- Elam Ferguson: I'm only gonna say this once. This here baby white, I know that. I do, but she mine. I don't care what color she is, she mine. She ain't got no other father but me. Who else gonna love her?
- Cullen Bohannan: Elam, that baby ain't gonna bring you nothing but a heap of trouble and pain for the rest of your life.
- Sean McGinnes: [worried about Bohannan] He, uh... he knows. He as much as said so.
- Thomas 'Doc' Durant: Sean, if he knew, you would have a hole in your head right there. Find your manhood and embrace it. We're in the endgame.
- Mickey McGinnes: It doesn't sound like rustling to me.
- Cullen Bohannan: What I'm saying is, what would horse thieves want with a baby?
- Mickey McGinnes: Well, baby thieves need horses, surely.
