• Jessica Harrison : [viewing from horseback, after Jim saves Jessica and they kiss, a change coming in the Aussie mountain weather]  It changes so suddenly. One moment it's like paradise, the next it's trying to kill you.

  Jim Craig : [to Curly]  Studying to be stupid.

  Jim Craig : Oh, hang on, that's not what I meant.

  Jessica Harrison : And they won't make a gentleman out of you, either.

• Curly : [to Jim Craig]  Did you break in more than the colt while you were up on that muster, eh? Did you have to use your spurs boy?

• Jim Craig : I'm not hiding beneath the skirts of a bunch of women.
