Johnny Crawford: Aaron Bolt

Quotes 

• Rowdy Yates : You don't know a lot of things, Aaron. You don't know this territory. You don't know this river. You lied to me just like your Pa did.

  Aaron Bolt : That ain't so.

  Rowdy Yates : It ain't, huh? I acted like a greenhorn with the two of you, took his word for everything, and made the same mistake with you.

  Aaron Bolt : Maybe I bragged on what I don't know but nobody knows this country like my Pa.

  Rowdy Yates : Nobody knows the saloons in this territory like your Pa, you mean.

• Aaron Bolt : Why Pa? 'Cos you're such a big man? Well, everybody knows you got cattle up and down the territory, herds and herds, more than a man can count. Why, you get more respect than the Governor, more than the President. Everybody loves you, Pa. Is that what you want me to say? Or do you want me to tell the truth?

• Aaron Bolt : You got a sour tongue, ain't you? Just like your cooking.

• Jonas Bolt : Sometimes I'm sorry I promised your mother I'd look out for yer.

  Aaron Bolt : You didn't promise her nothin.' The night she died you was out in an Indian village with fur trappers getting stinkin' drunk.

  Jonas Bolt : You can thank your lucky stars, I'm in no condition to whip yer.
