last lines]::Jeanne Barton: [reading a letter] Oh, this is wonderful news! You remember that doctor I worked with in the service - you know, the one who performed that incredible eye operation?::Lon Evans: Yes, you told me about him.::Jeanne Barton: Well, by a very strange coincidence, he wrote me that he's going to spend his vacation here in Wyoming. He feels sure he can restore your sight.::Lon Evans: That is good news!::Jeanne Barton: I know this doctor can't miss.::Lon Evans: And if he does, I still have Starlight... and you.
