Gus McCrae : [Looking at a herd of buffalo, such as hadn't been seen in Texas for many years] Pretty, ain't they?
Pea Eye Parker : I reckon
Gus McCrae : Let's chase 'em. You want to?
Pea Eye Parker : Shoot us one for our supper?
Gus McCrae : No, I mean chase 'em just for the sport of it
Pea Eye Parker : to run them off?
Gus McCrae : You don't get the point, do you Pea? I mean chase 'em, because before long, there won't be any buffalo left TO chase
Pea Eye Parker : Them bulls 'll hook you. D'you remember ol' man Barlow? A buffalo hooked him bad
Gus McCrae : Old man Barlow was a slow thinker, kinda like somebody else I could name
Pea Eye Parker : Well he was a slow walker, too, after that buffalo got through with him. Wonder what ever happened to him...
Gus McCrae : He married a fat widow over on the Blanco River, and had a passel of kids. Now you might as well have done the same thing yourself, since you don't want to chase buffalo
Pea Eye Parker : Well I don't believe I'd want to chase buffalo even if I was married
Gus McCrae : Forget I even mentioned it, Pea
Pea Eye Parker : Well, I like bein' a bachelor, Gus
Gus McCrae : That's good, Pea; I'm sure it's all part of god's plan that You ARE one

Pea Eye Parker : [Indians have attacked Gus & Pea, on a scouting expedition, wounding both] They're gonna try sneakin' up on us in the dark, ain't they Gus?
Gus McCrae : be takin' a chance if they do, couple of sharp-shooters like us
Pea Eye Parker : I ain't no sharp-shooter. I usually miss if I ain't got time to take careful aim
Gus McCrae : 'y god but it's depressin' to talk to you, Pea
-
Pea Eye Parker : What Indians is it we're fightin' anyway?
Augustus 'Gus' McCrae : They didn't introduce themselves.
-
Pea Eye Parker : [after Gus tells him he has to sneak past the Indians and go for help] What if they catch me?
Gus McCrae : Well, they'll probably start by cuttin' your cojones off.
