Quotes 

• Ennis : [Elsa is crying when she finishes playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata]  Don't know any happy ones?

  [Elsa laughs] 

• Ennis : Catchin' up on your beauty sleep, I guess. Lord know you don't need much of that.

• Ennis : [as Elsa sings to the herd, doffs his hat and kisses her]  Guess I'm the one being forward now.

  Ennis : [stutters]  I... I'm... I'm sorry, I probably should...

  Elsa Dutton : [exhilarated, smiling]  Do it again.

  [James watches the two until they stop then look in his direction, he then canters up] 

  Ennis : You gonna shoot me?

  James Dutton : [deadpan]  Thinking about it.

  James Dutton : [to Elsa]  We're moving the wagon across the river.

  Elsa Dutton : When?

  James Dutton : Now.

  Elsa Dutton : I should stay with the herd. It takes three to move it.

  James Dutton : Herd ain't going nowhere with you two swapping supper. You got a job to do. Y'all do it.

  Elsa Dutton : Yessir.

  Elsa Dutton : [James reins and rides off]  Daddy.

  Elsa Dutton : [reins, clicks tongue, rides to her father who's waiting]  You mad?

  James Dutton : You like him?

  Elsa Dutton : [hesitant]  I do.

  James Dutton : Then why would I be mad? I can't treat you like an adult when it suits me and a child when I'm worried. You're one or the other. Your mother is gonna be a different story.

  Elsa Dutton : [concerned]  You gonna tell her?

  James Dutton : [metaphorically washing his hands]  Hell, no. I ain't gonna tell her. You're gonna tell her. Y'all hold the herd till every wagon is across that river.

  Elsa Dutton : Yessir.

  [reins, clicks tongue, returns to the herd] 

  Elsa Dutton : [James sighs, click his tongue, rides away from herd] 

  Ennis : He ain't gonna shoot me?

  Elsa Dutton : [mockingly]  No, he said I could shoot you. If you act up.

  Ennis : Well, acting up is my only skill.

  Elsa Dutton : No, it ain't... do it again.

  [chuckles] 

  Ennis : [doffs both hats playfully]  Come here.
