Colorado Territory Quotes:

Julie Ann Winslow: Did you ever think you'd like to travel a long way off... as far and as high as the moon... and stay there for good... forever... and forget all about things down here?
Wes McQueen: There's been plenty of times I wanted to get away from where I was.
Julie Ann Winslow: That far away?
Wes McQueen: Yeah, that far.
Julie Ann Winslow: You never talk about yourself. I don't know anything about you at all.
Wes McQueen: There's nothing to tell. Like you said, wanting to get far off from what you've been. This is far off.
Fred Winslow: My boy, never buy a foot of land more than five miles from home and not until you've seen it felt it, tasted it and smelled it. And at that, you might get bamboozled.
Colorado Carson: We don't want to turn back.
Brother Tomas: Then go forward my children. Follow the trail over the pass... beyond the Canyon of the Dead.
Wes McQueen: It reminds me of a little heist we planned in west Kansas about five or six years ago. One fella was smooth and slippery. The other was green and gabby. The third was just plain mean, from the top of his head to his boot heel. The next thing we know, there was a boxcar of soldiers coupled to that train. Too bad we never knew which one sent word to the soldiers. It would have been better for the other two if we had. Their monuments are right outside Boxville, Kansas. The prettiest little Bone Orchard you've ever seen. Little stone angels watching them.
Pluthner: Well, don't get any ideas you are through with us. You wouldn't last long cut off from the herd, McQueen. You're branded clean to the bone.
