  Jason McCord : Well, we need some water.

  Howland : Oh, plenty of it in the well.

  Luke : Hold on, stranger, it ain't fit. It was Apaches that burned it.

  Jason McCord : They could have poisoned the water?

  Luke : Well, that's what we don't know.

  Jason McCord : You figured to find out from us if that water was safe or not, huh?

• Luke : Get to my age, talking's one of the few pleasures left in life.

• Luke : It's the only well for forty miles. I'd never make it. One of you fellas thirsty enough to give it a try? Then I'll know for sure.

• Luke : For 40 years I scratched this desert from one end to the other, now I've struck the mother lode. It's mine, all mine.
