Fred Winslow: Are you new to this land, Mr. Rogers? The Promised Land, that's what it is. My father used to say, "The sun travels west... and so does opportunity."

Fred Winslow: Look at that, Julie Ann! You can see all the way into the middle of next week. A new world will be going in... that's what it is... and a start of a new life.

- Henry Hull in Colorado Territory (1949)

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.

Wells Fargo agent: Mister, the way I figure it, you got quite a reward coming from Wells Fargo. Just leave me your name and address and the superintendant will get it touch with you.
Wes McQueen: Thanks, but I'll settle for a good horse and saddle.

Dave Rickard: Have a drink, boy.
Wes McQueen: Are you supposed to have that stuff?

United States Marshal: Now remember, you men. If you flush him, don't try to shoot it out with him. He's quicker than a black-headed snake. Just send up a smoke signal and we'll spot it.

- Morris Ankrum in Colorado Territory (1949)

United States Marshal: Span out and we'll corral him in the Canyon of the Dead. First man that spots him, give the signal - three shots. And we'll tighten the cinch on him.

Pluthner: Was there any trouble?
Wes McQueen: A little. The marshal picked up Reno and Duke.
Pluthner: What? Ah, that was a tough break. They was good boys. But that's the game for ya... all part of the game. You and me, Wes - just you and me left out of that fine parcel of men. Of course, we end up with the money, you and me, but that's how the cards fall.
Wes McQueen: Look, Pluthner! This deck has had so much bottom-dealing that it's dog-eared. Too many jokers keep turning up.

- Joel McCrea in Colorado Territory (1949)

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.

- Harry Woods in Colorado Territory (1949)

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.
