- Wishbone: Most of the kids I've ever known oughtta be froze. Stiff from the time they could walk and thawed out with caution after twenty.
- Wishbone: [to Mushy] This whole wagon's on its way to Little Rock! IF YOU WANNA TAKE A TRIP WITH IT, YOU STAY HERE!
- Wishbone: Y'see, Musgrove and I was both raised in foundling homes.
- Edgar Allan Smithers: Oh, now, really?
- Wishbone: Yeah. Oh that's music to my ears. Don't that take you back!
- Mushy: Sure does, Mr Hagerty.
- Edgar Allan Smithers: Well, I could use the help, but I'm afraid I couldn't afford.
- Wishbone: Mr Smithers, you're looking at two bone-weary, lonesome travellers, just looking for a place like home we can hang our hats for a while. We'd even work for our keep.
- Gil Favor: That beef would have brought me $4,000 in Denver.
- Calvin Randolph: That is a heavy loss, Mr Favor.
- Gil Favor: Ah, well, on the law of averages, guess, well, can't win 'em all. Oh, by the way, how much did you make on the transaction?
- Calvin Randolph: Oh, I made twenty-seven hundred clear.
- Gil Favor: Well, whoever bought them steers knew what he was up to.
- Edgar Allan Smithers: Now, you take that tornado last week.
- Gil Favor: We took it all right.
- Edgar Allan Smithers: Oh I know it must have brought some havoc for some, but to those whose ship was floundering on the pinnacle of probation, well, indeed, sir, it was truly a blessing.
- Rowdy Yates: Sorta like cows from heaven, huh?
- [Rowdy earns a dirty sideways look from his Boss]
- Edgar Allan Smithers: Well, I feel a little bad about this money too, Calvin, it does seem to be a little extra providence.
- Calvin Randolph: 59, and 53, 3,000.
- Wishbone: And on those papers you can put my name, George Hagerty. See, I'm the one that found them. I'll just sign with my customary X.
- Gil Favor: What my poor simple ramrod thinks I'm gonna do, and what I finally decide to do, are two entirely different things.
- Calvin Randolph: Don't sit there asking stupid questions! He was bald-headed, runty, and he had whiskers. Now go find him!
- Sheriff Andrews: Whiskers, hmm? Runty? Oh, that sounds like Stubby George Hogarth. Yep, goes by Hagerty, Hogarth, Hogan. He had to stick to Hs 'cos he's got his initials tattooed.
- Calvin Randolph: I'm not interested in the details! GO FIND HIM!
- Calvin Randolph: Ah, I'd have to round up a posse. Stubby George is a lot of man!
- Rowdy Yates: [after rescuing three children from up high in a tree with Quince, five more children spill from another tree nearby] What is this? Some sort of an olde time tree climbing convention?
