- [Clay and Herk are preparing to whip a criminal]
- Herk Lamson: See that anthill at your feet, Clay? Ants are sure partial to open wounds.
- Clay McCord: How many lashes do you figure he'll need?
- Herk Lamson: Well, it all depends. The last man I whipped took 80 lashes before he turned obligin'. 'Course, if Mr. Cowan is going to be stubborn, we'll just have to leave it up to the ants to change his nature.
- Angela: What are you made of? Aren't you even sorry?
- Henchman Keever: I got no time for feelin' sorry. Life's for the livin', my old lady used to say, and I got a heap of it left I want to enjoy.
- Clay McCord: Where's Doc Miller?
- Marshal Simon Fry: If it's about Fran, she's okay. Seems getting kicked in the head by a horse don't have no effect on you McCords.
