Quotes
-
Cal Brennan : See, these boys have no home, except for a horse and a cook shack. They got no property but a saddle and a gun. They don't earn any money. Got no wife, got no kids. They spend their entire life pushing cattle around to where them cattle don't want to go.
Robert Slocum : Sounds like a terrible job.
Cal Brennan : Yes, sir, it is a terrible job, but it's their job. All they got is freedom and pride; keeping their word and looking out for one another. All they got is their rules.
Robert Slocum : And where are these rules written down?
Cal Brennan : They're not written down, you damn fool. They're lived.
Robert Slocum : But they work for us.
Cal Brennan : They don't work for anybody. They work for the life.
