Quotes8

  • Joe Madden: I got a knack at healing. I know something about it.
  • Sam Leeds: Look, you're a great horse doctor, Joe, and...
  • Joe Madden: There isn't much difference between a horse and a human. At least I know how to get started. You wouldn't even know that.
  • [Leeds and Griffin are surrounded by Indians]
  • Sam Leeds: No bullets, no protection... not even anything worth taking a last look at.
  • Reverend Griffin: It is God's earth, man. You wouldn't reject it in the hour of your death.
  • Sam Leeds: I guess the winning hand always comes up after the game has been played. That's the way it always is.
  • Sam Leeds: I like your notion, Reverend, that Apaches are just evils the Lord created to try honest men. I'm saved! I'm not an honest man.
  • Sam Leeds: Some men are makers. They got to sweat for what they want. I'm a taker. I got to be one.
  • Sally: You could be good and honest.
  • Sam Leeds: I saw my father work his heart out on a lathe in Bridgeport. He died young and he died broke. He was an honest man. I never want to be one.
  • Sam Leeds: Look, Reverend, you give a dog a bad name and everybody throws a stone at him. Sure, I gamble. I drink, too. I killed a man who was trying to kill me. This is a rough country and you got to take care of yourself.
  • Sam Leeds: You feel it's my fault that you're out here, huh?
  • Rev. Griffin: I put no blame on you now.
  • Sam Leeds: Well, if it'd make you feel any better, you were right.
  • Rev. Griffin: About what?
  • Sam Leeds: I never really cared about the town needin' water, I just wanted to show what a smart fellow I was - I wanted Sally to see that, and make a fool out of Joe. Now I only wish I could tell her I was wrong - about a lot of things.
  • Rev. Griffin: She will know.
  • Sally: You'll have to go without me Sam. Maybe I'm selfish. All I want is what every woman wants - a home, a place in the town where she lives, and an honest husband.
  • Sam Leeds: Yeah, it all adds up kind of dull and tame - like Joe Madden.
