The railroad is going to make a lot of changes... a lot of changes, Vance. I can remember when your daddy and I trapped the Wind River country. A man could walk a week and never see another living human... just them mountains... big, purple. It's getting so crowded a man can't draw a full breath.

Matthew Stoker:
Bradford, come over here!
Rev. George Bradford: The page that contains the code has been torn out.
Gilbert Archer: Oh, that page! Now isn't that careless of me?
Rev. George Bradford: What have you done with it?
Gilbert Archer: I completely forgot to tell you about it. I left it in the safe at my hotel.
Matthew Stoker: What was on that page?
Rev. George Bradford: Stoker!
Gilbert Archer: Now we mustn't lose our heads, must we, Bradford? Because if anything happens to me, you'll lose your last chance at finding that painting.
Rev. George Bradford: Very shrewdly put, Mr. Archer. As soon as Rausch brings Helms here, you're going with us to your apartment. There you're going to give us the missing page.

Younger Miles:
[Miles catches his wife drinking again] I warned you, Abbie!
Abbie Miles: I'm in my own home!
[Miles slaps her and walks out just as Abbie's father walks in]
Sheriff O'Hea: Has that ever happened before, Abbie?
[She shakes her head and cries]
Sheriff O'Hea: When you were a little girl, I couldn't bring myself to lay a hand on you, even to spank you, no matter how wild you got. I never thought I'd live to see the day my girl got slapped and I did nothing about it.
Abbie Miles: I'm in my own home!

When I pay a man, I expect him to be loyal enough to keep his mouth shut.
Chris Denning: And if you don't pay him?
Younger Miles: He still gets paid, some other way.
Chris Denning: [Speaking to a man in the bar, loud enough for everyone to hear] Hey, you there. You know Mrs. Miles? I took her home last night. She was drunk. Dead drunk.
[the others in the saloon begin to clear away]
Sheriff O'Hea: [Walking in the door] Hi, everybody. I'm serving notice on all you evildoers to make yourself scarce, because the majesty of the law has just arrived. Well, just in time!

I understand you filed for reelection next fall, Bravo.
Sheriff Bravo Trimble: Yeah, they talked me into it. I figured on opening up a saloon or maybe going back to practicing dentistry. But somebody has got to keep law and order in the county.
