- Hotel Manager: Mr Favor had a reservation.
- Yo Yo: How'd he do that? He was with us all the time.
- Wishbone: Never mind how he did it, he's the Boss.
- Wishbone: I'll worry about it after I got me a bath.
- Mushy: Who's gonna be first, Mr Wishbone?
- Wishbone: The only fair way's for the oldest man to go first. And I may never get out of it. All right.
- [to the Hotel Manager]
- Wishbone: Count us up, divide by two and that's how many rooms we want!
- Yo Yo: As close to the baths as you got!
- Yo Yo: He's been riding me, yelling at me day and night ever since this drive began.
- Wishbone: Well, no wonder, every time you turn around, you put your foot in the bucket. I never saw one man in my life that would make so many mistakes.
- Yo Yo: Well, that ain't so. That just ain't so. Maybe a couple of little things.
- Jim Quince: It's just good you ain't a fiddle player, 'cos you couldn't play ONE tune!
- Sheriff: Ask around.
- Jim Quince: We'd go dry a mighty long time in this town if we follow them directions. Now where else can we get a drink?
- Mushy: Why don't you ask her if she's gonna go
- [to the dance]
- Mushy: , Mr Yo Yo? You told me you was a ladies' man.
- Wishbone: Yeah, why don't you just walk on over and ask her?
- Mushy: Go ahead, Mr Yo Yo, like you did a hundred times before. Like you told us.
- Jim Quince: Yeah. Go on, go on.
- Yo Yo: Well, all right, I will. You just wait here, and sit here, and watch me walk over there, and talk to them folk.
- Wishbone: Well, maybe, somebody oughta go with him, just so he don't go over there and ask what time of day it is and come back and tell us something different.
- Jim Quince: Yeah, I'll go with him with him just to keep him honest.
- Wishbone: Come on. Up.
- Pierre: [Talking about Yo Yo who is wearing his new clothes and squeaky new boots. He's seated Yo Yo at a table in the Farnsworth Hotel Dining Room] He is either a dressed-up drover, or a wealthy cattleman. In Europe one would know.
- Gil Favor: Rowdy, can't you think about something else to talk about to a pretty young lady except about a bunch of old cows?
- Claire Dennis: I think Rowdy would rather be across the road with one of the girls at the Ox Saloon. He could probably think of a lot of things to say there, couldn't you?
- Rowdy Yates: Yeah, I could.
- Claire Dennis: I'm sure you'd do quite well with one of those girls.
- Rowdy Yates: I get along all right.
- Claire Dennis: What do you talk about?
- Claire Dennis: Claire, you wouldn't be interested.
- Rowdy Yates: Hey, look, I gotta talk to you.
- Gil Favor: All right, all right, you can use the razor after I'm finished with it.
- Rowdy Yates: No, no. I.
- Gil Favor: On one condition. That you strop and hone it after you're through.
- Rowdy Yates: No, no. Look.
- Gil Favor: I'm a reasonable man and I hate to get picky about little things. But I can't tell you how maddening it is to get this cold steel all the way up to my face and then have to go back and get the stone and strop and start all over again from scratch. Now you know I'd do anything in the world for you.
- Rowdy Yates: The men wanna quit, Boss.
- Gil Favor: Oh, my men don't fit into the plans you have laid out for your little town, huh? Hey, yah. Yeah, I can understand how you might feel. Drovers do spend most of their time on the trail and it keeps them from all the schooling and learning the fancy manners that they should have. I admit some are strangers to a bar of soap. And a change of clothes as often as they might like. And they are a pretty noisy lot when they come into town. I can't deny that. Also the fact that they push a herd of cattle through country that'd starve a goat to get 'em to your town. Don't count for too much, I guess. Even when you consider that fact, it's gonna make ten times a better living for you than they'll ever know. I can see how you'd be offended by all the drinking, their gambling. But what I want to know is, just what are you offering them instead?
- Claire Dennis: Last night you promised me a conversation. Will I see you again?
- Rowdy Yates: Tell me, do you, by any chance, you have an aunt you can visit in Lincolnshire? Hoho? Dodge?
- Claire Dennis: Abilene.
- Rowdy Yates: Abilene. Beautiful. Yeah, they like us in Abilene.
