- Elsa Knudsen: My father says there's only right and wrong. Good and evil. Nothing in between. It isn't that simple, is it?
- Steve Judd: No, it isn't. It should be, but it isn't.
- Elsa Knudsen: What's gonna happen to him?
- Steve Judd: The boy? I'll testify for him. They shouldn't be too hard.
- Elsa Knudsen: Will you testify for Mr. Westrum?
- Steve Judd: No. I won't.
- Elsa Knudsen: Why?
- Steve Judd: Because he was my friend.
- Elsa Knudsen: Mr. Longtree was a perfect gentleman.
- Sylvus Hammond: How come? Something wrong with him?
- Heck Longtree: Must be pretty lonely living up here.
- Elsa Knudsen: Sometimes, I get to thinkin' there's nobody left in the world but my father and me.
- Joshua Knudsen: That mining town is a sinkhole of depravity, a place of shame and sin.
- Elsa Knudsen: According to my father, every place outside this farm is a place of sin.
- Elsa Knudsen: I guess you're an authority on what most girls do.
- Heck Longtree: Well, I've studied the subject.
- Elsa Knudsen: My father doesn't want me to get married. Oh, he says he does - if I can find a decent young man. But nobody's decent according to him. You included. Said you were no good. Said the likes of you don't stop at talkin'.
- Heck Longtree: You know, he has a point there.
- Billy Hammond: If you need any help - fastenin' up your wedding dress, you just holler, you hear?
- Elsa Knudsen: I'll manage.
